ENTR Aphmau and Aaron make their way into the middle of the Phoenix Alliance
The two stand there before Aaron leaves
Emmalyn: Excuse me! Uh oh Aphmau it is you see Kenmur I told you.
Kenmur: I didn't say you were wrong only that we needed more information to support that hypothesis. Besides it was still dark out how can you expect me to adeque-
Emmalyn: you're doing it again, dear. Lady I- Aphmau it's so wonderful to see you again!
Kenmur: Right, sorry. Good morning Aphmau!
Aphmau: Emmalyn, Kenmur. You guys are back I thought you had gotten lost on your honeymoon. Oh gosh I mean Irene forbid. Uh wait wouldn't Dante be accompanying you guys?
Aphmau: How did you find your way to the Village?
Emmalyn: We came out of the portal and saw you and that man walking through the forest. We decided to follow and I slowly started to realize you looked familiar even though I couldn't see your face. *Laughs*
Aphmau: So you followed Aaron and I uh you were walking back. Wait, wait, H-how long were you watching us for?
Kenmur: We just saw you come out of the forest we're glad it was you when Emmy found out you were looking for us she practically dropped everything and we came right here. Dante didn't even get a chance to finish the sentence before she zoomed off to the portal.
Emmalyn: uh I got a little excited, maybe.
Aphmau: Well, now that you're here we can get to the real matter at hand Emmalyn tell me all about your honeymoon. I want to know all the details.
Emmalyn: Honeymoon?! Aphmau you invited us here to a Mysterious Island no one has ever known about just to ASK ABOUT OUR HONEYMOON?!
Aphmau: Obviously
Kenmur: But there was a reason you needed us yes because if you wanted a recounting of our trip to create recreate Lady Irene's pilg-
Emmalyn: No Kenmur. Don't be silly of course she doesn't we haven't even properly documented our experiences yet.
Aphmau: Uh I'm excited to hear about whatever it is you guys found. Maybe it could actually help us here.
Emmalyn: Oh don't worry Aphmau you'll love it. It was an amazing trip.
Aphmau: I'm sure it was now are you going to tell me all about the honeymoon or should we start covering the fact that this island is relevant to Irene.
Emmalyn: the second option of course tell me everything you know!!
Aphmau: *laughs* Well from the looks of it it seems like this island might be where Irene lived.
Kenmur: What makes you say that?
Emmalyn: Kenmur don't interrupt.
Aphmau: Uh we don't have a lot of information on this island. I mean we only found this place on account of a tome we had in our possession but after we explored the island we found some ruins and honest-
Kenmur: Ruins? what kind of ruins were they?
Emmalyn: Ken-mur!
Aphmau: Uh, uh, uh, well.
Kenmur: Ruins, Emmalyn!
Emmalyn: Lady Irene, Kenmur!
Kenmur: Right! *ahem* Continue Aphmau.
Aphmau: Anyway we found a temple Still Standing among the ruins but it's,
Kenmur: Could it be?!
Emmalyn: What kind of Temple?!
Aphmau: Uh it. Uh not only that it's a. It's a It
Kenmur: Not now Kenmur Aphmau is getting to the best part!
Aphmau: But Emmalyn you're interrupting me more, no nothing. Never mind. Sorry you guys are just really cute. Uh what's really interesting though is that underneath the temple we found what we think is a crypt for lady Irene or the Magi maybe. I mean we're not entirely sure but there's some evidence to strongly prove that, uh
Emmalyn: A-A-Aphmau?
Aphmau: Emmalyn?
Emmalyn: Are you telling me you found something intact of--
Kenmur: *Ahem* Relatively intact
Emmalyn: Details don't matter sugar buns! Aphmau did you find intact ruins of Lady Irene?
Aphmau: Uh I mean yeah I was just about-
Emmalyn: Do you know how significant a find like that is? No one has ever *ahem*
Kenmur: Relatively intact.
Emmalyn: Uh no one has ever found an intact stru- relatively intact structure dedicated to the matron. No one. uh ever. at all. in the history of everything!
Aphmau: but uh there's um yeah, I a-um.
Emmalyn: Okay calm down Emmalyn calm down Lady Aphmau is looking at you and she probably thinks you're a you're a nerd. Uh Kenmur sugars we need to head back to Phoenix Drop and gather our findings and documents on Lady Irene.
Kenmur: Which ones?
Emmalyn: All of them.
Kenmur: That's what I figured also I'm not sure I'm 100% on the lovey dovey nicknames yet.
Emmalyn: This is the pursuit of knowledge Kenmur we need code names! oh come on! let's go! Aphmau we'll be setting up a library when we get back.
Aphmau: Uh guys. Guys wait uh wait guys! guys? uh where are they going?
Emmalyn: Don't worry Aphmau we'll be back soon. Don't let that temple run Away!
Emmalyn and Kenmur make their way back to Phoenix Drop
Aphmau: Okay well that should be pretty easy but still Aaron and I really lost track of time. Uh I'm still tired too. Huh?
Aphmau sees Dimitri and Katelyn out on the beach
Aphmau: What, isn't it kind of early for those two to be out right now? I wonder what they're up to?
Dimitri: But how we get them over here on land?
Katelyn: That would be the easier part. Lucinda would help us bring them over.
