Entr. Aaron, Aphmau, Travis and Laurance walking through a large snow bank
Aphmau: This is odd.
Travis: Is something wrong?
Aphmau: Uh I don't think that we're going the right way I remember the terrain of this place looking far different. The lands were, not as mountainous maybe it's just my imagination.
Aaron: It's not this place has changed drastically in 15 years, I had spent some time wandering this area. The paths I roam are completely gone.
Aphmau: Then my feeling was right how can a place change this drastically in 15 years it should only take should take hundreds of years for mountains this big to form. If I'm looking at this right then this would be the place where Malachi's old castle would be but there's nothing but snow and mountains everywhere.
Travis: A castle? Wow time must have been cruel to it for it not to be here now.
Aphmau: Uh it's not the kind of Castle your thinking of Travis. Malachi I used to be, uh well it's actually a long story. Just know that it was a castle that could move and I'm not entirely sure what could have happened to it. I don't want to ask Malachi about that either. It's not that I don't trust you Travis, it's just a subject too deep to go into at the moment.
Travis: I get it so where exactly do we go from here?
Aphmau: Uh I'm not sure I didn't spend much time here wandering and the only person who might know this area is Aaron. Uh what do you think?
Aaron: We met in these lands.
Aphmau: I remember.
Aaron: if you go in this direction you might find the small camping spot for travelers that used to exist 15 years ago, unless nature took its toll.
Aphmau: Uh let's go even if it's not there it's worth a shot.
Aaron: It's not too far but it could take a while with these mountains to traverse.
Aphmau: It's better than, it's better than not having idea where to go.
Aaron: It's not too far inland so we should be able to find a way back here if needed follow me.
Aphmau: Come on.
A wide shot of a wooden cabin surrounded by a handful of campsites while the group stands on a hill above
Aphmau: Well look at that there are people still here. Wow!
Travis: It's getting dark we should see if we could rest here.
Aphmau: Agreed let's go and talk to whoever's in charge I'll go around and ask to see if I can find them.
Aaron: We'll wait back here if it's an open sight then all four of us approaching might be intimidating.
Aphmau: Hmm agreed. I understand. I don't mind coming by myself just stay alert in case I need backup.
Aphmau makes her way into the camp
Aphmau: Let's see. Huh, Um excuse me uh sir I'm looking for whoever's in charge of this campsite.
???: How do you know that this be a campsite not personal property?
Aphmau: Uh I I'm sorry I just uh I came here.
Maiden: Gerard calm down I'm always happy to welcome travelers from the cold.
Aphmau: Uh uh-huh?
Maiden: Good evening darling, my name is Isabell. This cottage belongs to me and my fiancée. Don't mind Gerard here he's just a regular who's really uptight now. How may I help you?
Aphmau: Uh I'm sorry if I've intruded on you but I was wondering if this place is still open for camping for the night.
Isabell: Why of course. Again don't let Gerard here scare you. This site is open to all who need shelter from the cold, of course. We have enough supplies to take in a little lady such as yourself.
Aphmau: Ah I see the issue is is that I'm not alone um I have three others in my group who are waiting on the outskirts of this camp may they join me as well.
Isabell: Oh my that might be a problem we've been really low on supplies lately...
Aphmau: I can assure you we don't need to use any supplies that you have we're just looking for a safe place to camp for the night.
Isabell: Ah I see if that's the case then you're all welcomed here. For a moment there I thought we had people four people to feed oh I see um just don't cause any trouble other than that you're welcome to stay.
Aphmau: Thank you for your kindness really. Aaron! Laurance ! Travis! We've got a place to camp tonight come on. Thank you again we appreciate it.
They set up a small camp
Aphmau: Huh I wonder what our next course of action should be?
Aaron: Here.
Aaron gives Aphmau a bag of clothes
Aphmau: Huh, what's this?
Aaron: I traded some gold for it it's a change of clothes.
Aphmau: Uh oh thank you you know I was going to do this myself. I just need some time,
Aaron: guess I beat you to it. It's nothing fancy just warm.
Aphmau: Oh don't you need something warm as well?
