Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ssqyrj6a1
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ixKJ1J9W
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsNJ1FW7Mf
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJHLOPgKIw
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWnm00Vibp
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qStAFvl22
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0S6LmkIie
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV5LYpstfv
"Of course." He responded.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKLgxx3Top
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUpJdEPP9R
"What is it, miss?" He asked.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXkg5kMOx
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQCdRVDdU
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZJfn7ePwP
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq615bDJJUV
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWHb0aMGx0
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh2DVaFY0t
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZGBMCFlVY
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStERSChyUU
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV22yedPy1o
To Finn Kingsley:784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EoZy8S5a5
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TYJHDgaL4
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7UAuWXumU
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgt4nhElrz
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr6a2vhMrG
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMv1wcdph4
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4h0DJUEN8
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchTqAocq10
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPrsBiFK7
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2TJMcIppa
“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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLjsvARroy
“Oh, coming.” He replied.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDEHT3YkJ
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiEOiMfzDa
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
