Evan has weighed his decision carefully. He finds himself a bit curious and he loves everything historical...maybe this spirit or deity can be persuaded to let him stay for a little while. It can't hurt to try, right?

Mysterious Voice: "You have returned...most interesting."
Evan: "Please don't kill me! I never asked to be here, I was just...here when I woke up. I don't want to die!"
Mysterious Voice: "Kill you? No, you amuse me little sorcerer. I have decided that you may stay, for now. It has been many years since one of your kind has set foot on my island."
Evan: "Well that's a relief! Err, the first part anyway. So...do you have a name? Something I can call you?"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pHe4PD-1mupS_-hyfSq9tr--so3-UvkN5JlUTSruMgRJkWK9ipCcDns86vJrJ06iiaZ9TV8fSc4buwj77HXgD8UsX6zNSg9y6YiGfgDETzJcGTe-duQkgcku2YTdVdmrw/Screenshot-35.jpg
Mysterious Voice: "Have a seat and we will talk."
Evan: "There doesn't seem to be anywhere to sit..."
Mysterious Voice: "Turn around."
Evan: "Oh. How did you do that?!"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pbZrUlyf2QbOJRkDkN-gpY3hXAyMTwJKMgL6xgFIny0s1zwxn4wEm0sC30rnqJ9WJrFomkNzYB4bV1PcAbptyNlqj4Va2WUvb91CRd6TuwzpnLp6jk2JYmfBMv58hn4v8/Screenshot-36.jpg
Mysterious Voice: "I was once a sorcerer like you until I became trapped in this stone head. You may call me Cuauhtemoc."
Evan: "Nice to meet you Cuauhtemoc, so you were sorcerer once? You don't seem to have lost your power."
Cuauhtemoc: "It is a long story...perhaps I will tell you sometime. I am the protector of this island now, and you have taken something from me. What do you think I should do about that?"
Evan: "Err, the grapes? I am very sorry I didn't mean to make you angry! I can..uhh, plant more to replace what I took!"
Evan was hardly a green thumb but if it kept Cuauhtemoc's wrath at bay...
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pPoNsWkBHJeYNOpYKakcLxMeAQsZTwrzdAfjX3EOuvqWk7wNmXiH5JAsqJPvC_v0KJQu0Ltvp9mUomsIRP229frLAcR_vESNukCrSl32RELPEsK61PMCW7bboiD9KyEm4/Screenshot-37.jpg
Cuauhtemoc: "You may be able to help me in another way...if this is true than I will forgive you. First, show me your magic sorcerer. I would know your strength."
Evan was pretty awesome at magic by now, at least he thought so. Maybe start small though. He's pretty smug about it, it should be easy right?
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pvoQCtra6JUUlqliJ2pOzYy4bFXLhc9XzFHgu40yxzWI0be63W-cAQLBjjoPNeMxjjVh4wNpvkqSYmgivQAzlGaNd-0GQoruiyQOKKCWuRunPqYskfwG-E0g3ru2ZzoD8/Screenshot-38.jpg
Evan: "Fair enough, how about this?"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pUHpBRcqP8s4lpvyjz9xszEgnhLkT4YXNNcMJjP9b6ez7tXAt1x7Vfw8Kfkr7sY1JmH2UPC_Viil-J_xf2RSVVORvWtm96h3Y6FjZF1R3rrL3OtvXmwd-idJ4VfoUhPvi/Screenshot-39.jpg
Cuauhtemoc: "An apple? A fine trick...but that is hardly impressive."
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pG27Q2nyUN9QZ5eor7XWQWx2upDRbvQzDVelNxpzGioI_5fejOyYJIjFItYX-Vn8-fBL8GYvoVh--09mYI940eMwgjfqrAeSzRmKW0yYbJRulIFqejoyNNkHKRPSHHTtN/Screenshot-40.jpg
Evan set the apple in front of Cuauhtemoc so he could see it...which he guesses he could somehow. Time for a little changeroo!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pUd3FkR8009jhEj74Uyo2ftzah1EPnwWt4wZ2H_lo0IfzDLdjXkfiQ9fNDKrngsIe3vd5sfjnwMds8X4S1oh4ktE-EBY_xFPWCGRhd6nI8HP47XuDqafdBuPD_CtVoxQc/Screenshot-41.jpg
Or...not. His magic has failed him! How embarrassing! :oops:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pOvX39HRUrQeE9c0cqEgAj8Hr1ZlvHBk8DCvczoS4Jb4HiqFZsGTCAh2cRwp2ayxUh2ifL4FVdkh_6qXjqKaCvI0pHFeUjYRWNMnyFPAaFlicvXzOuTt5uRtnxvtR-aHm/Screenshot-42.jpg
Cuauhtemoc: "Ha ha ha! You have a lot to learn little sorcerer, but you have great potential. I will give you a chance, you may prove useful after all."
