Everyone went to Zolzar's body and frowned.  "H̥ͦo̥ͦw̥ͦ ḁͦm̥ͦ I̥ͦ g̥ͦo̥ͦi̥ͦn̥ͦg̥ͦ t̥ͦo̥ͦ d̥ͦo̥ͦ t̥ͦh̥ͦi̥ͦs̥ͦ?" Asked Samael.  "ѕαмαєℓ, уσυ нανє αℓℓ σf υѕ, ιт'ℓℓ вє σк" stated Liza Split.  "ჄპႩႬ ႩႶჄ ტf ႮႽ will kპპႲ ჄტႮ ႮႶმპR ეტႶႠRტl likპ Ⴌპ მiმ" assured Skybrine.  Samael sighed and nodded in response accepting the help.  "B̶a̶r̶o̶n̶...

The group knew both Baron and Vizad were right so they all started investigating.  "тнє тσтєм ѕєємѕ тσ иσт вє нєяє" stated Liza split.  Skybrine noticed something in Zolzar's pocket.  "wႬႩႠ ႩႪტႮႠ ႠႬႩႠ?" Asked Skybrine.  Baron pulled it out and nodded a bit.  "ⓨⓔⓟ ⓘⓣ'ⓢ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓣⓞⓣⓔⓜ" added Baron.  "ṡȏ.... ẇһѧṭ Ԁȏєṡ ıṭ ċȏṅṅєċṭ ṭȏ?" Asked Talia.  Everyone looked over.

Asked Skybrine.  "ⓦⓐⓘⓣ ⓨⓔⓐⓗ!" Added Baron.  Everyone ran out following Baron before he stopped at one statue.  "ⓐⓝⓞⓣⓗⓔⓡ ⓝⓞⓣⓔ?" Asked Baron taking it from the statue.  "zσℓzαя'ѕ ℓєfт яι∂∂ℓєѕ?" Asked Liza split.  Baron opened the note and checked.  "ⓣⓘⓜⓔⓢ ⓡⓤⓝⓝⓘⓝⓖ ⓞⓤⓣ ⓘⓕ ⓨⓞⓤ ⓕⓞⓛⓛⓞⓦ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓗⓞⓤⓡⓖⓛⓐⓢⓢ" read Baron. 

The group looked confused.  "W̶a̶i̶t̶ w̶h̶a̶t̶?" Asked Vizad.  They were thinking but Talia remembered.  "ṡѧṅԀ һıṡ ṅє×ṭ ċʟȗє ıṡ ɞѧċҡ ıṅ єɢʏƿṭ" added Talia leading them there.  The group discovered another note and Talia took it before opening it up.  "Ԁȏ ṅȏṭ Ԁıṡṭȗяɞ ṃʏ ṡʟȗṃɞєя ȏя єʟṡє ı'ʟʟ Ԁєṡṭяȏʏ єṿєяʏṭһıṅɢ ɞʏ ғıяє..."

The group headed there and grinned a bit.  "H̥ͦe̥ͦr̥ͦe̥ͦ i̥ͦt̥ͦ i̥ͦs̥ͦ" added Samael grabbing it.  He opened the note.  "M̥ͦy̥ͦ

Asked Baron.  "ɬɧɛ ɱɛɖıɛ۷ąƖ ɛҳɧıცıɬ" stated Raef.  The group arrived there and started investigating.  Baron noticed Raef suddenly holding his head starting to get more physical then ghosty.

"ⓖⓤⓨⓢ ⓕⓘⓝⓓ ⓟⓐⓝⓓⓞⓡⓐ'ⓢ ⓑⓞⓧ, ⓗⓔ ⓑⓡⓞⓤⓖⓗⓣ ⓘⓣ ⓗⓔⓡⓔ" stated Baron.  "H̶o̶w̶ t̶h̶e̶ h̶e̶c̶k̶ d̶o̶ y̶o̶u̶...

She asked worried.  "ʂɛɛɱʂ ɬɧɛ ɛ۷ıƖ ơʄ ɬɧɛ ცơҳ ıʂ ʄıŋąƖƖყ ɬąƙıŋɠ ɧơƖɖ ơŋ ʝơɛყ, ῳɧıƈɧ ıŋ ɬųrŋ ąʄʄɛƈɬʂ ɱɛ, ცųɬ ı ɖơŋ'ɬ ƙŋơῳ ῳɧąɬ ıɬ'ƖƖ ɖơ ɬơ ųʂ... ɬɧɛ Ɩąʂɬ ۷ıƈɬıɱ ɬųrŋɛɖ ıŋɬơ ą ɠơrɠąŋ" responded Raef looking at Talia.  Talia hugged him saying "ʏȏȗ'яє ṅȏṭ єṿıʟ, ı'ṃ ṡȗяє ʏȏȗ ѧṅԀ jȏєʏ ɞȏṭһ ċѧṅ ҡєєƿ ʏȏȗя ṡѧṅıṭʏ".  The others returned with the box.  " Z̶o̶l̶z̶a̶r̶ l̶e̶f̶t̶ a̶ l̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ f̶o̶r̶ u̶s̶, i̶n̶c̶l̶u̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ R̶a̶e̶f̶ e̶v̶e̶n̶ t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ h̶e̶'s̶ n̶o̶t̶ a̶ p̶a̶w̶n̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶i̶s̶ k̶i̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ g̶a̶m̶e̶ " added Vizad. 

The group looked confused.  "ɱɛ, ɧıʂ ơῳŋ rı۷ąƖ?" Asked Raef confused.  Baron nodded to Vizad to pick up the letter.  "ⓛⓔⓣ'ⓢ ⓢⓔⓔ ⓦⓗⓐⓣ ⓣⓗⓔ ⓑⓛⓐⓒⓚ ⓡⓔⓐⓟⓔⓡ ⓛⓔⓕⓣ ⓕⓞⓡ ⓤⓢ" he said. 

(A/n: cliffhanger!  I'll be revealing what Zolzar was doing that he left the notes and moved the box next part.  But that minotaur needs to go dormant, hopefully that'll be handled too.  But still the big two questions.  Who killed Zolzar and who is the ultimate mastermind?  Hope you all enjoy).
