## Storyline

Jacob meets Aristeepe, the Moon Monk, near the start of Chapter 2. They unite on basis of finding someone in Mycelium. Ari is looking for her brother, Werner. They find him soon after and head further. Aristeepe's intentions are simple, she wants to return her brother back to their mother after he ran away.

**>>> SPOILER WARNING <<<**

Aristeepe and Werner are brother and sister with Ari being the younger one, their Mother is an opera shaman and father is a hunter. One day father got hurt badly at the hunt and barely made it home. His wound was deadly and he asked for monks. Werner didn't wait for too long and went searching for the Light Monk, who could heal his father's wound or revive him after death. Aristeepe stayed there, so she knew, that her father asked for the Moon Monk, who can ease his pain and kill him properly. Someone from the Moon temple came shortly and helped the hunter to pass away peacefully. That day she understood, she wants to become a Moon Monk too.

Aristeepe became a monk at a very young age, not even old enough by Moon Monk's standarts. Her stubborness and determination helped her with that and will help her later. Ari spent most of her conscious years of life serving the Moon. Her brother always was a mess of a person, not really doing anything with his life. He served the Wind Monks since his father passed away. One day he ran away to Mycelium, right after a big scandalous news, that Wind Monks turned out to be liars and were just scamming people. Aristeepe didn't wait for too long and rushed straight ahead for him.

After finding her brother with Jacob she tried to make him feel better. She arranged another person (can be anyone from the main character cast) to teach Werner some skills to bring some foundation to his life. Ari watched him become stronger and better person.

Aristeepe also argued a lot with Paulo, who is a Light Monk. After a lot of discussions, thoughts and doubts it may occur for Ari, that she should sin as much as possible and see what happens. Just like with Paulo it can result in Aristeepe meeting the Moon herself and understanding, that Moon religion is just a misunderstanding of old Moon magic and true powers lie within Ari.

Based on Ari's decisions and Werner's storyline, they can have different endings:

Werner's story may lead him to leave the party and run deep into Mycelium. In that case, Aristeepe will be the leader of last party, that will go and search for him, only to find out, that he now serves Mycelium. After defeating Werner, Aristeepe will knock him out and pull him to the exit at the end. If she didn't meet the Moon though, she will obey the Moon religion's ways to judge the situation and will kill Werner.

If Werner declines Mycelium's offer, Aristeepe will be kidnapped by Mycelium and Werner will lead the party to her rescue and then escape Mycelium.
