Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22WWZAjPiJ
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCNpsqWg2G
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WxsdSUwB6
"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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ378EEOVBEV
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mFX2bTu2J
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrJ7JA8ZTH
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwG6CLVHwE
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7dPhAnsp8
"Of course." He responded.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Wum1VTvl
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj9O3vc1ZF
"What is it, miss?" He asked.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQueUGEim3
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLeMarUOv
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYGrbTq3Q
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobXJEaUtP
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpgS6B9dq8
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrrmfCveCx
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xFiO6eDCR
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3i57EIVSd
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEOEANDLhV
To Finn Kingsley:829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPJUuPRRRE
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOVwyqYbeX
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCiEKv9CUM
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJMqypLzqL
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI9rzcBiwA
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2z7iH8QFq
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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO5qIOnilp
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVwfkqluKC
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGb5F2O0Oa
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7oqpRMPRi
“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.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDlk6tq3Q
“Oh, coming.” He replied.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuHFPsP1zL
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM8FIpI8gF
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
