 +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>//

 +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>//

 +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>//
