## Murder details

The crew walked toward the cave and Mia peeked in to sense any signs of Medusa but was unable to hear even a hissing sound. The team decided before entering the cave all together, one or two must explore so that Medusa wouldn’t take them all by surprise once they come hunting for her. Mary offered to go in, but the crew noticed she was feeling unwell and told her she should rest instead. The group talked and they agreed that Mia and Zachary should go in and they wished them safety before they entered the cave. Feeling tense, Mia and Zachary made sure to look at all directions as they’re exploring the cave so that Medusa would not give them a jumpscare. Suddenly Zachary stopped and Mia asked him what was wrong and he pointed at a trail of blood he had spotted. This puzzled the duo as they thought Medusa killed her enemies by turning them to stone, leaving no blood behind, so they decided to follow the trail. When they followed the trail they found Niilo Hämäläinen laying unconscious with a wound on his left arm and the side of his head, and they also found a headless body which wore clothes they recognized as **Perseus**’.

## Killer and motives

After finding enough evidence, Mia and Zachary determined that Allen Muir was Perseus’ murderer. Allen was angry at the accusations and tried to deny them but after Mia and Zachary started pressing on him, he flipped out and admitted that he killed Perseus to rescue Medusa from him. Allen revealed that the gorgons were his friends and when Andromeda told him that her husband came to the island to kill Medusa, he begged her to convince her husband to go away. Unfortunately, Andromeda died so instead, Allen head all the way to Medusa’s cave to warn her that there were people who came to hunt her down. This made Medusa feel scared so Allen decided to temporarily stay at her cave in order to protect her from any harm. While Allen was out collecting fruits for Medusa and himself, he spotted Perseus heading to the cave and quietly followed him. When he arrived, he caught Perseus attacking a kid (Niilo) and before he could kill him, Allen took a rock and threw it at Perseus which made him drop his sword. Allen then grabbed the sword while Perseus was acknowledging what had happened, Allen chopped off his head with one slace from *Hárpē*. Zachary asked Allen how he could make friends with a monster like Medusa, which infuriated Allen and he told Zachary that Medusa is a sweet girl and he knows nothing of her. The hermit was about to attack Zachary and Mia, but was restrained by Alex Stamos, who came out of nowhere and he assured Allen that they are his friends. Alex then turned to the duo and told them that they must have a lot of questions and asked them to meet him and Jennifer at Medusa’s lair to get the answers.
