Section 2

Part 3

Chapter 1

Ace, Glade, and a few others from the convoy left the pub with the two musicians.

They walked through the busy lit up streets.

Sounds of merriment and music enveloped their surroundings.

“I'm Teryl,” one of the musicians said. “This is Mac.”

“Nice to meet you,” Glade said.

“What do you know about the masks?” Teryl asked.

Glade said, “They're ancient; thousands of years old. Their origins are unknown. They have very strong and mysterious supernatural powers. They've been safeguarded by Spirit Island for a long time.”

“Yes,” Teryl said. “Their powers are unpredictable.”

“Why don't citizens of Spirit Island mind the government overthrow?” Ace asked.

Teryl responded, “They want Spirit Island to become more powerful by way of the mask experiments. They're intrigued by the masks.”

Chapter 2

Teryl said, “Tarver claims that the Spiriters were let go. However, most of the Spiriters are imprisoned. Some Spiriters weren't captured and are in hiding.”

“They want the others Spiriters released?”

“Yes. And they want to rid the masks from the mask museum. We can tell you more. We can meet tomorrow.”

“Sure,” Ace said. “Let's meet in front of that pub tomorrow, at noon?” 

“See you then,” Teryl said.
