The Marina Legacy – Chapter 3.3 – Who?

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay of updates! I really far ahead in game now just because I’ve been busy this week and when i haven’t i can’t be bothered to update! So i think i might manage to scrape two or three updates out tonight!

After hours of screaming, Derick’s voice had gone. He had given up all hope of ever being let out of the pit he was being held in. He decided to do the only thing that might keep the ongoing pain and worry away, painting.

After work one evening, it was time for Yorath Ebony to grow up. He had told the rest of his family that his father had decided to leave the family home as he couldn’t stand all of the business and drama. They believed every word that came out of Yorath’s mouth and didn’t dream that their granddad was buried under the kitchen.

With his father trapped in the basement, and his mother dead, Yorath decided it was time to clean out their room for little Xiu Mei. As he walked into the room, he smiled thinking about his father in the smaller and more squashed replica of this room two floors below.

He heard the humming of his mother’s old computer. He sat down in the chair and wiggled to mouse, the screen flicked on and as he dragged the mouse towards the “Shut Down” option, the window open caught his eye. It was his father’s sent email box, but what really drew Yorath in was the sight of his own name. The last email his father sent was to iposey@simnet.com. The email’s subject was “Yorath isn’t telling”. Yorath quickly clicked on the email and tapped his foot on the floor whilst the page loaded, once it was completely loaded, he quickly started to read.

After he finished reading, he deleted the email, turned the computer off, and started to dismantle the room. He would have to wait till he was home alone before he took any action.

The next day, while everyone was out and Xiu Mei was asleep, Yorath went into the kitchen and opened the small trapdoor hidden under the tile. He then walked down 3 sets of metal steps before he arrived at a metal tight door. He opened the door and walked down another set of stairs.

Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, there was another locked trapdoor. He pulled a key from his pocket and took the lock off. He then looked into the hole in the floor. He couldn’t see his father, so he jumped down into the room.

He found his father on the floor in a stone vase. It appeared that the grim reaper had got to him before Yorath. Yorath has furious, his father had died holding the secret of who he had told about Xerxes.

Derick Marina was the dedicated wife of Zoey Nhadra Marina. He was key in the rebuilding of the family after the fire. He earned a heap loads of points for the family and loads of money. He was the first Marina to complete his LTW and earned LTH like there was no tomorrow. In his later life, he became isolated and careless which lead to his capture and early death. We will miss you!

Time flew by, and Xiu Mei’s birthday came around and went in a flash.

Graciela gave Xiu Mei extra lessons in logic, as her daughter loved learning and was always gaining skills.

Xenophilius found the Trilobite Beetle on the beech and quickly ran home to put it in a container.

Not a lot happened over the next few days, Graciela and Xerxes both celebrated their birthdays with the family and the house got on with their daily lives.

Xiu Mei would sometimes go to the library and study and read in peaceful quite.

Yorath played for tips in the park. He gained quite a lot of money now and was getting better at the guitar at the same time.

Xenophilius started writing novels as well as collecting.

Graciela took up jogging to the beach, playing a few games of chess and then jogging back home.

And Xerxes took up painting and exercising.

Xiu Mei’s birthday came by in a flash yet again and she grew into a beautiful teenager.

Now she was a teen, she got rid of Yorath’s over sized garden and started her own smaller garden.

When she wasn’t gardening, painting or reading, she would play chess with her mother to help her improve her logic.

Xerxes became a ladies man. He got his first kiss, the first of this generation, with a girl called Norma. Xenophilius never really thought about relationships, he had his bugs. Xiu Mei was incredibly nervous around boys and didn’t ever speak to them in school.

Xiu Mei’s garden grew a tiny bit every day but she kept it in good condition, tending it after school and before she did her homework.

Xenophilius caught the last of the beetles, the Stag beetle.

Xiu Mei started fishing as she enjoyed it and she could use the fish as fertilizers for her garden.

Xerxes celebrated his birthday a few days later and begun to think about what he wanted to do now he was a young adult.

He eventually decided he wanted to be a heartbreaker, and dumped Norma straight away. She didn’t take it very well.

Graciela kept working really hard on both her logic and athletic skill, doing both every day.
