Silent Stronghold
Episode 1:part 1
Everett rushes to the garden excited to meet her fiance as they haven't been in contact for months
As she opens the main door that led to the garden she could hear the mumbling.
Angelica
If you don't break off your engagement with Everett, I will be leaving you very soon!!
Arshon
I.. I will Angelica, once I get her families gemstone I will leave with you!
Arshon
But for now please bear with me...
Everett
.. What.. what is going on here...
Angelica
.. It's just like it sounds
Arshon
WHAT!? N.. NO.. I MEAN.. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK-
Angelica
Stop it already Arshon, she must have heard us.. I think it's about time we tell her
Angelica
As you can see we are having a secret affair my dear cousin.
Everett
N.. no that's not true.. Arshon and I made a promise that we would be together for-
Angelica
HOW PATHETIC! Do you really think he likes you?? We just needed you for the family gemstone
Angelica
Just save it.. she won't believe us anymore
She could feel a suffocating atmosphere around her, as she struggled to say anything back to them
As her eyes filled with giant rolls of tears, her heart sank to the ground
Without thinking about anything, she sprints off as fast as she could out of the house
As she ran to the streets bustling with commoners and very few nobles, she had various thoughts popping up
Everett
I thought he loved me... how could he cheat on me with my own cousin..
she suddenly stops at a dark ally, out of breath
She steps back a few steps frightened by weird looking shadows passing by without any humans bodies.
Suddenly a frail small hand pulls her blue dress
Mysterious old woman
.. I don't think I recognize you..
Mysterious old woman
Are you perhaps not from here..?
Everett wipes her tears in a hurry as the mysterious old woman smiled as she gave her a handkerchief.
Everett looked at her for a second, as she gratefully took the handkerchief.
Everett took a deep breath and slowly began to speak
Everett
My name is Everett, I'm the daughter of the Duke of Annashizz
Everett
I.. I accidentally came here by mistake..
Mysterious old woman
Ah.. I see.
Mysterious old woman
But.. if you don't mind me asking why were you crying young lady?
Everett fiddled with her fingers as the woman spoke once more
Mysterious old woman
Never mind.. you might not want to tell a stranger about your private affairs
Everett explained her situation as the woman nodded along with her
Mysterious old woman
Oh my.. quite a day wasn't it..
Everett looked down into the ground trying not to burst into tears again
Mysterious old woman
.. what about we make a little deal. I can give you something but in return I want you to stop being sad and pitiful and to take charge.
The woman smiled at Everett, as she took out a shining piece of jewellery from her pouch.
Mysterious old woman
It's not an ordinary necklace.. it's a necklace that can make your wish come true.. but only if it's a strong enough wish..
Mysterious old woman
I hope that you will use it wisely...
Everett nods as she takes the necklace from her and stares at its shimmering light.
Julia
WHERE ARE YOU, MY LADY!
Everett turns back to where the sound was coming from
Everett
.. I think its one of my maids.. I have to..
Everett turns back to the place the woman was standing, but she was no longer there
Julia
There you are my lady!!
Julia
The Duke and Duchess is very angry my lady!
Julia
We must hurry back right this instant!
As the maid turns her back and rushes away Everett looks back again and then slowly follows the maid
Episode 1:part 2
As they were on the rickety carriage, Everett could stop to wonder about what had happened.
Her eyes kept wavering, and hands kept Fidgeting.
Julia
Is there something bothering you my lady?
Everett
.. it's nothing...
Everett
.. I'm just thinking about.. what the Duke and Duchess would say..
without thinking about Anything, She had lied to her personal maid would had been with her for 10 years of her life.
