Pride or Envy?/Dialogues

At the palace, Kaleb and Marionette are sitting in the private living room while Leonora is speaking with the guards...

* + Leonora (inpatient): What do you mean by you couldn’t find her? Where could a girl all dolled up in makeup and gold could possibly hide?! It shouldn’t take long to spot her among the crowd!

* + Guards (Male; nervous): W-we don’t know, we searched up everywhere, even in Jennifer Tanaka’s estate where she could easily blend in, but she’s nowhere to be found!

* + Leonora (pissed): She’s got to be here! You just look hard enough, now go back to the search and bring her back to the palace!

* + Guards (Female; sweating): Your grace, about that.... We don’t believe she’s even here...

* + Leonora (confused): Please clarify...

* + Guards (Female; shocked): What we mean is that she’s possibly not even in the city but far away from it!

* + Leonora (shocked): What makes you believe that?!

* + Guards (Female; biting her lips): Our dockworkers found tiny holes on a wooden board built next to where the Black Sparrow was parking, which has recently left for a voyage...

* + Guards (Female; serious): We believe those holes came from the heels of a woman and that our target may have been hiding in The Black Sparrow before it went off!

* + Marionette (shocked): Oh no! Madelina told me that she wanted to leave Graecita, but I didn’t think she was serious!

* + Leonora (crossing her arms): Silence, Mrs Patrick!

* + Leonora (covering her face): Thank you for informing us, you may leave the palace...

After the guards have left....

* + Marionette (covering her face): I can’t believe this is happening. This is all my fault, I shouldn’t have told her all these things before the party, I should have kept my mouth shut...

* + Kaleb (sympathetic): Marionette, Madelina will be back soon. Zachary and Mary Read are only taking Mia and her friends to speak with the goddess Artemis, they’ll return from the journey in a week or two...

* + Kaleb (covering his face): Let’s hope that they found Madelina abroad by now so she doesn’t go anywhere and get lost...

* + Leonora (crossing her arms): Mrs Patrick, would you mind giving me and my brother a minute...

* + Marionette (sad): Of course, I’ll be out of here, just give me a second...

Marionette leaves the room...

* + Kaleb (covering his face): Poor Marionette-

* + Leonora (furious): WHERE IS SHE?!

* + Kaleb (blushing): Are you talking about Madelina, Lea? The guards just said-

* + Leonora (angry): Damn with that girl! You know who I’m talking about, where is YVETTE?!

* + Kaleb (shocked): Yvette?

* + Leonora (pissed): Do not give me that dumbfounded look! I had a feeling that you never buried her corpse and that tantrum Madelina had in the throne room before her escape confirmed my suspicions!

* + Leonora (serious): So I’m asking you again, WHERE DID YOU HIDE HER BODY?!

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): .....

* + Kaleb (covering his face): In my study, behind the bookshelves there are stairs which lead to a room I specially designed for Yvette...

* + Leonora (frustrated): ....

* + Kaleb (nervous): Leonora, please, if you have any insults in store for me, just spit them ou-

* + Leonora (serious): I will send orders to have her body buried...

* + Kaleb (shocked): What?! NO!

* + Leonora (covering her face): Kaleb, I know you love her and can’t get away from her, but if you really had any respect for her, you would agree with m-

* + Kaleb (angry): You can’t do that! You have no right! She’s my girlfriend, my son’s mother! I should have a say on what should be done to her body!

* + Leonora (pissed): And I am your queen and it’s your duty to follow my orde-

* + Kaleb (furious): MY QUEEN?! You speak as if you earned the title!

* + Kaleb (angry): We both know the only reason you got that title is thanks to me and your father being the King of Olympus himself! People only obey you because I advocated for you and I could take that away if you wish! So don’t you raise your nose at me!

* + Leonora (shocked): ....

* + Kaleb (sweating): Oh lord... Lea, I didn’t mean- I don’t know why I said tha-

* + Leonora (sad): Get out...

* + Kaleb (panicking): Lea, I’m so sorr-

* + Leonora (furious; tearful): I said, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

Kaleb leaves the room apologetically, slamming the door open and when he is out of sight, someone who was behind the door, groans in pain...

* + Leonora (crying): ...

* + Norah (hurt): Ow...

* + Leonora (wiping her tears): Who’s here?

* + Norah (awkward grin): It’s me, Norah...

* + Leonora (serious): H-how long have you been standing there?!

* + Norah (scratching her head; grinning): Not long... But long enough to here what Kaleb had said to you...

* + Leonora (eye rolling): Oh....

* + Norah (sympathetic): Lea, are you feeling alright? What were you and Kaleb fighting about?

* + Leonora (wiping her tears): I-it’s nothing, just forget about it...

Meanwhile, at *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*. Mia is seen standing on the crow’s nest...

* + Mia (looking through the telescope): This is our destination... But I can’t see any signs of the huntresse-

Suddenly Zachary jumps next to her...

* + Zachary (wiping sweat): Have you found anything, Mia?

* + Mia (startled): Ah!!

Mia realizes Zachary is next to her, and he still isn’t wearing a shirt...

* + Mia (blushing; trying to look away): Zachary, you scared me! What are you doing here?

* + Zachary (cracking his neck): Nothing. Just wanted to check on you, how are you doing?

* + Mia (sweating): .....

* + Zachary (blushing): Mia, am I bothering you?

* + Mia (awkward grin): What, absolutely not... It’s just...

* + Mia (flushed): I don’t feel comfortable when standing next to shirtless men..

* + Zachary (thinking): I see....

* + Mia (blushing): And not because you’re attractive- I mean you’re not attractive- I mean, like, umm... You’re not bad-looking, you’re hot- But I’m not saying that because I’m attracted to you or anything, even if you are an ugly, fat, hairy guy I will feel uncomfortable next to you!

* + Mia (covering her face): This is embarrassing...

* + Zachary (laughing): It’s alright! I get what you’re trying to say, haha!

* + Zachary (friendly): Now here, try to look at me...

* + Mia (opening one eye): ....

Mia then opens the second eye and suddenly Zachary gives a smug look and uses his reflexes to make his chest bounce...

* + Zachary (smug; moves his chest): .....

* + Mia (laughing): Oh please stop! You’re teasing me now!

* + Zachary (laughing): Ok, I’ll put on my wife-beaters just to make you happy!

Zachary finally puts on a top and suddenly he and Mia hear noises coming from the deck...

* + Zachary (curious): What’s going on down there?

* + Mia (looking through the telescope): Let me see...

* + Mia (eye rolling): It’s just Hasuro and Rick messing around, let’s see what’s getting them wind up!

Down at the deck...

* + Maverick (forced smile): Come here kitty kitty, we won’t hurt you...

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): Maverick, anyone can tell your tone is angry, you won’t catch her that way!

* + Maverick (pissed): Then how else would I catch that rascal?! Any ideas?!

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Can you guys tone it down? I could hear you two from up the nest! What’s going on?!

* + Hasuro (rolling his eyes): Rick’s mad that a cat ripped his jeans...

Hasuro points at Briare’s bum where there’s a scratch showing his heart-printed boxers...

* + Briare (angry): Don’t point at it! And hey! Don’t look!

* + Zachary (chuckling): Sorry....

* + Mia (confused): What cat are you too talking abou-

* + Mehitabel: Purr......

Mia notices a cat sitting on a barrel...

* + Mia (shocked): Mehitabel? How did she end up here?! I thought I forgot her back at Grimsdale!

* + Maverick (eye rolling): Seems like she found a way in the ship...

* + Mia (awkward grin): Hey girl.... There’s nothing to be afraid about, just let me touch you-

* + Mehitabel (furious): MEOWWWW!!!

Mehitabel scratches Mia’s hand....

* + Mia (holding her bleeding hand): Ow...

* + Zachary (worried): Mia, are you okay?!

* + Mia (wincing): I’m fine....

* + Hasuro (smiling): Here, let me tend your wound...

Hasuro tends Mia’s wound....

* + Hasuro (curious): How does it feel?

* + Mia (breathing): Better....

* + Maverick (crossing her arms): So.... What are we gonna do with the cat?

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Ugh... We’ll just leave it be, if she’s willing to compromise, then cool. She can leave the ship and stay in the alps all I car-

* + Mary (calling): We have arrived to our destination. Passengers, It’s time to leave the ship!

* + Ophelia (holding her barf): Finally! I was really getting seasick!