Aaron: I'm used to all kinds of weather conditions the way I'm dressed but thanks.
Aphmau: Are we honestly in the right place Aaron?
Aaron: Yes I'm positive.
Aphmau: So something has changed I think I'm gonna ask around to find out what it was.
Aaron: Be careful there are some shady characters here.
Aphmau: Hey I bet they think the same of you.
Aaron:....
Aphmau: What!
Aaron runs off
Aphmau: Hey Aaron come on! Uh, now I think of it it's actually really cold ah I better make use of this and change.
Aphmau changes outfits
Aphmau: Much better but very warm too now I need to find out some information who should I start with first. Um I don't think I want to mess with those guys just yet. Let's start small um excuse me sir, hi!
Gerard: Oi, it's yew.
Aphmau: Uh "yew"?
Gerard: You makin fun of the way I talks?
Aphmau: no no no no sorry I'm so sorry I didn't mean I meant no offense. It's just I've never heard it said like that before but please forget me I'm so sorry.
Gerard: Mm fine you're a cute looking that so I can forgives yews. be it one of them men you brought with you and night have knocked them right out their block, so what can I do for yews?
Aphmau: Um if you could answer this? What happened to this area I was here 15 years ago and it looked nothing like this and I don't think it would, dah 15 years just isn't enough time for it to look this way what happened here?
Gerard: I know lass I just be coming around these parts as of late.
Aphmau: I see well in that case I'm looking for Pikoro village since the terrains changed so his path there. Would you have any idea where to point us?
Gerard: Again I know what yew talks of.
Aphmau: I see. Well then my last question um I'm looking for a witch named Lucinda would you happen to know anything about her ? Or heard the name before?
Gerard: Is she as cute as yews be? I'd like to look for her too. *laughs* Calm down tis joke but I've not seen her heard of any witch for that matters. Good riddance to most of them be heartless from what I hears.
Aphmau: Uh well not exactly the case but I think I get it. thanks for your time I appreciate it a lot. Huh okay um maybe uh these guys? Excuse me sir? Hi.
???: Back off unless you got business with us
Aphmau: Uh mmm no thank you uh I'm not gonna even try to approach that guy. Let's see um excuse me up ma'am um may I have a word with you?
Woman: Evenin' what can I do for you?
Aphmau: uh do you have any idea what happened to this area? I mean 15 years ago it didn't look like this and it's just crazy how much has changed.
Woman: I'd like to know myself I used to work out here about 14 years ago and now the terrain has changed completely. If you're looking for information on that then you might be out of luck here. Trust me if someone knew then everyone would know.
Aphmau: I see well then Pikoro village? Um since the terrain has changed I'm sure you know obviously we're looking to chart a course there. Would you have any direction of where to send us?
Woman: Pikoro? I used to know how to get there but well not anymore.
Aphmau: Okay, um last question and then I'll get out of your hair. I'm looking for a witch named Lucinda um heard of the name or anything?
Woman: Don't know any witches nor do I want to.
Aphmau: I see well thank you very much. Um.
Aaron: Let me know if you find something out.
Aphmau: Yeah I will no luck yet but I will Travis Hey!
Travis: I'm looking at my map from years ago and I see what you mean. it's the same only this part should not be completely covered in snow. however getting to Pikoro shouldn't be an issue Once I have a few hours to go over this map. Just give me some time and we'll be there by tomorrow hopefully.
Aphmau: Hopefully?
Travis: Well yes I'm not an expert in charting courses, but I'm proficient enough to at least get us there, it just takes me a bit.
Aphmau: I see Travis thank you so much really it means a lot I'll leave you to work then. Uh Laurance. Hey you've been really quiet this entire time, are you okay?
Laurance: Just those things I mentioned before bothering me still. I'm trying to transform but now when I want to it's not working. Do I have to be in rage for it to work? How do I do it without being that way? The more I think about it the more I feel I should have asked Vincent for his help. I wonder if having immortality has anything to do with it that's not something I want to think about right now.
Aphmau: I think you're thinking about it way too much Laurance. You shouldn't be in a rush to control that. I feel the more you try to understand it the more you'll just get upset over not. Try to relax. We have forever to learn about what you are.
