Finn Kingsley makes his way into the vacant building carrying his bag, with trucks of furniture and men behind him. 501Please respect copyright.PENANAf3VATPqRKX
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANA6qkU1bDpW7
He unlocked the doors for the movers to move in the furniture, opens the blinds, and starts sweeping the floor.501Please respect copyright.PENANATdyPbjL2vj
"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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAbbSnJYTsqh
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAUSyXH4yeRs
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANADT2FZv2XGL
"Mr. Kingsley, a word with you?" A voice behind him said.501Please respect copyright.PENANAKVzx8ZEvPa
It was the woman from the movers' company, who he believed has come to claim the pay check.501Please respect copyright.PENANAkD066tMjb8
"Of course." He responded.501Please respect copyright.PENANATSEPhLsYxV
They walked to the back room, and closed the door behind them.501Please respect copyright.PENANA7FJgRq7AHf
"What is it, miss?" He asked.501Please respect copyright.PENANA6oZWFL9UWK
"The boss tells me to tell you to be mindful of yourself and your surroundings. Olive may be where miracles happen--"501Please respect copyright.PENANA6XgfhxeByl
He let out a little laugh, and was quickly shut down by her glare.501Please respect copyright.PENANA1kRasu4pcD
"--but besides miracles there are mysteries, so please be careful."501Please respect copyright.PENANA3DWvxl7l1G
She hands him an envelope with his name on the back, and a wax seal on the front.501Please respect copyright.PENANAuAbmBtPCq4
"I will take my leave now." She was about to exit, when he stopped her.501Please respect copyright.PENANAFujjndG3Ft
"Wait, the pay check? Are you not going to ask for it?" He asked.501Please respect copyright.PENANA8z1AJHd3xi
"It must be paid directly to the boss or the boss's secretary. His office is at Hearth Street." She said and left.501Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Ay3S3VKV
Alone in the back room, he removes the wax seal and takes a letter out of the envelope.501Please respect copyright.PENANAyqTJfZXB9D
To Finn Kingsley:501Please respect copyright.PENANAPLoSBQT1zw
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAuCxK3acIF8
More about myths later. First, as a welcoming gift, 3 of the 10 mysteries of this town:501Please respect copyright.PENANAM5frfKsanU
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANA5cEkJEsi0d
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAj8YCIuWCOR
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAsUMfPauoi3
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.501Please respect copyright.PENANAXyHe5MguZO
Go to my office at Hearth Street if you’re gonna pay for the movers (required).501Please respect copyright.PENANA6UEtCfCb8K
I do not suggest learning the other seven mysteries, but go ahead at your own risk.
Signed,
Boss Grayson501Please respect copyright.PENANAFvdOSlFD1G
Finn folded the letter and put it I the envelope the moment someone knocked at the door.501Please respect copyright.PENANArUFdTtDx7G
“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.501Please respect copyright.PENANARka8if9NXu
“Oh, coming.” He replied.501Please respect copyright.PENANAgqNw2Q6B0r
The ten mysteries and the town of Olive. It makes him thirst for knowledge, and his curiosity wishes to be fulfilled.501Please respect copyright.PENANAqFeusn7Rn1
“Do you have a town library?” Finn asked.