The ship boards and the crew get out of the ship. YOU ARE MIA

* + Yoyo (fascinated): Isn’t the view so beautiful? The air so fresh?

* + Maverick (yawning): Not really my vibe, but yeah, cool....

* + Ophelia (confused): Captain Read, are you sure that’s our destination?

* + Hasuro (curious): Yeah, how come there aren’t any other ships around?

* + Mary (shrugging her shoulders): Don’t look at me, I know barely anything about your mission, I just took you to where I was told and that’s my job here.

* + Zachary (thinking): Ophelia, Hasuro. Gods travel to places in different ways than humans. We came here by voyage, Artemis and her huntresses must likely came here through a flying chariot.

* + Maverick (amazed): Holy shit! These exist?!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Yeah, ever heard of Apollo’s chariot?

* + Maverick (scratching her head; grinning): Nah! History’s not really my thing...

* + Ophelia (eye rolling): Anyway, since we’re here now, what should we do now?

* + Zachary (thinking): Mia and I will go and ask the forest dwellers if they saw Artemis. The rest of you, stay at the ship.

* + Maverick (crossing her arms): Are you kidding me? What’s there in the ship to do other than eating, cleaning and playing poker? Why can’t we come with you?!

* + Zachary (serious): We need to keep a low profile. The woodland creatures, especially the dryads have a fear of humans. They trust me as I had history with them and Mia is a daughter of Demeter, so they won’t react badly around her.

* + Maverick: But-

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Rick, please, this is serious. I don’t like it either, but if Zachary says we need to stay behind, then it’s for the better.

* + Zachary (serious): Thanks, Ophelia. Mia, let’s go!

Deep in the forest...

* + Zachary (smirking): Having any trouble here? You know, for a child of Demeter, you really suck at hiking! Haha..

* + Zachary (curious): Wait, you spot something nearby?

* + Zachary (concerned): There’s a dryad sitting next to that tree, it seems to me she must be in distress...

* + Zachary (serious): Let’s go help her out, maybe she’d reward us of some info on Artemis’ whereabouts!

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the forest (Victim identified: Miranda)

* + Zachary (covering his face): It seems like the dryad isn’t in need of our help. She’s dead.

* + Zachary (shocked): Wait! I know that nymph! That’s our friend, Miranda!

* + Zachary (holding his head): I forgot, you weren’t with me at Cambright, so you must be unfamiliar with her...

* + Zachary (sad): You see... 7 years ago, I lived in Cambright and there me and my friends met many greek entities including mermaids, a scylla, satyrs and dryads. Miranda was a dryad that did us many favors and stood by our satyr friend Alex in his trial...

* + Zachary (covering her face): I didn’t know her that much, but either way it sucks that she’s dead...

* + Zachary (pissed): And it’s clear that her death is not natural. It was a murder, someone stabbed her right at the heart!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): I don’t see anything that looks like a murder weapon around, but it seems like someone dropped their fishing rod behind and, aha! It’s covered with bloo-

* + Rubarae (crossing her arms): Miranda! Honestly, how long will it take you to scavenge for eggs-

* + Rubarae (shocked): Oh dear! Miranda, what happened to her?!

* + Rubarae (furious): YOU!

* + Zachary (glad): Rubarae, it’s nice to see you again! We need your hel-

* + Rubarae (angry): Silence! I have no time to listen to your excuses, you’re both following me to court unless you want to turn into a crisp!

* + Zachary (shocked): Rubarae, you don’t actually believe I would hurt Miranda or any other forest creature, do you?

* + Rubarae (eye rolling): Who else am I supposed to accuse, you’re the first people I see standing next to the bod-

* + Rubarae (shocked): Wait?! How do you know my name?!

* + Zachary (confused): Don’t you recognize me, from Cambright?

* + Rubarae (thinking): .....

* + Rubarae (shocked): Now that you say it, I remember you! You’re one of the humans that helped free my tribe from Duchess Ursule’s trap!

* + Zachary (serious): Glad that you recovered your memory. If you don’t mind, we need to speak with you!

* Talk to Rubarae (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the forest)

* + Rubarae (frustrated): Mr Riley, I apologize for being quick into accusing you and your friend of the murder, I just feel really frustrated these days. It’s like I’m slowly turning into my mother...

* + Zachary (thinking): Hey, it’s fine! I’ve never been dragged into the same position as you, but I understand leadership is not as fun as it seems...

* + Rubarae (blushing): I’m glad that you’re understanding. Anyway, what are you doing hear? It’s seems to me that you are a little far from where you came from...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): We came here for business, however this can be saved for later. What’s important now is finding out who killed Miranda and we have some questions for you...

* + Zachary (curious): If we are going to find Miranda’s killer, it’s important to investigate every place she possibly went to before she was killed. So we would like to know where Miranda liked to spend most of her time in. Of course, if you have an answer for that question...

* + Rubarae (smiling): Of course I do! You know how Miranda liked to spend her time around the lake back at Cambright? She still kept that habit of hers even after we moved here...

* + Rubarae (smirking): However, she’s not the only one who has that habit anymore. Ever since Narkissus regenerated at our region, our girls started crowding the lake just to admire his beauty and begging him to dig plants with them...

* + Rubarae (innocent smirk): Even I frequently visited, but of course... Not for Narkissus, but because I started developing fishing as a hobby...

* + Zachary (glad): Thank you for the tip, Rubarae. Mia, lets go to the lake!

* Investigate the lake (Pre-request: Talk to Rubarae)

* + Zachary (thinking): This guy sitting on the board by himself must be Narkissus, considering both he and the victim allegedly spent most of their time at the lake, they must’ve crossed paths. We should definitely speak with him...

* + Zachary (curious): Did you find anything else interesting, Mia?

* + Zachary (refreshing his memory): Wait a minute... Where did I see that shell necklace before-

* + Rubarae (pissed): Hey! Lay your hands of my possessions, you-

* + Rubarae (smiling): Oh- It’s you... I didn’t expect to see you around here, Mr Zachary!

* + Zachary (shocked): How did you kno- Wait! Aren’t you the naiad we met when returning from New Concordia?!

* + Zachary (serious): We need to speak with you!

* Ask Natalie what she is doing here (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the lake)

* + Zachary (confused): Alright Nat, this will be quick. What are you doing here? In fact, how did you even end up in the lake?!

* + Natalie (twirling her hair): This place here is what I consider my home. I was on what you humans would call a “vacation” when you met me bear your borders..

* + Natalie (innocent smirking): About how I get in and out, there’s a secret route that leads to the sea under the lake.

* + Natalie (smiling): Anyway, lets stop talking about me and talk about you. It’s really nice to see you again Mr Zachary, what brings you into our land today?

* + Zachary (covering his face): Mia and I are on a quest, but unfortunately we have another obstacle to deal with. A dryad has been murdered...

* + Zachary (serious): Her name is Miranda and according to your forest protector, she spent majority of her time around the lake. We take it that you two met!

* + Natalie (shocked): Miranda is dead! How horrible! I can’t believe anyone would want to kill her!

* + Natalie (sad): I didn’t know her in a personal level, but she seems really sweet. She’d often throw food at the swans and help decorate the lake with plants...

* + Natalie (covering her face): I guess the fates claim whomever they want. It was nice speaking with you, but I have to go fishing, my stomach is growling for food...

* Talk to Narkissus (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the lake)

* + Narkissus (affectionate): I never believed in love at first sight, but that was before I saw you...

* + Zachary (blushing): Excuse me?!

* + Narkissus (in love): Your eyes.... they’re like the ocean; I could swim in them all day and night...

* + Zachary (confused): Sir.... Who are you talking t-

* + Narkissus (affectionate): It’s no wonder the sky is so gray.... The color is all in your eyes...

* + Zachary (covering his face): Oh god... Mia, I think I know what’s going on...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): When Rubarae mentioned Narkissus, I thought “why did the name sound familiar, where have I heard it before?”. And now I believe I know why...

* + Zachary (thinking): Narkissus, is the name if a Boeotian hunter from the early AD’s, who is known for being so beautiful, but with beauty came his narcissism...

* + Zachary (eye rolling): He had broken do many hearts with pleasure and one day, one of his admirers committed suicide and out of bitterness, he asked Nemesis to punish Narkissus...

