C369: Devided Interest

The Tale Bearers are heading toward a garden that was designed for shooting. It was said to be historical. Ain was ticked to hear when the Garden was named Twin CY Garden. Ain had this thought that it might be one of the El Oathniel garden but it surprised him to find out that it was the very garden in his back yard. It was their house hold's garden.

Urchin and Kahieli gasped. Even Sycamore can't help but feel uneasy when his feet showed the memories of the garden.

"This is insane!" Ain hissed in anger.

"Your family garden got owned by the singer you are interested in." Urchin pointed.

"Garden?" The others questioned.

"This is Ain's house. It is the palace known as the home of thunder and space." Kahieli explained.

"And now it's being based by a winged singer." Ain muttured.

A man in his butler attire approaches.

"You have booked the north wing Mr. Fur?"

Fur stepped forward and talked to the butler. The way towards the nort wing had them amazed.

"I can't believe that the whole mansion got replicated." Ain complained.

"Was it too real?" Cherith asked.

"Yeah and it's too good to be true." Ain confirmed.

"What if she survived and she is also the person behind this?" Urchin notified.

Ain paused and replied.

"I will be able to sense it."

Kahieli tapped in Ain's shoulder and assured him.

"You don't have to be so stiff."

Agsus also added to comfort Ain.

"You are here to rest and rejuvenate. Don't get caught in black memories."

The production staff started setting up. All the contestant recieved their designated numbers. Agsus and Ain talked to the directors and to the writers. They were brief with the blockings and to their practice room and preparation rooms. While the two are busy, The kid started to do their own designated tasks.

Ole and Selah started helping out to the women's styling and make up. Cherith and Saga pretended to be tourist as they took pictures and selfies. Urchin and Sycamore just leisurely explored the whole palace for any boundaries that were opened but found none. Even Sycamore's record checking alerted the whole palace. It was thanks to the crowd lining up for audition that they were not caught.

Nimrod and Kahieli helped Fur to put on costume.

"I never saw Ain looked dreadful. Just who was she?" Fur raised as he arranged the needle.

"Evi. His mother." Nimrod replied.

"Oh, i knew about her. I never thought that she was related to any of the tale bearers." Fur confirmed.

"Yeah, nobody expected that turned of events." Kahieli admitted.

The alarmed sounded within the palace. It was a strange siren and the notice came after from a announcement.

"There are some technical default. We politely ask everyone to be in their designated wings and remain there for a few moments. There will be inspections to be done. Be safe visitors."

Ain and Agsus walked guided by the staff and was surprised to see everyone already in the room. When the staff left, Saga noticed a small device planted on Agsus' candidate number.

Saga removed his glasses to confirm as he raised his hand to silence them.

He started typing on his phone and sent it to everyone.

"There is a mic on the candidate number. This is too fishy."

Ain and Urchin exchange glances. Everyone were halted and does not know how to react.

Ain suddenly broke the ice and cheered.

"We finally acquired his number. He is number 13. Let us do our best and be pumped up."

Ain sent his instructions via messages.

"Don't ever call Urchin, Kahieli, Sycamore, Nimrod and my name. It is a trap, someone really is here. Be more careful and never move alone. Use intials!"

Nimrod instantly created a group chat for the team to communicate well.

"You can call me third." Nimrod volunteered.

"Syca is fine." the second typed in.

"Heli." Is good for Kahieli. Urchin raised.

"We can call you Chi." Saga laughed that made Cherith and Ole sent an emoji of celebration.

"Kids focus on the main goal." Ain reminded.

"We will call you Single." Nimrod teased as Agsus and Fur flooded it with thumbs up.

The Tale Bearer almost failed but was able to put on ad-libs. Ain needed to disguised himself into a nerd in order to get along well with staff since their target haven't shown his face yet. It pissed Ain that this fool tried to remodel the house he grew up and is acting important for not showing up.

Selah and Ole also tried to hang out with the staff and gain more information but they git none. The staff were all fan girls.

The make up room suddenly went silent when the so called winged singer entered with a red carpet. Selah and Ole needed to act up like fan as he walked in proudly.

"Hello ladies, Sky is in the house!"

The women started gigling and clapping their hands Selah and Ole felt disgusted but had no choice but to proceed.

Sky then eyed Selah and examined her in a perverted way that made Ole want to gouge our his eyes.

"You, lovely lady.. are you knew here?" Sky flirted.

"No, we are a make up artist of candidate 13." Selah smiled.

"Oh, so you have a contestant. Let me take note of that." Sky winked as Ole forced a huge grin.

"You got an awkward smile there" Sky commented on Ole.

"Really?" Ole asked in attempt to be cute but her yes almost blinked like a firefly.

Selah nudged Ole by the side and halted.

"Your cute how about the two of you join me in my room." Sky invited.

Selah and Ole agreed and messaged the gang.

Kahieli heared how the production crew were buzzing about Selah and Ole being invited. Agsus and Ain applauded but Saga and Kahieli sent their personal messages.

"Don't let those filfty hands touch you."