Evan: "Ugh, thanks. It should have worked. So...what did you need help with anyway?"
Cuauhtemoc: "Practice your magic sorcerer, what I crave is to be free of this prison and you do not have the strength to help me, yet."
Evan: "What about in the meantime? Is it alright if I uhh...borrow some food? Those grapes didn't last very long."
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pxk-GUMrYe1y4pVWvTXLZwT5nbeHlPvo7XrNLibBsSrMR9-ozdIYDTGqjXLaItyA1qStZaOSJm_wpuA1_6nyMuyU-P2r5CQWqH7T5Eax9Mp1zUEoNDTkyTE2Q5JylRy_o/Screenshot-44.jpg
Cuauhtemoc: "You have an apple right there before you, perhaps start with that?"
Evan: "Good point, say you don't happen to know what a fishing pole is do you?"
Cuauhtemoc: "I cannot create that which is not of this island, you may find what you seek in that pile of junk that you found earlier."
Evan: "Wait, so you saw all of that there? I thought you were stuck here in this head."
Cuauhtemoc: "I cannot see as you do, it is difficult to explain. Now leave me, I must rest. I have spent much energy talking to you."
Evan: "Very well then, I will see you in the morning if I'm still alive that is."
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pamfMa9CkEBX6Nu0Req-3euuATejO2zHsmyKD3tf5YstZF14NGNrXgu_65sPhrPaCKkNwIrCqG9hTSMe9F4pKG9Fl_pIGlcfODKQ6or5dfSlXSqSLJeTHLElqlU0qxmno/Screenshot-43.jpg
Famous last words? Evan thought he heard something in the bushes behind him! :shock:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2peTFnJfm-Ec4q8NqBObSRJ5d6S5TYelNhqe52oDcOHQXDNrQz45OvdRntFnQsmV_70S9Wp0fY16aQHw-okTnKieWfplt_z-w31FoBznaskF9UI6XLUoRiOZZxgcyJZOb8/Screenshot-45.jpg
The good news is that he did find a fishing pole. There was a little problem putting it together, but he managed it eventually. Time to get some real food!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2ppHnu5PlyLMK1Ylymud68xgbFbw6Il7gKGTodXc19ow_-CCSEDOM8g8KkPgm1McP2oZmfY4Pwj8_u3e0cgMPaGodeCOXANKngwMNLtVN9_IJiWzmWPup6g65VRhakVffa/Screenshot-47.jpg
Evan hasn't fished since childhood, it was a miracle that he still had it in him! Hopefully he could catch a little something to go with his apple.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p1wVlJm5lYtArC--ceyf9gh8Lh7ls0ppYtSXrFdlA_-jV8H-8Zuq1j19FjrAz2MpKyzjS_z8BlQzDUGF732jCGIgKTmOfBlBZ7Dk05MxkbcVbTA8Tb8q8PUKpVJttTp6Q/Screenshot-46.jpg
Aha! He's got something!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2poMh8x_WwyfVN6u2lkQJC0cdIWHWbYe-XW5v4FgAVnkxy2G-3Xdu5TgCr7SFEF2XmmMtNg18Dj316TIEZ66RtfmuIQWUwmOtB-ZjWu17VESl_E2ZW_78Hh-yzgZTBcpqJ/Screenshot-49.jpg
But whatever he had took the bait and left the hook, strike one!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pnZS72-7-1pGIjnHaVZvLrwh5PL021s8CXmx1Y3xzMKVu0NpOvqeHt74a9vyOl1v0rof_ipV-f_Jp7NFNI0jFDTHN05NJGkYBmOSzholDkHH6t9ls8wdEB6rXiqJ76_Du/Screenshot-50.jpg
Oho, what's this? Finally he has something. It's...small.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pO3J1UW96KB977sLM1OkFMnLCBRnTWdnDbMhOGcqNF44MS6JC3rkBIUufh7JIfDnwVyZZXBzc8gP9rMS7y7dC6lsPNrmen9MtqWCICrOyo1QfcijII2aKTfq_pCURr7qd/Screenshot-51.jpg
The humble Anchovy. Well...it will have to do because it's getting really dark.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pn5ajtTCfHBN14sHpLZMGCezpwGXrWjHWA4YVRf4Sd9m1W4TUlnnZyQYdqxRy_oPZbqvgJ8Z8E_1kvc9oRvn_7S391zSviP9omB3NLKkFlA2oCa5DybAUCvSppHzWfug6/Screenshot-52.jpg