* + Zachary (covering his face): Narkissus’ punishment was, the moment he looked at his own reflection, he fell in love with it and wouldn’t leave its sight and he ended up dying the first time from starvation...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): The point is, we won’t get anything from him, as he is too glued into his own image...

* Send the rod to Maverick (Killer attribute: Killer does fishing)

* + Maverick (shocked; holding ripped boxers): What happened to all my plain boxers?!

* + Maverick (angry): I swear when I get my hands on that cat!

* + Zachary (blushing): Rick, is everything okay here?

* + Maverick (pissed): Absolutely NOT! First, that cat ruined the only pair of trousers I brought, and now she ripped off all my 'Walter Keith' underwear and I have to walk around the island with a bunch of hot dryads laughing at the heart-printed boxers April had gotten me!

* + Zachary (awkward grin): Hey, man! It’s not a big deal... I mean you always just... cover it up with your jacket? Anyway, did you find anything on the fishing rod?

* + Maverick (eye rolling): I can confirm the blood on the rod belongs to the victim, but unfortunately I didn’t find anything that would lead us to the killer...

* + Maverick (crossing his arms): Except of maybe the fact the killer goes fishing, this is what the rod’s for after all...

* + Zachary (serious): Thank you Rick, Mia lets write that on our profile!

* Autopsy victim’s body (Killer attribute: Killer knows gardening)

* + Zachary (concerned): Hasuro, is everything alright with you?

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): Yes, why are you asking?

* + Zachary (thinking): It’s just, since the start of the voyage, you don’t seem like your typical cheerful self. It’s like there’s something in your mind...

* + Hasuro (sad): 'sigh' It’s about Joe....

* + Hasuro (covering his face): We haven’t seen each other for nearly two months and now with this whole Orion thing and that we may pass by Xerda at one time, I’m afraid of seeing him again...

* + Zachary (curious): Why? I thought you guys are in love?

* + Hasuro (holding his head): I do love him, but I don’t think he loves me the same. If he did, then why would he chose to stay in Xerda than live in Graecita with me? What if he doesn’t love me anymore?

* + Hasuro (covering his face): I don’t think you guys are interested in hearing me nag about my feelings, so I’ll just give you the autopsy results...

* + Hasuro (thinking): I looked at the victim’s body, and it appears that she was most likely stabbed my the sword. I also found soil on the wound...

* + Zachary (confused): Soil? Are you sure that’s from the killer? I mean we found her body next to a tree and Miranda herself is technically a plant!

* + Hasuro (serious): I’m aware of that, but the sample I got wasn’t just dirt, but a mixture of difference things like rotten fruits and animal manure, so it isn’t natural soil. So whoever is the killer must like gardening!

* + Zachary (glad): Okay, thank you Hasuro! Mia, lets make a note on that!

Later.... YOU ARE NOT MIA

* + Zachary (thinking): So far we know two things about the killer. We know that they enjoy fishing and gardening...

* + Mia (curious): Didn’t Rubarae mention fishing as her hobby? She’s also a dryad, so gardening must be a natural skill if hers...

* + Zachary (serious): Good call! She also said that the dryads tried to convince Narkissus to garden with them, so we can assume it’s a skill of his. Natalie also said *helped* plant things around the lake, you think that may be a hint she gardens too?

* + Mia (thinking): I believe so, plus she went fishing right after being done talking with u-

Suddenly Mia notices a blindfolded woman dragging a net full with fish and her appearance reminded her of something she hoped never to see again....

* + Nemesis (dragging a net): Seems like I got enough fish to last me a year...

Back to Mia and Zachary...

* + Zachary (thinking): Yeah... But I don’t believe her type of fishing is similar to u-

* + Zachary (curious): Mia, are you even listening?

* + Mia (pissed): Galinda...

* + Zachary (confused): Who’s.... Galinda?

But Mia didn’t answer him and immediately rushed to chase Galinda into her hut...

## Chapter 2

* + Zachary (thinking): So far we know two things about the killer. We know that they enjoy fishing and gardening...

* + Mia (curious): Didn’t Rubarae mention fishing as her hobby? She’s also a dryad, so gardening must be a natural skill if hers...

* + Zachary (serious): Good call! She also said that the dryads tried to convince Narkissus to garden with them, so we can assume it’s a skill of his. Natalie also said *helped* plant things around the lake, you think that may be a hint she gardens too?

* + Mia (thinking): I believe so, plus she went fishing right after being done talking with u-

Suddenly Mia notices a blindfolded woman dragging a net full with fish and her appearance reminded her of something she hoped never to see again....

* + Nemesis (dragging a net): Seems like I got enough fish to last me a year...

Back to Mia and Zachary...

* + Zachary (thinking): Yeah... But I don’t believe her type of fishing is similar to u-

* + Zachary (curious): Mia, are you even listening?

* + Mia (pissed): Galinda...

* + Zachary (confused): Who’s.... Galinda?

But Mia didn’t answer him and immediately rushed to chase Galinda into her hut...

* + Zachary (concerned): Mia, where are you going?

* + Mia (pissed): I am going to go settle things down..

* Corner “Galinda” (1 star)

In the hut, the Galinda lookalike is cooking some eggs...

* + Nemesis (humming a tune; frying eggs): Hmhmhmhm...

* + Mia (furious): YOU! Stay where you are!

* + Nemesis (shocked): Ah!

* + Nemesis (furious): And who might you be and what makes you think you can trespass my home and tell me what to do! What are you doing here?!

* + Mia (angry): What are YOU doing here! You were supposed to be dead!

* + Nemesis (confused): Me? Dead?! Do you know what I am?

Soon, Zachary joined them...

* + Zachary (serious): Mia, what do you think you’re doing? We can’t just barge in someone’s home like tha-

He then sees the woman Mia was speaking with and his jaw dropped...

* + Zachary (shocked): H-how?! How did you end up here and how is your face just fine, I thought Kaleb burned it!

* + Mia (confused): Wait? You and Kaleb know Galinda?!

* + Zachary (confused): Galinda? I have no idea who she is. I thought this is Gisele...

* + Nemesis (laughing): Ahahahahahahaha!

* + Mia (triggered): What are you laughing at?!

* + Nemesis (wiping laughing tears): I’m laughing at you! I don’t know who either Galinda or Gisele is, but I can tell you my name is not similar to either these two!

* + Zachary (shocked): Holy shit! I think I know who you are! Mia, that’s Nemesis!

* + Mia (angry): Well, I can definitely call her my nemesis! That bitch is the reason why my father, my boyfriend and the majority of my friends are dead!

* + Zachary (awkward grin): That’s not what I meant Mia... That’s Nemesis, the goddess of justice and revenge. It’s known that her form differs among those who see her, depending on the individuals they dislike the most!

* + Zachary (blushing): Lady Nemesis, we’re sorry for... um... our lack of manners, please forgive us...

* + Nemesis (crossing her arms): I usually am not merciful, but I can let that slide. Just tell me what are you doing here? You seem to be far from your homes...

* + Zachary (thinking): My friend and I are here on a quest, but we ended up getting ourselves in a dryad’s murder and we’re helping the forest dwellers by solving her murder...

* + Nemesis (thinking): Was that dryad stabbed?

* + Zachary (shocked): Yes! Did you witness the murder?

* + Nemesis (eye rolling): Gods no! I was busy getting supplies for myself, I’m just asking because I saw a bloody sword stuck on the ground while I was at the bay!

* + Zachary (glad): Mia, that must be the murder weapon! Thank you Lady Nemesis!

* + Nemesis (crossing her arms): Glad I was helpful, now if you mind, please leave my hut...

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Zachary, I’m not sure if we can incriminate a goddess. But I did see Galinda dragging a net of fish in her way to the hut...

* + Zachary (sympathetic): Mia, I don’t know what that Galinda woman made you go through, hut you do realize Nemesis is not her?

* + Mia (pissed): I know, it’s just hard to separate the two when they look so much alike! Ugh...

* + Zachary (covering his face): I think the sooner we get out of here the better, let’s just go to the bay..

* Investigate the bay (Pre-request: Corner “Galinda”)

YOU ARE NOT MIA

* + Zachary (shocked): That must be the sword Nemesis was talking about! It’s covered with blood! Quick, lets take it to Rick!

* + Zachary (curious): We know the killer was there, did you find anything else that could lead us to other suspects?

* + Zachary (smirking): Look what we’ve got here. That’s one huge gem, Marionette would love that, maybe I should grab it as a souvenir-

* + Ekho (shocked): Souvenir!

* + Zachary (startled): Ah!

* + Ekho (startled): Ah!

* + Zachary (blushing): Who are you?

* + Ekho: Who are you?

* + Zachary (impatient): Hey! Stop repeating what I say!

* + Ekho: Stop repeating what I say!

* + Zachary (pissed): God... This girl is really getting on my nerve-

* + Zachary (shocked): Wait! I think I know who she is!

* + Ekho: Who she is!

* + Zachary (covering his face): This is going to be difficult...

* Try to talk with Ekho (1 star; Investigate the bay)

* + Zachary (warm smile): Hey... My name is Zachary. You must be Ekho, right?

* + Ekho (smiling): Right!

* + Zachary (curious): Is there anything you want from us?

* + Ekho (pointing at the gem): You want from us.

* + Zachary (shocked): Oh! Is that yours? You want the gem?

* + Ekho (nodding): Gem...

* + Zachary (awkward grin): Sorry, I didn’t mean to steal it. Here you can take it!

* + Ekho (holding the gem; relieved): It...

* + Zachary (blushing): I know you’re not really a talker, but you have heard about the murder?

* + Ekho (confused): Murder?

* + Zachary (scratching): Yes, a dryad was killed today. Her name is Miranda...

* + Ekho (shocked): MIRANDA!

* + Zachary (shocked): Do you know her?

* + Ekho (crying): Her....

Ekho then runs away...

* + Zachary (concerned): Ekho, WAIT!

* + Zachary (covering his face): As I thought, we got nothing from this... Lets get back to the investigation...

* Send the sword to Maverick (Killer attribute: Killer uses eggs)

* + Maverick (posing with sword): Hey! How do you think I look?

* + Zachary (smirking): You look fierce, but-

* + Zachary (shocked): Hey! Did you wash off the blood from the sword?! Maverick, this was supposed to be evidence?

* + Maverick (innocent smirk): Hey, Chill....I already got what I needed from it before polishing it...

* + Maverick (grinning): The blood on the sword... It was the victim’s, but I’ve also found other things on it... Like egg white...

* + Zachary (glad): Egg white? So the killer eats eggs! That’s great, we have another clue to catch them...

* + Maverick (smirking): Even better, I think I can help you uncover the killer’s identity...

* + Maverick (thinking): The sword, is obviously, a greek sword, however Greece has different regions, each of which has different styles and cultures...

* + Maverick (smirking): Destiny taught me how to tell where a sword is made by the way it looks and I believe the sword came from a Greek region by the name of Boeotia...

* + Zachary (shocked): Boeotia? That’s the region Narkissus was born from?

* + Zachary (pissed): So that sword is his! Could he be Miranda’s killer? Lets go confront him!

* Grill Narkissus over Miranda’s murder (1 star; Pre-request: Send the sword to Maverick)

* + Nymphs (Nymph 1; in love): Isn’t he so beautiful?

* + Narkissus (in love): When I look at your eyes, I see a really kind soul...

* + Nymphs (Nymph 2; desperate): Yes, you are a really kind soul. Narkissus, please notice me!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Girls, would mind going away, we need to speak with Narkissus...

* + Nymphs (Nymph 3; angry): You can’t have him for yourself, Narkissus is mine!

* + Nymphs (Nymph 1; furious): Who said that?! He is MINE!

* + Nymphs (Nymph 2; angry): You’re both wrong, he belongs to me and only m-

* + Zachary (furious): This is an order. LEAVE!

* + Nymphs (together): Ok....

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Narkissus....

* + Narkissus (in love): You’re like a fine wine. The more of you I drink in, the better I feel...

* + Zachary (cracking his knuckles): I guess there is only one way to get his attention. Mia, move aside...

SLAP!

* + Narkissus (startled): Ah! Who hit me?!

* + Zachary (eye rolling): Glad to see we got your attention now...

* + Narkissus (angry): Who are you? Who do you think you are to dare harm my beautiful face!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Who we are is not important. We are here to investigate the murder of Miranda....

* + Narkissus (crossing his arms): Miranda? Who is that?

* + Zachary (serious): Maybe this will refresh your memory.

Zachary shows him the sword...

* + Narkissus (confused): Wait? Is that my sword?!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Yes and it used to be covered with blood, Miranda’s blood...

* + Narkissus (shocked): Look man, I know how this looks, but I swear that I never hurt that girl, whoever she is. I haven’t had my sword with me since forever!

* + Narkissus (blushing): The last time I saw it, I had gifted it to one of my fans who approached me while I was fishing and again while I was egg-hunting- Ameinus, I believe his name was and I never saw it again!

* + Zachary (pissed): We know about that story and that you gave the sword to Ameinus so that he could kill himself with it, how would we know you didn’t retrieve it afterwards?

* + Narkissus (shocked): I promise I am not a murderer, I didn’t want Ameinus to die, I jus-

Narkissus catches a glimpse of the water...

* + Narkissus (grinning): 'whistles' Hello, gorgeous!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Great, he’s distracted again! Mia, let’s go back to the investigation...

Later....

* + Zachary (covering his face): Mia, I’m sorry if I lost my cool with Narkissus... I just really can’t with people like him...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): At least we got something out of it. We know that he goes fishing and likes to eat eggs...

* + Zachary (thinking): And speaking of eggs, Rubarae had sent Miranda egg-huntingbegore her death and Nemesis was boiling some at her hut...

* + Zachary (serious): Mia, I think we should give the forest another look!

* Investigate the tree

* + Zachary (thinking): These must be the eggs Rubarae sent Miranda to fetch, the basket must be hers!

* + Zachary (glad): Lets search the basket and see if it contains anything that would help us!

* Search basket of eggs (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the tree)

* + Zachary (blushing): What’s that little fish doing in Miranda’s basket and why’s her name carved on it? Do you think its supposed to symbolize anything?

* + Zachary (serious): We have to send it to your friend Yoyo and see if there’s anything she could get from it!

* Send fish to Yoyo (Pre-request: Search basket of eggs)

* + Zachary (curious): Yoyo, is there anything you got from the fish?

* + Yoyo (disgusted): A lost appetite? Yeah, I definitely got that...

* + Yoyo (serious): But seriously speaking, I did get the message that came with the fish.

* + Yoyo (thinking): In history class back at Grimsdale, they taught us about Ancient Mazundans and we learned that they had ways to show others how much they dislike them...

* + Yoyo (crossing her arms): One of which is carving their enemies’ names on fish and sending it to them. But usually they don’t use REAL fish...

* + Zachary (serious): We don’t have any Maxundan suspects, but we know someone from the ocean who probably picked it up from them. Lets confront Natalie!

* Confront Natalie (1 star; Pre-request: Send fish to Yoyo)

* + Natalie (happy; holding a pearl necklace): Mr Zachary! I hope some pearls while I was fishing and I decided to transform them into a necklace for your mistress, what’s her name? H-A-M-I-D-A

* + Zachary (awkward grin): Her name is Mia and she isn’t... my girlfriend. Plus, she’s a little attached to her necklace. It’s from her best-friend...

* + Natalie (warm smile): That’s alright! I can turn it into a bracelet, and maybe I can make another one for her friend, H-A-M-I-D-A to wear too!

* + Zachary (covering his face): Natalie, I’m sure Mia appreciates your offer but we’re having serious matters here...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): We found that fish in Miranda’s basket and we believe its from you. Why would you send her a threat!

* + Natalie (sweating): ....

* + Natalie (shocked): I know how that looks! But I never meant to curse or hurt Miranda, I just wanted her to stop!

* + Zachary (confused): Stop doing what?

* + Natalie (furious): I wanted her to stop spreading lies about our father! You and I’s!

* + Zachary: Our father? You mean Poseidon?

* + Natalie (pissed): Exactly! Miranda just couldn’t stop bashing him! She would tell stories of horrible things he did!

* + Natalie (furious): But I know these things aren’t true! Daddy is an honorable man and he would never do the things Miranda had said! I know it! I refuse to believe I am the daughter of an evil man!

* + Zachary (covering his face): 'sigh' Natalie, I don’t have anything to say except that the truth hurts and the gods aren’t exactly saints to look up to. I just hope the threat is the only thing you sent Miranda...

Later....

* + Zachary (thinking): So far, except for Natalie, no one seems to have a personal vendetta on Miranda...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): And it seems like the killer is between Narkissus and Rubarae as they are the only one who fit all attributes but which one could it b-

* + Nymphs (shocked): Twiggy, what happened to you?!

