Nick: Grabs your arm W-we... we need to act fast. Th-they’re burning everything!
FireworkHarmony
I grab his hand let’s go
FireworkHarmony
she runs behind him
I knew you were secretly a cool person, Nick!
FireworkHarmony
nick we need to find the real culprit behind this act
You know what? I agree. It was probably someone who wanted to get close to you, and this was their plan. Let's go investigate!
FireworkHarmony
alright but first let’s go somewhere safe
Alright, let’s go to the castle. It has its own emergency power source so we can stay there until we figure out what to do.
FireworkHarmony
o ok
We run to the castle. The guards at the front gate run up to us.
FireworkHarmony
G-guards stop him!
Wait, wait, wait! Guards! Don't hurt him! I know him!
FireworkHarmony
GUARDS LISTEN TO NICK!
Guards, stand down! He’s my friend!
FireworkHarmony
the guards stop attacking the guy
So, uh, what were you trying to do anyway?
FireworkHarmony
wait why did you help me
Because I want to help you, dummy! Besides, you seem like a cool person, even if you do act like a jerk sometimes.
FireworkHarmony
i know why. its because you saw the keychain i had with me
FireworkHarmony
the keychain that proves that I’m a keyholder from cryptid keepers
Oh, you're a keyholder? That's cool, I guess. But I still don't see how that would make me help you.
FireworkHarmony
keyholders are famous and everyone wants to steal their powers
So, basically you're saying that everyone wants to steal your powers, and that's why I helped you? Well, now that you mention it, that makes sense. But I still think it was a little unnecessary to attack those guards like that.
FireworkHarmony
yeah but now that it’s explained I get it a bit
Well, anyway, we should probably get going to the castle now. We'll have to tell the King what happened, and figure out a way to deal with these arsonists.
FireworkHarmony
yeah wait…you said king right
Yes, the King of Elmdoria. Why?
FireworkHarmony
you said king so that means that you must be a prince
Uh, I-I mean, ahem... Sorry about that, got a bit...distracted. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find an ancient text on herbalism around here?
FireworkHarmony
wait you never told me that
And you never asked. Anyway, I'm not really a fan of lying, but I am in a very sticky situation. So, let's just say that I'm trying to find an ancient text on herbalism because...uh...I'm doing research for a school project. Yeah, that's it.
FireworkHarmony
damnit. she throws her hands in her hair
Hey, come on, don't be so upset! So, uh, do you know where I could find this ancient text on herbalism?
FireworkHarmony
fine…follow me