Laurance: Thanks that means a lot. Patience is key, I know that. It's just never mind *he cracks a sudden goofy smile at you*
Aphmau: Uh What? What? Wait! where did that come from?
Laurance: ha ha ha Scare you? I just wanted to see you smile. Things have gotten so, serious lately. Let's just remember we're going through hardships now so we can have better times in the future.
Aphmau sighs
Laurance: It's something I've been telling myself recently. Let's not talk about that now. Just keep that smile on let's find Lucinda.
Aphmau: You're right. You're absolutely right let's get moving. Huh uh wait uh this lady from before? I should ask her. um excuse me uh ma'am hi.
Isabell: Why hello again I forgot to ask you what is your name sweetie?
Aphmau: Uhm, It's Aphmau
Isabell: What an odd name, not in the bad way it's very unique. Is there anything I can do for you sweetheart?
Aphmau: Um uh I don't even know where to begin asking her. Alright let's start off with what happened to this area exactly? I am really curious if you don't know it was just so different 15 years ago.
Isabell: Well it just starts to change over time. Honestly I used to live here with my grandma Mira I think it was quite a few years back when we started noticing this place changing. it was such a weird change to almost like watching a bean grow. It was so fast yet so unnoticed.
Aphmau: Uh I see....
Isabell: I'm sorry I can't provide you with any more information than that on this land is there anything else you want to know?
Aphmau: Oh I, yeah Pikoro's not even. I'm looking for a witch named Lucinda would you happen to know anything about her?
Isabell: Y-y-you. *she looks around* uh follow me.
Aphmau: Uh-huh. uh okay. um what's going on here? Um where are we going exactly?
Isabell: Uh I'm not allowed to talk of this because it might scare people off and my fiancée would be upset.
Aphmau: Uh?
Isabell: First off I don't know any witch neighbor named Lucinda however there's a story about a white witch...
Aphmau: A white witch?
Isabell: Yes it's what my grandma Mira told me about the witch who wanders these lands. A long time ago my grandma was out the snow on a supply run when she was attacked by bandits just then a woman clothed in white came and saved her. She tells me she'll never forget that day.
Aphmau: uh what? Uh what did this woman look like?
Isabell: She said she couldn't see her face. however countless men have come here claiming that they were attacked by a witch clothed in white. They were severely injured and some to the point of death.
Aphmau: What?
Isabell: I don't know if it's the same witch that saved my grandma but, maybe it'd be worth a shot to try to find her.
Aphmau: Uh sounds terrible, but well. Where could I find her if I were to look?
Isabell: Out there uh from what men and women who claimed were saved by her have told me, they were wandering alone. She appears whenever and wherever it seems.
Aphmau: uh alone?
Isabell: alone and usually struggling if you want to find her you should try to go out there and fake an injury.
Aphmau: But but what if she's not the witch I'm looking for?
Isabell: I'm not saying you should do that I'm just telling you what I know of a witch. Please don't do anything rash.
Isabell runs away
Aphmau: Uh okay yeah oh I see huh I just uh, Travis?
Travis: You're thinking about it huh?
Aphmau: You were listening from that far away?
Travis: Yeah I was looking for you to talk to you about the map and then I stumbled over here.
Aphmau: Uh so I don't need to explain it to you then?
Travis: Gonna do it?
Aphmau: Yes I won't go far just enough to fake an injury and lure her out
Travis: Reckless, I like it
Aphmau: It's not reckless it's just we don't have time to sit around and wait. we've already wasted enough time on the wedding and we need to take a chance.
Travis: If you feel that way then go tell Laurance and Aaron you go do what you need to. We'll be right behind you if anything happens just don't really get injured.
Aphmau: Right. I won't I'll be back.
Aphmau runs into the snow banks
Werewolf: You you smell!
Aphmau: What look I don't want any trouble.
Werewolf: Like her the one who killed him
Aphmau: Wait you mean the king?
Werewolf: No ears but scent!
Aphmau: How do you know this?
Werewolf: you die now
A ball of light kills the wolves before panning over to Lucinda
