Now that Saint Olga was immune to the cold of Mount Hakobe, she traveled down the peak off the Mountain in her chariot that was carried by eight skeletons that would be trudging through the snow. She may be immune to the cold but she wasn't walking through all that snow. However today she was heading down to the settlement she heard was doing a Halloween festival. She was more then just a little curious about. She was curious how an ice cold settlement in the mountains made a spooky festival in a place more suited for a winter wonderland So now with her immunity to cold she ventured onward to the settlement excited to see this festival. As her chariot arrived and her skeletons knelt she opened the door seeing many festival attendees staring at her in awe, due to her chariot being fitting for the occasion. She would look back at her chariot for a moment snapping her fingers and the skeletons were done with disappeared as the crowd started to clap for the Necromancer as her magic fit the festival to a tee. She didn't argue she smiled gave a small wave and proceeded to enter the festival.
As she walked The festival she looked I'm around at all of the people attending all Decoration stands and vendors. She would kill the walk until she heard a man announcing one of the festival games.
"Come one come all guess the right coffin win some candy and a golden skull token! How about you beutiful!"
She then noticed that he was pointing at her, A lot of people were now staring at her as she was called out. She decided to humor the man and walk over to him deciding this could be a fun little event in a waste of time for her. As she approached she gave the man a respectful smile And a small crowd formed however to very much her surprise the second she got there before she could say anything the man already started to explain how to play and started the game!
" The rules are simple keep your eye on the candy that's right the candy enterprise gets wrong or plastic skeleton awaits!"
He said as she looked down and the coffins were already moving, she had been had. She let her guard down one time for a festival and she just got scammed. She did not like this game though her smile on her face wouldn't show it she was very unhappy with this but she would participate as The crowd was now looking on and watching an amazement, she did not find this Amazing but however she's supposed she could just pick one at random and see what happened. As soon as the coffin stopped she looked down at them and pointed at the far left one she didn't want to think about it she just wanted to pick one to be done with this. Inside the coffin was a plastic skeleton that just laughed when it opened.
"Oh to bad look why don't we give her a round of applause and the prize anyway as she did her best!"
He said as he held out the prize to her. She took the price and saw a glint in his eyes as if he knew what he'd done but wanted to drum up attention especially with her being some eye candy For the crowd. While she didn't like being played like that she understood why he did it and would let it slide this time taking the prize and walking off to the next event at least it was free and it didn't cost her any money that's probably the only reason she didn't get up more upset than she did.
The next event she would run into she saw flyers for a corn maze hunt. She was less interested in the hunt part and more interested how this cold sort of one could even grow corn maybe they import a corn and plant it for just for the event, yes she had to see. Sort of that she made her way to the event maybe even planning to participate who knows however when she got there she just stayed at it for a moment a long moment. The corn maze was icicles stabbed into the ground carved to look like corn. She couldn't help but appreciate the ingenuity using what they had and wondered how long it took them to get the icicles needed and carved for the event and keeping like that. It was probably a maker mage as she had to guess. But she approached the maze Eager to try this as she approached the start a announcer spoke over a megaphone.
" The rules of the maz are really simple you a 5 minute Head Start for you guys to enter the maze look around and find the exit however after five minutes a killer will be released into the maze you must survive the killer by either exiting or lasting fifteen minutes in there with him without dying. A couple of years for this survivors do not climb or drink the corn stalks And your magic car will be cut off once you enter the mates so don't try any spell. Survivors will be awarded a golden skull token if They managed to survive the killer are there any questions?"