Dimitri: It must be great to have a witch around.
Katelyn: Witchcraft and Magics can be useful but we shouldn't rely on them.
Dimitri: We shouldn't? Why?
Katelyn: Because we can't rely on anyone's strength but our own. Golden Rule, don't do something you don't think you can do on your own. Magics and Witchcraft are convenient and Lucinda is gracious to help us here but Lucinda may not always be around. Even without Lucinda I'm confident we can move Michi and Sasha.
Dimitri: But why is Lucinda even here I thought witches weren't to be trusted.
Katelyn: I think Aphmau could better answer that. Right, Aphmau?
Aphmau: Good morning Katelyn. Dimitri.
Dimitri: What the but you knew it was how did you?
Katelyn: I'll show you when you're older now about those 20 laps you still need to do.
Dimitri: but it's so early
Katelyn: Hi Aphmau.
Aphmau: What are you two doing up this early?
Katelyn: We were just checking up on Michi and Sasha. They've been on that boat for a while now.
Aphmau: Oh yeah they've been so quiet I honestly almost forgot.
Katelyn: Don't worry Laurance and I have been taking turns checking in on them
Dimitri: Don't forget me today was my turn too!
Aphmau: How'd it go?
Katelyn: It was nothing out of the ordinary I think the boat is starting to get to Michi though. She's getting more irritated and irritating she hissed at me today. Sasha on the other hand is the one that worries me she's always so collected and composed it's a little unsettling.
Aphmau: So we're going to be okay with them?
Katelyn: Laurance says there's nothing to worry about with Sasha he would know best but we can't keep them on that boat forever we need to build a proper jail cell for them.
Aphmau: mhm agreed I'll speak with Brendan and Aaron later to see what can get done. I'm surprised you took Dimitri along for this.
Katelyn: it's perfectly safe
Aphmau: I'm not talking about that.
Katelyn: What was that?
Aphmau: Um nothing it's just I mean I'm surprised you've been keeping Dimitri around as long as you have.
Katelyn: Well maybe Isabelle is starting to rub off on me.
Dimitri: Ha you're nothing like Isabelle she's nicer and-
Katelyn: 35 laps now
Dimitri: W-what?
Katelyn: No questions do it.
Dimitri: ah fine.
Katelyn: He hates running laps.
Aphmau: Katelyn, are you okay?
Katelyn: He reminds me of my younger Brothers.
Aphmau: Katelyn.
Katelyn: He'll be tough I'll make sure of it someone's got to teach that future Lord of Scaleswind how to be tough Zoey and Isabell aren't suited to do that.
Aphmau: So I guess the only option is you.
Katelyn: It might be, yeah.
Aphmau: I'm sure Nicole would appreciate this.
Katelyn: I'm sure she would Dimitri seems interested in wielding a fist weapon since he keeps trying to take mine I'd love to teach him how to properly do that but do a wielding swords is something I'll leave to Dante. Anyway I've got to keep an eye on the little Menace he likes to slack off when I can't see him.
Aphmau makes her way back into the village
Aphmau: All right I'm going to go and check on Lilith I'll be back good luck Dimitri. Well it's kind of nice to see that side of Katelyn. uh hopefully she won't kill Dimitri with that intense training but he'll become stronger because of it. Still.
Yip: Aphmau! Aphmau!
Aphmau: Yip! hey good morning.
Yip: Aphmau I think we might be in trouble.
Aphmau: What!? Yip is everything okay what's wrong?
Yip: Uh since we got back yesterday, I've smelled this scent there's another wolf here like me but not like me.
Aphmau: uh oh you're probably talking about Leona. I'm surprised you haven't run into her already she-
Yip: Leona why does that name sound familiar?
Aphmau: Uh well-
Leona: Ah-ha!
Aphmau: oh there she is, Leona.
Leona: I found you!
Aphmau: Uh,
Yip: This is the thing I was just talking about! The scent is strong!
Leona: You are the pure blood werewolf!
Yip: You are the thing that smells!
Leona: This is my territory.
Yip: I was here first I have this tree I-
Aphmau: Okay, Yip. Yip look. Leona Yip please take a moment to calm down, I understand you're werewolves and it's natural for you to get angry really fast however you two have met before. Leona was just a baby and Yip you were just two at the-
Yip: Why do you let your ears show?!
Leona: The better to hear you with.
Yip: No seriously.
Leona: Why it's my own preference I also have my tail out. Uh why do you stay as a pure human?
Yip: Because I just do!
Leona: Kind of weird for pure blood.
Yip: mmm,
Leona: you're the first I've ever met. I challenge you to see who's better!
Yip: Ha the answer is obvious!
Leona: Well at least I want to give you a chance catch me if you can!
Aphmau: Uh Leona?
Leona: By the way I'm Leona.
Aphmau: uh oh so I guess everything's okay.
Yip: That brat! How dare she challenge me! Aphmau I must go mark my territory I'm out!
Aphmau: Uh how weird. Where did Leona come from? Uh in any case I'm too tired to actually think right now. I should probably really go take a nap if Emmalyn and Kenmur come back I know the first thing we're going to do is go explore those ruins, so yeah I'm going to go take a nap now and I'll get Laurance right after that. huh.