Evan has a terrible headache, but he presses on! He needs to gather some firewood so he can cook his little morsel.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p5_mOgNhdhsD1SDCHq5mrc9U7xl1N9hoRJFwrzgnzlWu6AbB5Z9BH5XD8J2ZQndmfnUHJlCJUsUNbNMpGxogZhNO2krqUxS4TN9q6y2Dr_TLEy-Xlf2Flq7W35wNyFS2S/Screenshot-53.jpg
Now for the easy part, lighting the fire!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pWnUrd5hzr-Ad7PMq6zGkwi76NdZocHUdejl0jWOjSJPQur2HXOsEmQNsvPs819zKHWzZg7Grejd-JUd-VtsTRXpt1KJlhzUPL1odW7x5wd2lSU9STbUpjcZbPlLhmABh/Screenshot-54.jpg
Ahh, toasty warm! :D
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pNPgJjWsveDP0-Jvp7Q4IbFekKxOV7ERtsqAjrjZLOjYicoIT9ah6cLah4dKEtJYtnhBwM2lT-EW0mIbSwiRGYH_vEThlrvOa7U6-gz_m4Ojl6pBssMiHj6mh0k27jyUO/Screenshot-55.jpg
He's done it several times before...but he can't help himself. He has made...FIRE! 8)
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pW0hFzxOiXpZ4J8ELf0dz9LqJ5pIi71QWIlZh2DWeBFwrpFgKlTdbsflOLSFvJNjiyQZU3YQ1ExUg0D_LvjPU_MHvae2VeQAsTA2Kustt4Mjh4CUwB9eWVC6r4JUdkl72/Screenshot-56.jpg
Evan's anchovy looks a bit bigger than he thought when he starts cooking it, he's pretty handy at grilling so it turns out just right.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pc_sQvKAMzJiWkluGK24VSqE-RfiDYnKfkgLAiEEBJKmsDkYxpr7ybahZcI0Q85rz9ppzUCpsnWPpDjYqG1NoNtSTVbO7MVyNF-R6DYXUCCjIHtx0zhMzHP3j0AGrnia_/Screenshot-57.jpg
He finishes his meal of anchovy con apple quickly, no more grumbling tummy! :mrgreen:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p-zfL31J6MYNbV5rHI2QfZluAj-VmKr_DvVkxT8IUgrNjKax5LbSuNksZdi5NyW21cYZlT_1RV8PjU0fafNi6OPXxwQ0hmb7aG7Dc6xn-RzhPf1-Y_xATlj7XpthZjOuG/Screenshot-58.jpg
He takes a moment to put out his little camp fire before bed time.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pNuOyaX2v0kbjwn4zw9dq8cVlT_TRU0CrOuWQum1yjLS15p2pEo3_lCqwNaYaW8NPRH4LMrPbQgd8scAam6olmJeF9OexEQpcvrx4K3te2pWmWP6DlNftvOs0Xz3P9t-s/Screenshot-59.jpg
But he's got no where to sleep, so he conks out on the ground. He's going to be sore in the morning! :lol:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pKYiGePP1MuFEs7TqTjCHCqq8ZAkJCo3rB5EIky-NMu7OmejXYrs6R1P-uSW_4fwZ1b35szQIXOkAgTalRNiET45RgGj381VYB-vZLwlYbcq9qcAtejhoSfvA8ZfXjBcn/Screenshot-60.jpg
He couldn't have been stranded in a more beautiful place though, despite the crazy talking head sorcerer guy. Evan enjoys a calming lullaby of water splashing up on the shore and crickets chirping. Nighty night!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pBqXyky9Wtw_tHcbi0z79zj6c2jEzmqGMPYaAe1Ethgn3T-vjp69pxnc0IwHxWTMhkF7lvu8xn_8RFTMKN1In4zBMIopeHxmJ0hsOmg0CnOlWFCOvAn6H9qhKkaOIy0P2/Screenshot-62.jpg
Cuauhtemoc isn't such a bad guy after all, he may even be able to help Evan get off of the island safe and sound! It may all hinge on his ability to free Cuauhtemoc from his stony prison, because otherwise he might be doomed. Only time will tell, maybe he'll be found by some passing fisherman before then and he'll have to choose between leaving Cuauhtemoc behind or staying and trying to help him become whole again. Hmm? :shock:
