Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcqt4H4VlC
He looks back to two men carrying a large neon sign with the words, "King's Cafe". A little smile escapes, as he turned back to the building.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo0dQZ0ikj
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivDtWRpZ2k
"Welcome to Olive, Where Miracles Happen!", he remembered the words written on the welcome sign. He laughed a bit seeing that, as he never believed in miracles, or God, or anything really.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkjkU6B3O
Now that he finished sweeping the floor, he slowly gets bored and starts walking around. He went into the empty kitchen, the white tiles on the wall almost indistinguishable from the layers of dirt. The comfort rooms were no better either, and every stall had no toilet or sink.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlo91UNHLK
He had bought this building from a close friend who decided to move out of Olive due to reasons and took this opportunity to start a small business with the funds he received from his parents.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTafG7ovNND
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7RjvvbyKF
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUNleqRKk7
"Of course." He responded.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K3YYifb5W
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcx97pVQB3
"What is it, miss?" He asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZVgo6SZN
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegutOEeH27
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPorzwnJPh
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioV1UNW8w
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmmhHpewkt
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0fLKTTIFq
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985B14DIUw
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE7IvZWRFq
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9mZ5ftM2
To Finn Kingsley:812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewPbjZJu61
Welcome to Olive! You might only know about this town about the miracle thing, but listen—there’s more to this town than that. You may not believe in mysteries and myths or you might believe in them, it doesn’t matter. They’re all real in this town.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KAZ3nt6sY
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBye1OQf82
Do you know about the greek gods? Well, Mystery no. 1 is about the fading goddess of the Sun. Rumors say her name is Alectrona. That’s all you should know, the rest of it is too gruesome.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE26nyViBlq
Mystery no. 2 is about the Faeries of Grover Lake. Rumor has it that sacrificing a virgin in this lake can grant you any wish no matter how crazy.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncE72M0nRs
Mystery no. 3 is called the Portal to Olympus. Remember the first mystery right? Well, apparently there’s a place in Olive where you can accidentally be transported to Olympus at 12:00 n.n and at 12:00 m.m, by giving an offering to the greek gods.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqQsIRyhS
I think the other seven mysteries aren’t meant for newbies like you. But whether or not they’re real, you’ll have to be careful. Weird shit happens in Olive.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQhgYFqB2
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXwv14gBxJ
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdgZrKNkc
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAs4yLWbJi
“Sir, we’re done moving the tables, chairs, and appliances in. How do you want us to arrange them?” A voice on the other side of the door said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIStBG2ONY
“Oh, coming.” He replied.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmrErfvGrT
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0QSTfVuQ9
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