* + Satyrs (shocked): Are you okay?

* + Twiggy (injured): Gi-gia-

* + Twiggy (fainting): ....

* + Nymphs (panicking): TWIGGY!

## Chapter 3

* + Zachary (thinking): So far, except for Natalie, no one seems to have a personal vendetta on Miranda...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): And it seems like the killer is between Narkissus and Rubarae as they are the only one who fit all attributes but which one could it b-

* + Nymphs (shocked): Twiggy, what happened to you?!

* + Satyrs (shocked): Are you okay?

* + Twiggy (injured): Gi-gia-

* + Twiggy (fainting): ....

* + Nymphs (panicking): TWIGGY!

* + Rubarae (pissed): What’s all the noise abou-

* + Rubarae (shocked): Holy shit!

* + Rubarae (nervous): Ok, girls stay back. Boys, please help pick her up and take her to the willow tree to be taken care of!

* + Zachary (shocked): Is there anything we could do?

* + Rubarae (serious): No. You focus on finding Miranda’s killer, me and the other creatures will be on Twiggy’s aid!

* + Zachary (serious): Mia, you heard what she said! Why don’t we look around the lake again?

* Investigate fishing board

* + Zachary (thinking): I’ve that scroll before, it has the stamp of Olympus on it. It appears to be from Hera and addressed To Nemesis... Do you think we should read it, or will we get punished for our nosines-

* + Zachary (shocked): Wait, look! She’s talking about Miranda! It says she is guilty of committing hubris!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Hubris means showing arrogance toward the gods, but this is not important at the moment. What’s important is that Nemesis was supposed to punish Miranda, making her a top suspect in our investigation...

* Confront Nemesis (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate fishing board)

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): Lady Nemesis, when we informed about the murder, I believe we failed to mention the victim’s name. Does Miranda ring a bell to you?

* + Nemesis (crossing her arms): Oh... So that weed is dead.. I suppose my job here is over, she won’t be needing any more warning. I wish her a safe road to Asophet..

* + Zachary (confused): You mean you haven’t cursed her?

* + Nemesis (pissed): I didn’t, but believe me at that point she was asking for it!

* + Nemesis (eye rolling): I could give her the benefit of a doubt with Poseidon as many Ancient Greek heroes disrespected him and that didn’t stop them from going to Elysium as his influence in Olympus wasn’t strong...

* + Nemesis (pissed): But then she went on and befriended that blabbering oread and started blaspheming Hera as well, who didn’t react well with the hubris and she sent me a letter to put an end to it!

* + Nemesis (crossing her arms): I didn’t want to punish Miranda because I knew she had reasons for her hatred, but she’s not making it easy for herself. She was also guilty of murdering her own tribe leader about a decade ago...

* + Zachary (shocked): Miranda killed Simonetta?! Kaleb told me Simonetta was murdered, but he never revealed to me that it was Miranda who pulled the trigger!

* + Zachary (blushing): There is no way Rubarae could have forgiven her over that, we must speak to her...

* + Zachary (sympathetic): And you’re right... Nemesis mentioned that Miranda and Ekho were friends, so we must go find her and give her some questions...

* Question Rubarae on her mother’s murder (1 star; Pre-request: Confront Nemesis)

* + Zachary (curious): Rubarae, how is the dryad doing?

* + Rubarae (wiping sweat): She’ll make it. The recovery may be slow, but she’ll live which is what matters. A few more centimeters and the arrow would’ve touched her heart!

* + Zachary (thinking): That’s great. But the reason why we wished to speak with you is because of your mother...

* + Rubarae (crossing her arms): My mother? She’s been dead for 7 years, what do you want from her?

* + Zachary (sympathetic): We’ve just come from speaking with Nemesis and through her, we learned that Miranda was the one who killed her...

* + Rubarae (covering her face): *sigh* So Alex and Kaleb never told you guys...

* + Rubarae (pissed): You may think I have a vendetta on Miranda over what she did, but I do not. I know why she did it, I understand it and I think she did the right thing!

* + Rubarae (angry): My mother was a traitor! She gave herself up to the Duchess, allowing her to capture the whole tribe! And when that blue guy discovered what the Duchess was planning, my mother let them use her as bait to force me into killing him! She made me betray my tribe too!

* + Rubarae (furious): And to make it worse, when they doubled-down on her and she learned what I did, she threatened to banish me once we were all free, when everything that happened was her fault! I’m glad Miranda killed her!

* + Zachary (serious): We hope what you’re saying is true because if we learned that you had a secret grudge on the victim and decided to kill her, I’m sure your tribe won’t be forgiving this time!

* Comfort Ekho (1 star; Pre-request: Confront Nemesis)

At the bay...

* + Zachary (sympathetic): Ekho! We found you....

* + Ekho (sad): You...

Zachary spots a branch on the sand and grabs it...

* + Zachary (warm smile; holding a branch): Look Ekho... We only have a few questions for you and that’s all... If there’s anything you want to say, take this branch and write it on the sand...

* + Ekho: On the sand?

* + Zachary: Yes, good girl....

* + Zachary (thinking): We told you about what happened to Miranda...

* + Ekho (sad): Miranda...

* + Zachary (sympathetic): Were the two of you... friends?

Ekho write “Yes” on the sand...

* + Zachary: How did... You two know each other...

On the sand, Ekho explains how the other dryads were messing with her over her curse but Miranda stood up for her and the two of them became friends onwards...

* + Zachary: You must he really sad over what happened...

* + Ekho (sad): Happened....

* + Zachary (curious): Do you know anyone who would want to hurt Miranda...

* + Ekho (shakes her head): Hurt Miranda..

* + Zachary (sympathetic): Thank you for taking your time to interact with us. We promise you we will find out who killed Miranda...

* + Ekho (hopeful): Miranda...

Later...

* + Zachary (covering her face): It seems to me while Miranda wasn’t a bad person, that didn’t make her unproblematic. She seemed to have gotten herself in so much trouble...

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): First we know that she’s guilty of hubris and Nemesis tried to warn her to stop blaspheming the gods or else she’d have to punish her...

* + Zachary (curious): We also know that she killed Simonetta over betraying the tribe. Rubarae claims she had forgiven Miranda, but can we believe her?

* + Zachary (serious): We still need more evidence to catch the killer! Since we are at the bay, why don’t we inspect it again?

* Investigate the coast

* + Zachary (shocked): Mia, look! There’s some fishing supplies over here!

* + Zachary (serious): Let’s rummage through them and see what we could find!

* Search fishing supplies (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the coast)

* + Zachary (serious): This shell seems to be covered with blood! Let’s send it to Hasuro and see what he can find!

* Send the shell to Hasuro (Killer attribute: Killer wears seashells; Killer attribute: Killer wears narcissus flower)

* + Hasuro (sewing): Ow...

* + Zachary (curious): Hasuro... What are you doing?

* + Hasuro (sucking on his thumb): Nothing, I’m just sewing back Maverick’s trousers like he asked me to...

* + Zachary (chuckling): Are you meaning to tell me Maverick is walking around the ship with his pretty boxers completely exposed. Ha ha.. I have to say the guy’s got some balls-

* + Maverick (shivering): Hasuro are you done? I’m feeling cold...

* + Zachary (startled): Ah! Maverick, are you... Are you seriously that embarrassed by your boxers you were walking around the ship fucking nude?!

* + Maverick (putting his arms behind his head): Um.. Yeah? It’s not like I have anything to be insecure about.

* + Zachary (covering his face): You guys have seriously odd logic... Did you analyze the shell, Hasuro?

* + Hasuro (sewing): Yeah.. First I can tell you that the killer is probably wearing shells right now, but I also found something on the blood...

* + Hasuro (glad): And it was pollen, pollen from the narcissus flower. So we know the killer is wearing one as well!

* + Hasuro (innocent smirk): Anyway Rick, I’m done with your pants, you cover up again... If you want, hehe...

* + Maverick (happy): Finally, give them to me!

* + Zachary (serious): So the killer wears shells and flowers! Thank you Hasuro!

Later....

* + Zachary (glad): Mia, I think that’s it! We have all the evidence we need to find our killer! Let’s go!

* Arrest the killer (Killer arrested: Narkissus)

* + Narkissus (in love): If I were a cat, I’d spend all nine of my lives with yo-

Before Narkissus could complete his pick-up line to his reflection, Zachary pulls him away by the hair...

