《Blue Road》Episode 11 (Part 2)

The trio looked around for a nice refreshment in the meantime. They found a small, fast-food restaurant called The Hungry Scarf. A compact area where the brown and white checkered floor clashed with the beige-colored walls. An attendant with orange hair stood in front of the counter providing service.
Fawn asked for a drink as well; she explained that some ghosts can still drink and feel objects from the touch of their hand. As Richard looked over the menu, his stomach grumbled at the selections they had. He shrugged and figured he’d order something for himself as well. The attendee didn’t know what to think about the large order from this single person, but didn’t question it either, since it’s part of her job. The group took a small table from the corner near a window sill and sipped on their beverages.
Fawn looked around and didn’t see anybody else present in the area. “Did we come too early? Where is everybody?”
“Perhaps it’s closing time?” Ashley pondered.
“Let’s not worry about that now.” Richard reminded them. “Right now, we’re going to discuss the disappearance of Ashley’s parents.” He slammed his hands on the table. “Let’s get started, shall we?”
“Alright!”
“The slamming is unnecessary.” Fawn pointed out.
“Even the smallest of details can help,” Richard mentioned, ignoring Fawn’s comment earlier. “First off, do you know the names of your parents?”
“Nope,” Ashley said.
“Great start,” Fawn uttered with sarcasm.
Richard glared at Fawn briefly before clearing his throat and calming down. “Ok, do you at least know what they look like?”
Ashley cocked her head a bit. “Well, let me see if I can remember...”
“You mentioned that I met one of them already, so...”
“I’m pretty sure one is a blonde, and the other is a brunette.”

“So, by process of elimination,” Fawn said, “Would your parents happen to be Ken and Kelly?”
“I’m not sure, I don’t remember their actual names.” Ashley shrugged.
“Do you at least know where they live?” Richard asked.
“Not in particular,” Ashley murmured. “But, I know people that can help us, I just need to find them.” She got up from her seat. “Is it alright if I go to the bathroom?”
“Oh, well, do you want me to accompany you?” Richard asked.
“No thanks, I’m good.” She replied and left for a moment.
Richard sighed and rested his elbow on the table. “That girl sure is lively.”
“Yeah, I’ll say,” Fawn added.
“Hey, do you think it’s true?”
“What is?”
“Not only are those two married, but they have a child?” He rested his hands on his chin. “Why haven’t they mentioned her beforehand though?”
“Perhaps they didn’t need to discuss it, not even near your—”
“But something isn’t right.” Richard interrupted. “I remember Kelly and I were at the bar the other day, talking about our problems and feelings. But did those fights she had with Ken have anything to do with Ashley?”
“I’m not sure,” Fawn replied, crossing her arms. “I mean, she can’t even remember their names.”
“Well, maybe she has a bad memory? You don’t know that.”
“I guess so.”
The two waited for Ashley to return, but she had taken a while. Fawn excused herself and headed off to go search for her. When she reached the room, she found the stalls empty. She flew around, her eyes darting around. Where could she have gone? Fawn left the place to search for her whereabouts.

Rise of a Rogue Dungeon
Following the unfortunate, or fortunate birth of a Dungeon, in the world Ilyeus where Dragons claim the skies. Titans wander the world. Drakes boast their majestic pride. Wyrms sleep beneath the earth. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beast-kin, and many other sapient races mingle amongst each other, for good or bad. Gods descend among mortals with their Divine Vessels. The Dungeon treads unrestricted by the links other Dungeons have. Down a path never walked by any other Dungeon in the world of Ilyeus. Down, A Path of Freedom! A Path of Dominance! A Path of a Savior! A Path that would make Spirits shudder in fear! But first, it must survive, expand, evolve, and create an army that would do its bidding. This is my first time writing something like this, so if you see any grammar or spelling errors, pointing them out would be appreciated. Any constructive criticism is also appreciated! My update schedule is currently as I write them. So that means every time I finish writing a chapter, I will post it after it gets edited. I also release a chapter of A Lone Automaton's Journey To Find Its Operator infrequently as a side thing.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
