'Worthy this is a very bad idea! I mean hugely bad idea. Why are you going to her for help? She kicked your butt the last time you met, what makes you think she'll help now.' I thought. Maybe so, but I needed her help. I had lost Talon and if I didn't get Talon back, King would probably kill me.
'No this is the only option I have left. All of the other Redcloaks are on other missions and Talon is captured. This is the only option I have left.' I shook my head thinking, just as the boat landed on the docks to Greenhaven. I jumped from the crows nest to the ground and landed on my feet silently, making sure no one saw me.
'Well here goes nothing. Time to get help from a former enemy: The keeper.' I though as I jumped off the ship onto the docks.

       "I thought Diana would've been back by now!" Desta said as we waited by the sea. She sat down next to me exasperated, the Keepers birthday present in her hand. The Keeper had just recently went on a mission for Mustela, and she said she'd be back before her birthday. However it was her birthday and she still wasn't back.
Needless to say Olvan, Lenori and Mustela looked out to sea worriedly. Mustela worried for a much different reason. Probably hoping the Keeper got his wares back in one piece.
"Look there it is!" Desta alerted me from my thoughts. She pointed out where we saw The Eagle coming into shore. The ship landed gracefully and the Keeper stood up at the dock silhouetted against the sun. She walked up to Olvan with a bag in her hand.
"Here you go Mustela, five bags of Niloan Coffee. Cause you and I both know how much Olvan likes his Coffee."
That's when we noticed something was off with her. Her speech was slurred and her eyes were halfway closed and a glazed look had replaced her piercing blue gaze. She even swayed as she stood in front of Olvan.
"Keeper those wares are mine and you know it, so don't give it to Olvan!" Mustela said. The Keeper just turned to him with a silly grin in her face.
"Oh Lenori, you want Coffee too? Well we're going to both have to wait cause Olvan seems to drink like... 50 cups of it a day. So weeee're both gonna have to wait." She giggled a little bit.
Emilia and Nico had walked up to us and were watching this scenario unfold too. I looked at them both.
"Did you do something to the Keeper?" I asked. They both shook their heads no. I thought this is the second time she came back like this. If anything she got bitten by that same spider again.
"I don't care what she got bitten by. But we need to find whatever did this... and use it to help Rollan with his next prank." Nico said and we all shot a glare at him. He just shrugged.
"Hey umm excuse me?" A voice said behind me. I turned to a boy in a red cloak and a white wildcat mask. We all looked at him weirdly.
"Yeah who are you?" Nico asked.
"I'm Worthy and I kinda need the Keepers help." He said. We weren't sure if he was trouble or not but I pointed to where the Keeper was talking with the three elders. More like giggling hysterically on the floor while they just stared at her in disbelief.
"Thanks." Worthy said and began walking out of the bushes.
"Careful though, Keeper's not in the best of moods. More like a bit... crazy right now." Emilia said, making the crazy circle with her finger around her head. Worthy nodded and walked towards the four.
"Dang he fine." Desta said checking out Worthy. I just facepalmed and we watched the scene unfold in front of us.

                       Worthy

I walked up to the group of three people standing around in Greenhaven. The three big heads of Greenhaven: Olvan, Mustela, and Lenori. What were they all here for?
When I got there I noticed what was wrong. The Keeper was acting crazy and Lenori was trying to calm her down.
"Oi who are you?" Mustela said, his spirit animal, a weasel on his shoulder. Both Olvan and Lenori looked at me questioningly.
"My name is Worthy and I've come to ask for the Keeper's help." Before anyone could speak, the Keeper stood up.
"If you have a message, press one or just wait for the tone. To send a numerical press 5. Beep." She was laughing her head off. I had never seen her like this. At least not when I was Devin. That's when I noticed the bite on the side of her neck. It was bleeding and had turned a sickly purple green.
I checked her forehead and my suspicions had been confirmed. A new spider had recently entered Nilo and had caused a lot of the inhabitants to go crazy. The venom faded from them yes, but then they realized what they had done and usually resulted in death. It was never good. They called it the Joker spider.
I tried covering the bite in her neck but nothing seemed to be working. And she seemed to be just getting crazier.
"Woah there. If you were going to kiss me, you could've just said so." Diana said to me. I held her at arms length and realized if we didn't get her an antidote, she would get crazier and probably take all of Greenhaven with her.
"Look Keeper, you need help. You've been bitten by a spider and need healing." I told her, but seemed to have no impact on her.
"No I'm a strong girl and don't need help." She sputtered out. I had enough of this. I turned her to face me and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"By telluns antlers you need healing!" I shouted. She just walked up to me, got real close and spoke.
"And you're sexy." Her eyes rolled up to her head and she collapsed into my arms. Underneath the mask, I could feel myself blushing. I helped Lenori to the medical wing and then waited outside to see how the Keeper was doing.