* + Narkissus (holding his head): Ow... Can’t you find other ways to get my attention? Why do you have to be so violent?

* + Zachary (furious): Because we know that you’re the one who killed Miranda, Narkissus!

* + Narkissus (crossing his arms): This again? I told you I didn’t even know the girl!

* + Zachary (angry): Then what about the fishing rod we found next to her body?

* + Narkissus (eye rolling): For gods’ sake! The murder too place among forest dwellers, they know all type of survival skills! This could have been anyone’s!

* + Zachary (serious): Maybe, but we found pollen grains from your flower on the fishing kit we found near the coast!

* + Narkissus (showing off): Please... The nymphs here are OBSESSED with me! Many of them are wearing narcissus flowers as a sign of affection toward me...

* + Zachary (pissed): Yes, but the only nymph wearing seashells like you is a water nymph who can’t move from land. We know it’s you Narkissus, be honest!

* + Narkissus (pulling his hair): Ok fine, I killed that harlot, but you don’t understand! I was saving myself from her spell!

* + Zachary (confused): What spell are you speaking about?

* + Narkissus (fantasizing): Look, I have never EVER felt affection for anyone but myself, that was until I saw Miranda....

* + Narkissus (in love): I was admiring myself as always on the water and next to some non-important oread, I saw Miranda dipping her pretty feet in the water and it was love in first sight...

* + Narkissus (happy): Her raven hair, her green eyes... She was a spitting image of myself and I wanted her... I knew she would be the one to break my curse! The one Nemesis had casted on me!

* + Narkissus (thinking): For the first time I was able to take my eyes away from my reflection... Miranda was all that was in my mind... But that wasn’t enough, I had to have her but wherever I went nymphs followed me everywhere, so I had to wait until we were both alone and I finally got the opportunity to speak with her...

* + Narkissus (shocked): But when I told her how I felt, she laughed at me! She told me she’d rather sleep with one of the fat council satyrs than a “narcissistic” hunter like me!

* + Narkissus (tearful): Her words pierced my heart, it hurt me so badly I went back to the lake to look at my reflection and fall in love with myself again but I couldn’t... Miranda... She was all that I was thinking about...

* + Narkissus (serious): But then... I spotted a sword next to me... The sword I had given Ameinus and I realized what I had to do... Part of my punishment for what I did to him, was for me to kill the woman I love...

* + Narkissus (pissed): When I saw Miranda, I begged her to fall in love with me! I tried kissing her to make her fall to my arms, but she resisted! I didn’t want to do it, but she left me no choice! I wanted to be free!

* + Zachary (serious): And yet here you are... Still glued to your image, is that what you call freedom? Haven’t you thought Miranda may be a test? To see if you deserve to break free from your curse? And instead of respecting her decision you killed her and became a prisoner yet again!

Narkissus was going to respond but was distracted by his reflection again...

* + Narkissus (smug): Hi-

* + Zachary (pissed): Oh no, you won’t...

Zachary pulls him by his hair again and drags him to the forest council before Rubarae, her council and the whole forest...

* + Narkissus (holding his head): Ow... Where did you take me?

* + Zachary (serious): Rubarae, you have before you, Miranda’s killer. Narkissus had confessed to her murder!

* + Rubarae (stern): Narkissus, what made you kill Miranda?

* + Narkissus (shocked): It’s not what I look! I didn’t murder Miranda! It was self-defense! The witch had put me under her spell!

* + Zachary (eye rolling): In other words, he asked her out. She turned him down. He killed her for bruising his ego.

* + Rubarae (thinking): Any comments?

* + Satyr politician (pissed): I call for an eye for an eye! He killed that poor girl for silly reasons, his punishment should be death!

* + Satyrs (cheering): KILL HIM!!!

* + Nymph politician (sympathetic): I think death is too harsh... I mean... Look at him.. He could never hurt a fly!

* + Nymphs (begging): YES!! Let him live! Don’t kill my husband!!!

* + Rubarae (crossing her arms): It seems like we’ve got 50/50 on that one, what should we d-

Rubarae notices Ekho alone....

* + Rubarae: Ekho.... Come over here...

* + Ekho (nervous): Over here?

* + Rubarae: Who haven’t said your vote...

* + Ekho (sad): Vote...

* + Rubarae (serious): Do you think Narkissus should live or die?

Ekho was frustrated. She was in love with Narkissus, but Miranda was her friend, whom she also was developing feelings for and did not want her murder to go unpunished. Ekho thought about it and made up her decision...

* + Ekho (bitter): DIE!!

* + Rubarae (curious): You want us to kill him?

* + Ekho (serious; nodding): Kill him...

Rubarae did not need to be told twice...

* + Rubarae (blowing fire): RAWRRR!!!

* + Narkissus (burning; panicking): AH!!!! Someone help me!!!

* + Nymphs (panicking): NARKISSUS!!!

Narkissus dies....

* + Satyrs (cheering): HURRAY!

* + Nymphs (crying): NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

* + Zachary (blushing): That was one helluva trial! Mia, I think we should go back to the ship before an uproar starts...

## The Hunter For Orion (1/6)

* + Zachary (serious): Since we are done with finding Miranda’s killer, this gives us the freedom to do what we came here for: Finding Artemis.

* + Zachary (thinking): You remember that injured dryad we saw back at the lake? I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure there were arrows piercing her chest and leg..

* + Zachary (serious): I have a feeling I know who attacked her, but we have to talk with her to be sure!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Are you suggesting that Orion is attacking the nymphs as well?! That’s horrible! We need to warn them!

* + Zachary (curious): We’re not sure, beside the dryad would probably do that once she has woken up. Anyway, do you want anything from us?

* + Ophelia (eye rolling): Yes, It’s Mary. She wants to speak with Mia, she says it’s urgent...

* + Zachary (serious): Alright Mia, you go see what Captain Read wants. I’ll wait for you when you’re ready to speak with Twiggy!

* See what’s bothering Mary (1 star)

* + Ophelia (curious): Captain Read, I’ve brought Mia with me. Is something wrong?

* + Mary (serious): Very! I believe someone have intruded our ship!

Mia and Ophelia exchange looks

* + Ophelia (confused): An intruder? How?! What makes you believe that someone else got in the ship?

* + Mary (crossing her arms): For instance, I found that in the lower deck!

Mary pulls out a box of viagra...

* + Ophelia (shocked): ...

* + Mary (confused): I don’t know what is that, but I’ve asked all the men if it belongs to them and they denied it. I haven’t asked Ip if it’s hers, but the other yellow kid assured me that it isn’t when I suggested asking her...

* + Ophelia (laughing): Ahahahahahah!

* + Mary (crossing her arms): What’s funny with that?

* + Ophelia (holding her laughter): Captain... Of course none of the men will admit it’s theirs. You see... That box.. these are pills for men that are... short in the south area to give them more luck in the bedroom...

* + Ophelia (disgusting): There’s medicine for that? If only these existed at my time, I would’ve told Anne to spike her husband’s drink before he took us to his cabin!

* + Ophelia: So you see... It’s probably one of the boys’, whoever he is just won’t admit it...

* + Mary (crossing her arms): Ophelia, luv. I’ve been pirating for many years, I know when someone is lying or not. None of the boys seem like they’re lying...

* + Mary (serious): Someone broke in the ship, I now it! And I want you two to see who it is because I have a feeling they may come in the way of your quest!

* + Ophelia (serious): If you say so. Mia, lets go check the bay. However broke in the ship must have gotten out by now or else we would’ve found them. Lets go!

* Investigate the bay (Pre-request: See what’s bothering Mary)

* + Ophelia (curious): Mia, is that phone yours? No, then whose is it?

* + Ophelia (shocked): You have no idea?! Do you think Mary is right then? Someone had broken in our ship?!

* + Ophelia (blushing): Because there is no way the woodland spirits could get their hands on a Pearphone 11. We have to unlock it and see who it belongs to...

* Unlock Pearphone (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the bay)

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): I was hoping the person would put a selfie as their home screen, but all what we know about their identity is that they’re an Eva El Reina stan...

* + Ophelia (serious): Lets send the phone to Maverick so he can find out the person’s identity!

* Send the phone to Maverick (Pre-request: Unlock Pearphone)

* + Ophelia (serious): Rick, did you find out who the phone belongs to?

