Chapter 3: Press conference shenanigans
Scene: Lucius Arata is in his bedroom death staring into the mirror. A tear drops down his face.
Arata: Please…Please…. I can’t bare to die before I see it. The one thing I could never achieve… It’s cause we were too damn weak… DAMN IT ALL…… WE COULDN’T BEAT THAT DAMN MAN!!!!!!…I BELIEVE IT THOUGH…SOMEONE WILL GET IT… HE WILL BE MY SUCCESSOR AS THE GREATEST AND HE WILL BRING BACK THE BROASIAM!!!!… SOON ENOUGH I WILL ONCE AGAIN REIGN AS THE SUPREME EXPLORER OF THE WORLD…
Arata: *smirks. hm. Who am I kidding…
Bulletin: Surey, the head maid of the Arata Mansion was peaking through the door only to see her dear master of multiple years in a state of despair. The only thing she could think to herself at the moment was… He is out of his mind….
Narrator: The Broasiam. Nobody knows what it is or exactly how it’s found except for a squad called the Scavengers. This squad lead the exploring world for a very long time and they were incredibly close to finding the highly coveted treasure. The leader of this squad…Lucius Arata. As it stands, 5 men and 2 women are the only breathing people who know the exact journey towards this treasure. Although, an unwritten rule that all great explorers follow is to leave the biggest possible mystery to others. Although these 7 know about the path towards the Broasiam, they are most likely not willing to disclose any of the information regarding their journeys. Until now. Lucius Arata of the 7 is soon to host a press conference regarding a quest to this treasure…What lies ahead is the greatest mystery of them all…
Scene: Inside the WNO (World News Organization) Headquarters.
Bulletin: Julius Diamond called upon a meeting with the highest ranking media specialists. Among these men and women, there were those who excelled at causing controversy, reporting incidents in profitable ways and even those who were willing to commit crimes and tell lies if it meant buzz for the WNO.
Julius: As you all know by now, Lucius Arata, the incredibly influential explorer made a request to our organization regarding the Broasiam, a heavily coveted treasure that he and the Scavengers failed to find during their heyday. Before we begin our meeting, for the next week or so up until the press conference, I would like to keep this confidential. I know you lot are obsessed with causing a ruckus within society and will probably look for your own personal gain regarding this matter but, I request that you keep this within the WNO for the time being. Are we understood?

Shayla Drederick (Ward 2: Head of Business): Oh, come on Mr. Diamond. We are media. We love causing a stir. Keeping things confidential just isn’t in our blood. Plus this kinda thing can boom up the world of business.
Grayson McDreary (Ward 3: Head of International Affairs): The lady has a point Julius. Our foreign allies should be thrilled to hear about this. Allowing them to get the news early should help them set up aids for the quests.
Julius: You guys are the same as always. Regardless, you will be removed from your position immediately if you disclose anything until the press takes place. C’mon, you can’t wait another week?
Flora Cheadle (Ward 1: Head of Lifestyle): Of course we can dear. There’s no need to disclose anything regarding this currently.
Julius: I need the promise the most from you… Hunter.
Hunter Shelby (Ward 6: Head of Entertainment): Me? Well, I guess you have my word.
Julius: Good! Now let us begin.
Bulletin: The meeting took place for 2 hours and 37 minutes exactly. Lots of important matter were discussed and they came to an eventual conclusion regarding the process of the upcoming press conference.
Julius: We are now well aware that this Press conference will be the biggest in the history of the WNO. People haven’t heard from Lucius himself in several years. Next week, exactly 7 days from today at noon, I want the highest quality of work you have ever put in. We should be honoured a chance like this has been given to us. The WNO will be apart of the whole Quest for Broasiam and we will constantly give updates to audience regarding the journey of the participants.
Hunter Shelby: Well, I hate to admit, Julius but, looks like you may have found our organization a gem here.
Julius: Ha, He called and requested me. We cannot let this fail.
Hunter Shelby: Don’t worry, I won’t let this fail. After all, I run the Entertainment in Stalia. People will listen to what I put forth. The card is in our hands and it's safe to say, that it will be for the whole Quest.
Julius: Right, anyways, I’d like to thank you all for fitting the time into your schedules and attending this meeting. The WNO has a huge future ahead and we must fight to maintain our standing as the kings of the media world. You are all dismissed.
Bulletin: Just like that, the Press conference was set for the following week at noon. How things will transpire lies ahead…
To be continued….
