Me and Celeste were helping Jack walk on his leg which was healing nicely when Cheryl came in

"Hey Cheryl what do you need?" I asked Celeste was confused why Cheryl was here so was I

"Well I hire Arch and his team to dig up the palladium on this continent sits beneath my maple groves. So I can  harvest the precious metal before Hiram Lodge steals it. And I was thinking if you can help."

"Uh I don't think so." Said Celeste

"Sure why not."

"Eden"

"Splendid see you there." I turned to Celeste

"Now let me explain."

"Eden you've never done that job before it's dangerous."

"I'll be fine plus if it's to keep Hiram from getting it then what's the harm." She sighs. At the spot we were all getting ready when

"Ready to do this, boys?"

"Hell yeah, I can smell the palladium from here."

"Halt! Before you go forth, I would like to offer my blessing as ministress. Please gather around and join hands."

"You know, uh, I'm not really religious.

"Keep an open mind, Fangs."

"To our brother Divine, in entering this dark cavity, help keep our strapping muckmen safe from harm and danger. And let their great labors lead to even greater riches. Amen."

"Amen."

"Amen."

"All right, in we go." I sighed and man was work hours later we took a break man was I hungry

"Hey, where's Kev?"

"He said he wasn't hungry, so he just kept on digging."

"What? No. No one works in the mines alone."

"Arch." I go after him

"Kevin!"

"Kev, you in here?" I shout

"Kev?"

"Kev!"

"Archie!"

"Arch!"

"Kevin, you can't stay back alone."

"Look what I found."

"It's a maple miracle." We went to show Cheryl

"Well done, Archie. Eden. I'd suggest a celebratory toast, but I know you boys have to get right back to it."

"Have you guys ever heard of "The Mothmen"?"

"Yeah. Jug was investigating them. I saw some of his sketches, but they're just a hoax, right?"

"Maybe. There were some stories from the truck drivers who worked in the mines when they were open. And every so often, they'd talk about these humanoid creatures that lived underground with big red eyes to absorb as much light as possible. Not to mention, they were cannibalistic." I rolled my eyes

"Okay, that's enough storytelling. Let's get back to work." Man this is hard at work when suddenly Arch ran like hell out. Which was odd.