* + Maverick (crossing her arms): I don’t remember the girl’s name, but I believe you two will recognize her face. Here, I’ll show a video she recently filmed in her camera roll...

Start of footage....

* + Madelina (scratching her hair): Hmm.. Yeah... I think I look cute in that angle....

* + Madelina (smiling): Hello Maddie... It’s the morning in where I am, and I’m feeling a little cold...

* + Madelina (sad): I’m sending this message because my friends and I had evacuated an island and are in need for someone to rescue us...

* + Madelina (thinking): We are currently residing at... Um.... Chet, do you or Chase know where we at right now?

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; blushing): N-no... I-I don’t kno-

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; furious): Wait?! Are you telling us that you made us come with you in a ship that you had no idea where it was going? Are you serious?!

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Oh please! I have no time for this, Chase. Why did you come with me if you will do nothing but nag and nag all the time!

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): Don’t ask me that question! I was just following Chet that’s all!

* + Madelina (mocking): Maybe if you stopped following Chet everywhere like a child, then you wouldn’t end up in this situation!

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; giggling): Hehe...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; pissed): What are you giggling at?! You’re supposed to be on my side, Chet!

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; blushing): Sorry...

* + Madelina (pissed): Ugh... There’s no point in filming a video, lets go find somewhere with service so I can call my dad to pick us up...

End of footage...

* + Ophelia (shocked): MADELINA?! But how did she... How did she end up here?!

* + Ophelia (blushing): Do you think they were in the ship this whole time?! What were they even doing here?!

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Whatever their motives are, we can’t leave them behind. We have to tell the others so we could find them and them them back to Graecita...

* Pay Twiggy a visit (1 star)

* + Zachary (curious): Rubarae, how’s Twiggy?

* + Rubarae (happy): She’s doing good! In fact, she just gained back her consciousness!

* + Zachary (curious): Would you mind if we speak with her?

* + Rubarae (smiling): Of course not. Twiggy, you have some guests!

* + Twiggy (happy): That’s great! Let them i-

* + Twiggy (shocked): Huh? Who are you?! I don’t think I’ve met you before!

* + Zachary (awkward grin): That’s because we didn’t... I hope you don’t mind that.. But we came because we have some questions for you...

* + Twiggy (awkward grin): Cool... Ask me whatever you want and I’ll see if I could answer...

* + Zachary (serious): We want to know what you were doing away from your tribe and who attacked you?!

* + Twiggy (innocent smirk): Well... I was in the forest and I saw a beautiful silver stag and I decided to chase it for fun...

* + Twiggy (blushing): I wanted to ride its back, so when I got close, I jumped and I felt something sharp on on my ankle...

* + Twiggy (shocked): I feel and looked down, there was an arrow on my foot! I was so scared, I looked behind me and saw a man...

* + Twiggy (innocent smirk): The man was so tall and dreamy, at a moment I forgot about my ankle and stared at him...

* + Twiggy (shocked): But then I looked at his eyes, and I saw evil in them! He wanted to kill me! I was so afraid I fought back the pain on my leg and ran away...

* + Twiggy (holding her head): He shot me again, but I didn’t give up and kept running until I got back home. I’m so lucky I made it out alive!

* + Zachary (shocked): Mia, that description... That must’ve been Orion!

* + Nymphs (shocked): Orion? The giant! Artemis’ archenemy?!

* + Rubarae (shocked): I thought he only targeted Xerdans and Artemis’ huntresses!

* + Zachary (crossing his arms): This is unfortunately untrue. Orion targets all kind of female warriors. In fact, they don’t even have to warriors just strong, independent women in general.

* + Nymphs (terrified): What are we going to do?! He’s going to kill us!

* + Rubarae (pissed): To hell he will! I won’t let that bastard hurt any one of us!

* + Zachary (serious): As Rubarae was saying. We have come here to warn Artemis about Orion so she and her huntresses will come to battle with the Xerdans against him!

* + Zachary (covering his face): We just need to find a way to look for her before anyone else is hurt. But we’re not sure if she’s even here...

* + Rubarae (smiling): She is and that silver stag Twiggy was talking about is proof!

* + Rubarae (serious): Artemis is known for having silver stags to move her chariot and that stag Twiggy found in the woods must be hers, if you managed to find him then he may guide you to the goddess!

* + Zachary (glad): Thank you for the tip, Rubarae! Mia, lets go find that stag!

* Investigate the forest (Pre-request: Pay Twiggy a visit)

* + Zachary (shocked): Mia, look at the branches on that tree, some of them look golden!

* + Zachary (sympathetic): It must be the stag’s horns. The poor thing, he will be the subject of humiliation of his fellow male deers...

* + Zachary (grabbing the horns): Here let me try and free the-

When he managed to free the horns, he suddenly felt a magnetic force pulling him...

* + Zachary (startled): Ah!

* + Zachary (sweating): What’s going on? The horns... I feel like they’re taking me somewhere...

* + Zachary (serious): Wherever they’re taking us, lets follow them!

Zachary and Mia follow the horns to the lake and see the stag with Natalie...

* + Natalie (sympathetic): You poor deer... What happened to your horns?

* + Bambi (sad): ...

* + Natalie (warm smile): It’s okay, Bambi... They’ll grow back... You look majestic either way...

* + Bambi (happy): URPPP!!!

* + Zachary (happy): Mia, we found the stag!

* + Bambi (startled): Urp!

The stag notices Zachary holding his horns...

* + Bambi (pissed): Urp...

* + Zachary (sweating): Mia... He doesn’t look very happy with seeing us...

* + Bambi (furious): URPPP!!!

The stag charges at Zachary but Zachary dodges the attack...

* + Zachary (panicking): Fuck... What are we gonna do! He thinks we broke his horns!

* + Natalie (panicking): Let go of his horn!

* + Zachary (confused): How would that help! They’re broken, he’ll be mad at us still!

* + Natalie: TRUST ME!

* + Zachary (sweating): Ok...

Zachary lets go of the horns and they fly back to the stag’s head...

* + Stag (happy): URPPP!!!

* + Zachary (relieved): Phew... Thank you Natalie...

* + Natalie (blushing): You’re welcome...

* + Zachary (warm smile): Anyway, since he’s calm now... Hey, stag... would you mind if w-

* + Stag (furious): URPPP!

* + Zachary (sweating): This isn’t working, he doesn’t seem to like us Mia..

* + Natalie (calling): Bambi!

Natalie whistles at Bambi and he rushes to her...

* + Bambi (smiling): Urp...

* + Natalie (warm smile): Bambi... It’s okay, the humans... Aren’t here to hurt you... Look at them, do you look threatening?

* + Bambi (pissed): Urppp....

* + Natalie: I know that your mistress warned you not to trust humans, especially the males... But these two. They’re different, they just want your help to find Artemis that’s all...

* + Bambi (glaring): ....

* + Zachary (covering his face): This is hopeless, he doesn’t like us...

* + Natalie (smiling): Bambi, if I come with them, will you help them?

* + Bambi (happy): URPPP!!!

* + Natalie (happy): It’s settled then, I’m joining you and your friends!

* + Zachary (shocked): Woah woah woah! Easy here...

* + Zachary (blushing): Natalie, we appreciate your offer but are you forgetting something here?

* + Natalie (confused): What?

* + Zachary (awkward grin): You’re a naiad! You can’t leave water, unless there’s a river or a stream along the way, you can’t really help us...

* + Natalie (giggling): Oh that! This isn’t a problem. Look and learn...

Natalie whistles for any nymph around...

* + Natalie (calling): Blossom, Breeze, Clementine!

* + Nymphs (Blossom; curious): What is it Natalie?

* + Natalie (awkward grin): I need a bit of help here...

* + Nymphs (Breeze; happy): Say no more! Blossom, help me with the blanket. Clementine, bring out the dress!

Blossom and Breeze use the blanket to block Zachary and Mia from the view and Clementine stands behind it. Natalie then does a backflip, jumping right into the dress. When Blossom and Breeze took away the blanket. Natalie was now a dryad...

* + Natalie (smiling): How do I look, Clem?

* + Clementine (smiling): As stunning as ever!

* + Zachary (shocked): H-how- You were a naiad and now-

* + Natalie (awkward grin): It’s a long story...

* + Zachary (glad): I’ll ask you about it later, thank you for agreeing to help us...

