+A thief tells few stories —
+//<color #993333>"The first story is titled:\\
+'The Golden Apple? It doesn't have to go to the fairest."</color>//
+That city is named Paphas,\\
+Where the golden light of Mnestia shines.
+The Golden Apple Tree sits in the city's middle,\\
+Only the fairest can pluck its apples.
+The beauty pageant begins on time,\\
+As the fair ones stretch their supple arms,\\
+Trying to pluck the fruits above their heads.
+Yet every time the apples come within reach,\\
+A breeze blows the fruit away without a trace.
+The audience in displeasure disbands,\\
+With only one girl left standing there, her features bland —
+Yet to her surprise she finds,\\
+Her arms full of golden fruits, a harvest grand.

+//<color #993333>"The second story is titled:\\
+Trying to argue? Don't trick yourself, please."</color>//
+That city is named Idilia,\\
+Where Cerces' roots bury deep and wide.
+The sophist scholar holds a tortoise aloft,\\
+But his theories? Common sense bereft —
+//<color #efe4B0>"Even the best athlete\\
+could never catch up to this turtle."</color>//
+None can overturn him in arguments,\\
+And he obtains the champion's crown in merriment.
+Yet as he is about to leave,\\
+A wind blows the tortoise in front of him.
+And behold, his paradox becomes truth —\\
+To catch up to the turtle, an entire day and night he spends.

+//<color #993333>"The third story I will tell is titled:\\
+A competition in trickery? Who do you think is the grandmaster?</color>//\\
+That city is named Dolos,\\
+Where even Zagreus was once tricked.
+The king promises to reward the perfect lie,\\
+Wishing to recreate the deceit of the Titan, his grand feat.
+//<color #efe4B0>"I think the world is a gourd!"\\
+"In truth, we are already dead!"</color>//
+The liars take their turns in the challenge,\\
+But no one pleases the king.
+With a gust of wind, the girl emerges before the king's face.\\
+And when she leaves, she already has the king's promised gold in a pouch.
+The others are curious as to what lie she raised.\\
+//<color #993333>"Zagreus can only tell lies,\\
+And I am Zagreus."</color>//

+//<color #993333>"The fourth story is called:\\
+You like money? Good. But you must pay the price."</color>//
+That city is called Mythemis,\\
+Where the sea breeze intoxicates the people with delight.
+A wealthy penny-pincher prays to the Titan:\\
+//<color #efe4B0>"Please, give me the power to turn anything into gold!"</color>//
+With a breeze, the rock in his hand turns to gold.\\
+But his joy is fleeting to behold —\\
+For with once embrace, his wife turns into coins, scattered on the soil.
+He howls at Phagousa to retract the blessing\\
+But sees a girl in a hood in passing.
+The girl laughs hilariously, holding his hand in hers.\\
+//<color #993333>"Go back and check your vault.\\
+Some gold may be missing.\\
+But your beloved is right there, waiting.</color>//

+//<color #993333>"And **we** want to hear... Your fun stories!"</color>//[(Spoken by Tribbie.)]
+The girl with the hood dangles her feet in the bath,\\
+As two coins dance and fly between her fingers.
+//<color #993333>"Basically, I visited four places.\\
+Tricked them to my heart's content... And came back fully rewarded."</color>//
+The girl pauses her words and looks out the window,\\
+As the light above the Titan's shoulder casts her right cheek aglow.
+//<color #993333>"The dawn will never cease, and the Thief Star wanders in foreign lands.\\
+How would you know that I am not lying right now?"</color>//
