St. Mary Team
“I never collected anyone,” Menagerie retorts. “I didn’t even know about the summoning until I confronted Julian, the frogman, about it yesterday. And even then, I didn’t interfere with your battles against the Heart Eaters, even though I was ordered to.” Her hand comes up to touch the ring of dark bruises that circle the bottom of her throat, contrasting starkly with her skin.

Menagerie then takes off her hat, holding it close to her chest in front of her. “You want to know why I work for the River King?” She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly before continuing. “He has my mother’s soul,” she says, eyes hard as she looks at Goldheart.

“He keeps it hidden away in his treasure trove, deep within the Iron River. My mère is wasting away in a hospital bed, unable to move or speak. If I can get her soul back, she should recover, but if the King destroys it, she’ll die. I was hoping that if I assisted your team, then you would help me save my mère.”