* + Natalie (warm smile): The pleasure is mine.. Anyway what are we waiting for. Bambi, do you feel like going back to your mistress now?

* + Bambi (smiling): Urp...

* + Zachary (awkward grin): Actually, we’d prefer if you wait for us... We still need to call our friends..

* + Natalie (innocent smirk): It’s okay, I’ll be patient. How about you, Bambs?

* + Bambi (eye rolling): Urp...

YOU ARE NOT MIA. The crew all gathered at the deck...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; crossing his arms): Can someone tell me what the hell are we doing here?!

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; worried): Yes, did something bad happen?

* + Mia and Zachary (Mia; innocent smirk): Oh no! Nothing of that sort, we just gathered you all here because we finally found someone that’ll guide us to Artemis!

* + Mia and Zachary (Zachary; smiling): Natalie, you can come out!

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; smiling): Finally! Hello everyone, it’s really nice to meet you. Mr Zachary told me you needed a hand!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; smiling): Is that a deer!

* + Mia and Zachary (Zachary; smirking): Stag, but close. Anyway, aren’t you guys going to tell her something?

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; warm smile): Well... It’s really nice to meet you Natalie, and thank you for offering to help us...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; confused): Yeah, but I just want to know... What’s the beast for?

* + Natalie and Bambi (Bambi; pissed): Urp....

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; awkward grin): Bambi’s one of the stags that pull Artemis’ chariot, he’s here to help you and I’m coming too because... Well... He doesn’t really trust humans...

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; thinking): That’s cool and all, but before we go... Aren’t you guys forgetting someone?

* + Mia and Zachary (Mia; confused): Who? Mary’s staying behind to guard the ship.

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; serious): I know, I’m talking about Madelina and those two creeps she’s with!

* + Mia and Zachary (Mia; eye rolling): Oh.... 'her'...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; confused): Madelina?! What is she doing with us?

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; covering her face): I don’t know why she’s here either, but we have to find her before she does anything foolis-

Suddenly the crew hear a scream coming from the forest...

* + Ophelia (concerned): Did you hear that? Something’s happening at the forest, do you think someone is hurt?

* + Mia (serious): There’s one way to find out! Let’s follow the source!

Mia and Ophelia follow the screams and it leads them Madelina who was standing on top of the suitcase trying to reach for a satyr who stole her laurel crown and the boys she’s with standing their ground against the other satyrs...

* + Koda (smiling; holding a laurel crown): Hey, Max do you think Blossom would give me a kiss me if I gave her that crown?

* + Madelina (furious): Give me back my crown, you ugly baphomet! Chet, Chase, a little hand here?

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; pissed): We can’t be at two places in the same time! You, give us the food back!

* + Max and Lancelot (Max; eating the food): If you want it, come and get it!

* + Max and Lancelot (Lancelot; blushing): Guys... Maybe we should stop...

* + Koda (mocking): What? Are you going to tell your mommy on us, Lance?

* + Rubarae (stern): He wouldn’t need to, Koda, because I am already here!

* + Max, Koda and Lancelot (Lancelot; shocked): Mother, I didn’t want to take part of this I swea-

* + Rubarae (pissed): You three are in big trouble! Follow me!

After they left...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye-rolling): Great! Not only are we lost now, but they ate all our food! We’ll starve to death now!

* + Ophelia (serious): Not if we have anything to do with that!

* + Madelina (shocked): Wait, you’re Ophelia, right? What are you and your friend doing here?!

* + Mia (bitter): Weirdly enough, we have the same question FOR YOU! Come with us.

* Ask Madelina what is she doing here (1 star)

The crew all gathered at the dining room. Madelina and her two friends immediately devoured the food...

* + Madelina (angry; eating): ...

* + Ophelia (worried): Madelina... Maybe you should slow down a little.. You don’t want to cho-

* + Madelina (pissed): I am HANGRY! I don’t give a fuck about dining etiquette, I just want to fill my stomach...

* + Maverick: Ok... You don’y have to he aggressive about it...

* + Mary (grinning): So you are the intruder? For a second I was worried it was someone more... intimidating...

* + Mia (pissed): Ok, enough with the silence! What are you three doing here? Were you sent by someone to sabotage us!

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; blushing): Um...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): Don’t ask me anything about that. I was just looking out for my friend Chet, ok? He was simply followed that whore over there!

* + Madelina (pissed): Who are you calling a whore?!

* + Mia (angry): I asked you three a question! Is someone going to answer it or not?

* + Madelina (calming down): Ok fine... I will answer the question...

Madelina then starts opening up about Kaleb, how he kept Yvette’s body in a secret room, occasionally visiting to fuck her, accusing him of homicide and how she worries about Marionette...

* + Madelina (eye rolling; eating): Marinette Patrick? More like Marianne Dashwood! I hope she comes to her senses and dumps his lame ass before anything happens to her!

* + Zachary (covering his face): Oh Kaleb....

* + Mia (sympathetic): Zachary, are you feeling okay?

* + Zachary (holding his head): Y-yes... It’s just... That’s a lot to take in... I can’t believe he’d do this all these years...

* + Yoyo (sympathetic): Madelina, this... This must have been horrible to learn about, I can’t imagine being in your place...

* + Ophelia (sympathetic): What you did was really brave, I hope your friend makes it out as wel-

* + Mia (pissed): Are you two really believing that bullshit?! This is clearly just a sob story she made up to gain our sympathy!

* + Madelina (shocked): I’m telling you that truth! Kaleb Willoughby is a MURDERER!

* + Zachary (furious): HE ISN’T! It wasn’t him that killed Yvette, it was her sister, Ursule! He killed Ursule out of revenge! I know it, me and my friends were there when it happened!

* + Madelina (pissed): Ok, maybe he didn’t kill her, but can you excuse him treating her corpse as a sex doll?!

* + Zachary (covering his face): Unfortunately no...

* + Mia (eye rolling): Look Madelina, if you were planning to escape Graecita then I’m sorry to ruin your hopes, we are only here for a quest! We will be returning very soon as soon as we’re done with the mission!

* + Madelina (startled): Ah!

Madelina immediately hides behind Chase and Chet...

* + Madelina (terrified): I-If you come one step near me, I- I will have these two men beat you uo...

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; blushing): Uh-

* + Maverick (cracking his knuckles): That won’t be hard...

* + Mia (crossing her arms): You know guys? I have no time for this! Natalie’s waiting for us upstairs, we shouldn’t keep her waiting...

* + Madelina (confused): Where are you going?

* + Mia (serious): As I said earlier, we have come here for a quest. We’re leaving to find Artemis and her huntresses to fight against Orion!

* + Madelina (excited): You’re meeting a goddess?! That’s so cool! Can I come with you?

* + Mia (angry): AS IF! You’re staying here with Mary until we are done!

* + Madelina (begging): PLEASE! I can be a lot of help for you!

* + Mia (eye rolling): Oh really! Tell me what talent you have...

Madelina pulls out Holly the wand...

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; smiling): I can do magic!

* + Chet and Chase (Chet; blushing): Madelina, I-I don’t think it’s a good idea-

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; innocent smirk): Bullcrap! See me make that apple float!

Madelina waves her wand and says...

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; chanting): Wingardium Leviosa!

* + Madelina and Holly (Holly; protesting): ...

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; eye rolling): Not now Holly! Wingardium Leviosa!

And she succeeds in the spell but instead of making the apple float, she made everything except of the apple and herself levitate.

* + Hasuro (smiling): Look! I’m levitating!

* + Ophelia (horrified): Put us down! PUT US DOWN!!

* + Madelina (blushing): Opps... Reverso!

Everything goes back to place...

* + Madelina (awkward grin): Sorry...

* + Mia (pissed): Ugh... We’ve wasted enough time, lets go gu-

* + Mehitabel: Meow...

* + Maverick (pissed): Oh my god! Not that cat again!

Mehitabel notices Madelina and being reminded a lot of Hamida, she jumps into her arms and starts licking her face...

* + Madelina and Mehitabel (Madelina; smiling and being licked): Stop! You’re tickling me...

* + Mia (thinking): After thinking about it... Maybe you can come...

* + Madelina and Mehitabel (Madelina; happy): REALLY! That’s great! Thank you so much!

* + Mia (crossing her arms): You’re welcome. Just avoid doing anymore magic and I’m fine with you...

* + Mia (serious): Now lets go guys, Natalie and the stag are waiting!
