After another sleepless night, Aesop made a plan . He would write a letter to that hunter expressing his concerns and asking if he was okay, and he would carry it in his makeup kit at all times in case he meets this strange hunter once again. After crafting this idea at 2 AM in the morning, Aesop spent hours trying to find the right words, and by 5 AM, he had finished. The letter wrote:
Dear Mr.Photographer,
I am sorry that I have to disturb you by writing this letter, but I just wanted to ask if you were ok. I saw that you were in a bad state last match, and I could see the expression on your face that you had something on your mind. So sorry again for wasting your time, and I hope that you can reply soon.
Best Regards,
Aesop Carl
finally, the letter was done. Aesop then sealed the note in and envelope and put a wax stamp on it. While waiting for the wax to dry, Aesop eagerly got himself ready for the day, and put the letter in his makeup bag in case he would meet the photographer today. He slipped on his mask and went downstairs for breakfast determined to go into as many matches as he can to find the photographer. He signed up for as many matches as he could and went to the dining hall to eat.
As he waited impatiently for the matches, he paced the living room and the halls back and forth.
"What's up Aesop, why are you looking so tense all of a sudden? Is everything okay? You usually don't look so stressed and pace around like this, please do tell me what's wrong.." Helena asked in a worried tone.
By now, Aesop had made some more friends, and he was now closer to the Seer (Eli) and Helena ( the mind's eye)
"I thought you were blind? But yes, I'm alright, thank you." Aesop said nonchalantly.
"I'm blind, yes, but I can still sense many things around me, and I can hear your shoes clacking loudly on the floor." Helena stated as-a-matter-of-factly.
Aesop stopped pacing because it was already time to join the matches, so he rushed off the the match lobby to get prepared.
At the end of the day, Aesop still did not meet the photographers and only met Geisha, The Ripper, Bloody Queen, Evil reptilian, The breaking wheel, and Naiad. Aesop was still determined, so he did the same thing on the next morning. This happened for 2 more days, and Aesop was getting tired. His teammates noticed that he was distracted and very weak, and everyone told him to go take a rest, but he did not listen. He was going to find that hunter no matter how many rounds it took. He needed to know.
After the second day, he decided to give up, but he was still determined, so he signed up for only the late evening round to let himself get some rest and to regain himself. A the hours passed by, Aesop just laid in bed, discouraged from all the past matches
It was to be this time I'm sure of it. I'm sure I'll find a way. Aesop thought to himself.
