Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXUx8zCfTF
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSMRXfFbAr
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7DuDVCiEK
"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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxmO046GY3
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHJPL9sTnJ
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDzkbJHf8B
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKE4uD5vww
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVALSsf0x
"Of course." He responded.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSVnegL6Q1
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA32VqPCR0y
"What is it, miss?" He asked.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3HmctuGI
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q3nz6P9V9
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLkGgdBWkg
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRElnlZfhA
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQVPsTZzzf
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSeSZJPObW
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Cbhi0aq7
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQNcl8McFD
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG4LGVDLq8
To Finn Kingsley:750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ZHM3Nuho
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg89HMh87w
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASTtCRUHo
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fdNIwTKO
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9JunAuxs
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArUX5Ahow
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFuSqTcKye
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGOgmJPnt
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgkTqultQt
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmAjuPB8fn
“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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7QydErWhq
“Oh, coming.” He replied.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgs0HiZH2
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rdXGFEsCG
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
