I mean, can you blame the guy?

Laurance after Zane and Garroth finally come home from Starlight so they can pay their part of the rent:

Mystreet Rewrite: Emerald Secret Part 1

A weird place to start off, but I would like to discuss my own take on an Emerald Secret season for Mystreet. First off, the cast is a little different. Aphmau (who I’ll be calling Aphia) & Zane are still there. Along with Ein one of the villains. Buuuuut there are some other people out here too.

Starting off, Aphia gets a call from her mom (who is a House Flipper.) She had gotten a job from The Ro'Meave Corporation to go fix up an old mansion for them. However, she would be available during that time for a reason she doesn’t specify but thinks that Aphia would be perfect for the job! Besides the Ro’Meave’s are offering a lot of money to get this job done and Aphia currently needs the money since she’s trying to save up to bring her friends to Starlight, since they had surprised her long ago with tickets to Love-Love Island. So she agree’s to take the job and hangs up the call. And we cut over to Sylvania, who places the phone down and turns to someone behind her. She says to them, “I’ve done what you’ve asked my dear. Oh! I cannot wait to have the whole family back together again…” and we get a look at her face, and her bright emerald green eyes.

As Aphia is preparing to head on over to the house Dante catches wind of what’s going on and convinces her (cough cough Begs Her. Cough!) to bring Gene along since he could also really use the money. She agrees and Gene ends up being Sasha and Zenix too. Surprisingly, Zane suddenly wants to tag along too. Mainly because he still doesn’t trust Gene and doesn’t want Aphia, his first ever friend, to head up to a mansion alone with Gene and his gang. So he insists on coming along to protect her. And thus! The House Fixers pack up into a rented van and head on up to the house. About half way to the mansion they stop at a gas station in a small town and meet Mikai, a Meif'wa working the register there. They pick up a couple snacks and head on the road again, eventually finding the mansion.

As expected the mansion is very old and definitely looks like it could use some love. After a small argument outside between Zane & Gene along with Sasha freaking out a little because she left her potions at home Aphia leads them all into the house using the key she found nearby. They find the powers out and Zenix offers to look around outside for a fuse box or something because he’s totally not afraid of the dark. Aphia, Gene, Sasha, and Zane look around inside until realizing that Zenix has a been gone just a liiiitle too long and Zane & Sasha go outside to look for him. The two find Zenix passed out in the snow. They pull him inside and when he wakes up they ask him what happened. To which he says he doesn’t remember much accept a sudden chill running through his body. Then suddenly there’s a sound of an explosion sending the three running towards the noise. They find a slightly charred garage with a damaged generator and Aphia & Gene clinging to each other with a protection spell wrapped around them (cast by Aphia, who had been practicing Abjuration Magic.) the two are thankfully unharmed but it looked like the power wouldn’t be coming on any time soon. Thankfully the boiler was working through! Small things. As the group is recovering another sound sends them into panic. The sound of something (or someone) breaking into the house. The group goes to investigate and see a pack of wolves searching the main floor. They all try to stay hidden, but Zane accidentally steps on a creaky floorboard and the wolves snap to look in that direction. Before anything else could react Zenix quickly grabs Zane and pulls him down behind the boxes again. And is…seemingly holding him protectively now. Which…is a little odd considering how Zenix usually acts. The wolves draw closer, but just as they are about to pounce a whistle is heard from outside and they promptly turn tail and run. Leaving the group of house flippers very confused and very frightened.

We then cut back to the old neighborhood and see Laurance & Dante packing up their car. They had decided it could be run to go drive up to the lodge to surprise everyone and check up on how they are doing. Garroth would have tagged along, but lately he has been very busy with his new job and sadly couldn’t join. But Laurance assured him that everyone would be fine. They attempt to at least call Aphia to let her know they are coming, only to receive no answer. They decide that she probably doesn’t have any internet up there and continue on, only a little worried now.

We cut back to the house flippers, who had decided to focus on fixing the house for now and worry about the wolves later. Besides they had installed new locks so now the wolves couldn’t get in, right? Zenix and Sasha are still a tad worried though and ask Gene if he really thinks they are safe here. He responses with a Yes. But when confronted by Zane later he admits that he just told them that so they wouldn’t worry anymore. To be honest, he wasn’t sure what they were up against. He wonders if maybe that had been a werewolf pack but Zane quickly denied that. Zane had studied a little werewolf history during his free time and the werewolves of today couldn’t transform into full animals like those wolves were. “The wolves were probably just hungry and stumbled into the lodge looking for food.” He says, blatantly ignoring the fact that they had closed the doors of the lodge upon entering. And normal wolves wouldn’t have been able to get in. Aphia at that point walks over and adds that wolves also tend to avoid people when they can. So the wolves probably got spooked upon realizing there were people here and wouldn’t be coming back!

After a long day of work the group settles down in one of the rooms near the fireplace and fall asleep. All except Zenix who keeps tossing and turning as he starts developing a bad headache. He eventually decides to just go take a walk and leaves the room….and as he passes by one of the hall mirrors instead of his reflection, we see the reflection of a tall man with silver hair, damaged armor, and a large scar over his eye….

And that’s it for part 1, will post more parts about this idea later!