With no one having any questions the gates were opened. Immediately people started scattering through the maze and Saint Olga was no diffrent. She started making her way through the maze the ice cause almost acting like a hall of mirrors making it even more confusing for contestants as people found themselves bumping into walls. As she walked through looking for the exit she was having a hard time herself with the walls. Whoever designed this Maze did a particularly good job, she prides herself on being rather observant. But even with all her focus she saw sometimes is getting little lost. It was as if the light was reflecting off of all the corn stalks and creating and illusion if a path. However five minutes elapsed and hear not only a buzzer but behind her a killer with frost blue skin and white hair and red eyes. He held and enchantment icicle that was his knife. There was a long second where they just made eye contact with each other, Of course the killer entered right where she was. Seeing Olga he dashed at her preparing to strike. Not being able to find the exit she decided to use the next thing and just start heading back towards beginning getting away from this killer. She may not have been able to find Path out but remember you served her very well on the path and especially since you could see her footprints in the snow. Unfortunately she had led the killer into a few of the other participants That were lost near the beginning however that wasn't her a progractive better them then her. As she got to the starting gate she found herself trapped The killer having been slowed down due to taking five people down along the war path. As the killer rounded the corner looking at her twirling the icicle he sprinted at her. She stood there resigning to her fate this time however then the buzzer went off… She had somehow managed to survive. As soon as the buzzer went off The actor dropped The icicle walked past her and just gave a circle and a nod to her walking up the gate. She didn't respond to that however she did leave behind him in someone approaching her.
" Congratulations for surviving the maze with the killer here is your golden skull token and have fun at the rest of the events!"
They said as they handed her a golden skull token. She now how two of these tokens that could be cashed in with you and she didn't quite know what to do with it however, through the thing that caught her attention a flier she had all earlier for a moonlight Halloween ball. She smiled and made her way to the next event.
As she made her way to the final event of the evening for her the moonlight ball she would approach the dance floor seeing that was carved in the shape of a pumpkin And the moonlight Made it quicker and glow like a lit jack-o-lantern. There are many contestants Participating in the ball we're another than the thumping music that was happening earlier this was more elegant Halloween music, the kind that was spooky and chilling at the same time. As she made her way out to the dance floor she looked up and noticed a panel of judges, that were singly giving out tokens to whoever they think was dancing well. She didn't feel it was fair if she'd do this without having The criteria needed to earn a token, But she wasn't really hear for a token she We'll just do what they want if she got one straight if she didn't then she would enjoy herself her way. She slowly made her way out to the dance floor and started to dance sliding on the ice combining Her own moves with the Is slickness of the ice dancing very elegantly and almost in a mesmerizing way. As she made her way to the center doing her dance some people stopped completely just to stare at her, not that she noticed she was in her own world as long as she was dancing on this ice until the song ended nothing else mattered to grow they best pray they didn't interrupted her. I just went on for what seemed to be a couple of minutes until finally the music stopped and she stopped with it looking around her. People were just staring at her having been watching her she didn't think she did Anything too special however maybe you should get to win really well when she was lost in her own little world. However she did a respectful bow and courtesy to the crowd He then started clapping for her and one of the judges came down And offered her one of the golden skull tokens. She smiled heavily accepting the token in slowly escorting herself off of the dance floor.
After the dance she had enough of the festival, It would go all night long however she wanted to return home. Not that she wasn't enjoying herself, she just felt like it had nothing else to offer her and she wanted to see what she could get with these three skull tokens That being the case she started to make her way and looked for the prize counter, she wanted to use these three golden skull tokens. After having asked directions and being pointed the way to the prize counter she thanked the person give me a smile and left Spotting the price counter and going to exchange her golden skull tokens.
As she walked towards the prize counter she looked down at her three skull tokens thinking about her day, In the spite of the one person's scamming her, not being too well in the maze As she was almost hunted and killed. However the dancing was very nice, and she found herself overall enjoying the experience. She wouldn't mind using this again next year now knowing what the settlement down in the peaks of hakobe did around this time of year. She went to a prize counter turning in her three tokens. The man behind the counter handed her a pumpkin key chain. She held up key chain In front of her observing it briefly before clasping it and returning to her chariot. As she climbed inside her chariot she took one look back at the festival giving a small smile before shutting the door. Summoning her skeletons to lift the chariot she decided to head home clipping her key chain to the ceiling of the chariot.
