Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksZE4lvo0u
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMOMV5IsZF
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbzwxFRTWU
"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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBY0Sdqudn
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3giCVXziFL
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZR7ofaWBg
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9ZK17NQq
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwadM4aeLA
"Of course." He responded.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITx3xbtdn
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vneVPtFkO
"What is it, miss?" He asked.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7KaGJ3Coy
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvCAIe36l9
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl2DMFCqXN
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBjYwzZLoP
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf3zMN6AmS
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdNvxD5gg
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqSRi0NIlj
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAz7mkq19n
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yv5WBeOtC
To Finn Kingsley:681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1EAdyQS8J
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcGnHIFGQ7
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRZuxZQHYm
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDcfgPbw9I
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNRHxi0Umx
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcV56FBmxF
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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrJJIFUJBg
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHSDZ0twQ1
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7AFbQd2rT
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eoO1mya3f
“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.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE8WsNaAb3
“Oh, coming.” He replied.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXDhtUytp
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.681Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3JEXAtR8
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
