WEEK 2 MINGLE - ARTEMISIA

[foundationmods]

Things had changed so rapidly in the past few days.

The loss of two of them hung over like a shroud, made even worse by the fact that an innocent person had been executed.

Was this....how the rest of the game was going to go...?🗈

....Even if it was, there wasn't much they could do now. Yuuko herself hasn't shown up in public since the trial, and while some have talked to her, she's been...subdued.

Did the trial hurt her just as much as them?

Regardless, the island is still beautiful, if deadly. Summer continues, beaming down on all of them, the waves of the sea warm and inviting.

But even if things look bleak...

They have something in their hands that will soon lead to the Truth, and the heart of this matter.

And in the air...lies a heavy sense that everything is about to change.

[He's reliable(?) like that, unfortunately.]

I don't think there's anything else we can do! We don't even know where one of our Witches is, let alone the ghost.

By the way, I've been wondering about the last bit of the Epitaph. What does it say?

[improbablenotimpossible]

The Latin?

[Well most people wouldn't know it, so he's willing to translate]

'From one, learn all
From the Beginning
To the Eternal Rest'.

We're still missing pieces from the puzzle in the middle. But you always have to start solving from the edges, anyway. Eternal rest, eternal rest...

[There's almost the faint sound of gears turning before he smiles.]

Is 'one' a person or just 'the Beginning'?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Usually when used, the phrase Ab uno disce omnes means 'from one example, the truth may be learned', that by observing, you should be able to discern the general rule that governs most situations. And by understanding the general rules, you can then discern the exceptions.

Does that mean there's something bigger here that we're only seeing one piece of...? If we're even seeing the piece yet.

[He gives a little laugh.]

Ahh, this is so complicated! I'm okay at puzzles, but Father was definitely better, and the Foundation doesn't give a lot of practice. I guess I'm paying for it now!