After a while they had arrived at the Mansion, to be greeted by Angelica.
Feeling bitter, Everett stepped out of the carriage and quietly walked to the entrance, where she could hear Angelica's maids snickering on about her.
Angelica walked to Everett proudly and stood in front of her, crossed armed, smirking.
Angelica
The Duchess is waiting for you at the lounge. 😏
Everett
I have already been informed...
Everett evades Angelica and scurries to the lounge.
As Julia opens the lounge doors, a roar of complaints were shot at her.
Narvinee
Finally you are here!! What took you so long! 😡
Narvinee
We had been waiting for you for hours now!! 😞
James
Now dear, Calm down...
Everett
.. Did you need for me fa- I mean... Duke?
Narvinee
Why did you break off your engagement with Arshon!!! 🤬
Narvinee
Do you know how tough it was for us to beg them so much!?!?
Narvinee
Ugh, I cannot believe I raised such an insolent child!!! 😡
James
But what the Duchess said was true..
Narvinee
And when your cousin Angelica tried to mend everything together and tried to make you stop fighting, you slapped her and accused her of trying to steal him!!! 🤬😡😡
Everett's eyes widened as her mouth flung open
Everett
WHAT!?! I HAVE NEVER SLAPPED HER NOR ACCUSED HER BECAUSE I SAW HER WITH HIM
Everett
SHE DIDN'T TRY TO MEND ANYTHING TOGETHER!! THEY WERE PLANNING TO STEAL OUR FAMILY GEMSTONE!!!
James
ENOUGH! You should stop lying so much, Angelica even has a scar on her face!
James
How will she get married now!!
As the Duke was speaking Angelica slids into the room, with a red scar on her face that wasn't there before.
James
You must apologize to her and Arshon right this instant!!
Everett's legs starts to shake as she clinged her fist and ran to her bedroom
She slams the door shut as giant rolls of tears goes down her face.
She jumps onto her bed crying as her necklace starts to shimmer a bit.
Everett
I JUST WISH THAT I COULD JUST GO BACK TO BEFORE THIS EVER HAPPENED!!!! 😡😭
Suddenly her necklace shoots out light all around the room, as Everett could feel herself falling asleep.
Episode 2:part1
Dark mystical clouds flowed by as a gentle voice in the distance travelled with the wind.
Purii Chu~
HEY GIRL, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO CALL HUH!!
Purii Chu~
YOU BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE I COUNT TO 3!! 😤😡🤬
Frightened by the horrifying noise, Everett opens her eyes.
She looked at the woman that she was laying her head on.
The mysterious woman had strange light pinkish hair that she had never seen before.
She also wore foreign ancient clothing, and was carrying a small round..
Miyo~
Oink! ~ Finally, what took you so long!
Everett sprang up off the woman's lap cautiously.
Everett
Where am I... and why is there a talking pig here....
Everett
The last thing that I remember was...
The woman smiled at Everett as she stood up.
Purii Chu~

The woman's eyes widened as she stared at him.
Spell binder Caso

Spell binder Caso

Good... now as I was saying...
The woman smirked at Everett once more and began to speak.
Purii Chu~

Purii Chu~

Purii Chu~

Miyo~
And my name is Miyo!
Miyo~

Miyo~
The old man right there is.. Casophinelottize
Purii Chu~
But that sounds old, so I call him Caso.
Everett

Miyo~

Everett
What do you mean... A lady gave this to me as a gift....
Purii Chu~
Yes... I'm unfortunately informed of that...
Purii Chu~

Purii Chu~
She is the one who took me in and raised me...
Purii Chu~

Purii Chu~
All you need to know is that since you are the holder of the necklace... you have a responsibility... blah blah blah... don't remember some parts.. you can't use it for evil.. hmm.. I think that's all.
Purii Chu~
Oh ya, and since you wished for something, it got granted
Miyo~

Purii Chu~
Oh it's no fun to explain she should just experience it herself.. besides I'm tired.. Caso get me some boba and cheesecake I'm hungry!
Suddenly Purii waves her hands and a hole appears underneath Everett causing her to get sucked in.
Purii Chu~
.. it's more entertaining than making a door for her..
