Welcome to town, Avra. I'm here to bother, here for the greater
good of Crypti Kai. I guess you didn't tell them everything. Then it's
not a bad idea. Okay. I think we're gonna need a change of
plans. Season five, episode ten, Farewell from Water's Edge. You have
to hide. There's nowhere to hide under our desk and go out the window
something. Oh god, lovel what have you got yourself into. It's never
supposed to be like this, or you're never supposed to be dictators. Who
is it? I need to speak to the High Council. It's urgent.
Please offers here. Why are you here? Please just give me an audience
five minutes with your counsel and all. The rest of the council is not
preparing our early exit, so it is true. Yes, I'm afraid you
can only make your appeal to me, although I'm not sure I could do
anything about it. Come in, you have the floor. Before we discuss
anything important, I need to know. Are you connected to the others you're
asking if they'll know about this conversation. Yeah. No, In fact,
they've shut me out for most of their collective thoughts. Besides, it appearances.
Ever since my stunt during the election announcement, I've been cut off from
them. Why did you do that? Well, I was asked to represent
them at the election meeting, So I mean the honesty. You told us
the truth. At least I think it was the truth. Unfortunately it is.
I was involved in the creation of the conduit that created the shroud.
We've tested it on smaller scales hundreds of times, and there is nothing that's
been able to remove it. I thought putting it up would be a good
decision. I thought it would save us, that cryptids would be grateful.
Cryptids are not a monolith. I see my errors now. Unfortunately, there's
no way to fix what has already been done. How much can I trust
you? Completely? But I imagine you need something more concrete than that.
A bit mm hmm. Maybe I can offer something to convince you. What
happened to it? What's supposed to be in there? The conduit? Oh
no, did the rest of them already depart? No? They couldn't have
left me here, could they. I have to find them. I can't
be late. Wait, ow, who's there? It's me? It's me?
Sorry? Uh, I am oh shit? Hold on, Ben let
go of the disguise over the pixie girl. Holy shit, Juliette, you
were gonna get yourself killed one day, says the one who walked into the
High Council's office alone. What were you about to do, Avrea? Just
give yourself up? Not exactly. I had a plan. I do want
to help you, but I have to find out what's going on. If
the Council's are friend to leave without me, oh, they're probably still here
because I have this. Oh my god, what were you even going to
do with that? I don't know. Keep it what? It will give
you leverage over the rest of the council. It's impossible to replicate, but
it still can't remove ours. No, I'm afraid not. But if there's
something that could, I have already told you there's no way to me I
can remove it. Excuse me, what do you mean? I don't know
why. But if I touch it, wherever I make contact, it's burned
away. It burns me too, though badly. If I wanted to make
a sizeable enough gap for people to be able to escape, I could,
But no, no, no, no way am I letting you do that
off. I wasn't planning to It is very much a last, last,
last resort. But you're able to interrupt the shroud. That's I I've never
seen anything like that, any idea. Why. I haven't the slightest clue
you are human? Maybe no, we've had other humans try it to no
effect. Then I'm not sure how such a thing could work, unless could
you be a vessel? What, Juliet, You guys have to get out
of there? The High councils out front? Shit? Huh? Are they
prepared to leave already? Lizzy and the gang have them stopped outside? What
do we do? Take the condwoin, use it as leverage, break it
if you have to buy some time and maybe I can figure something out with
this new information about you human? But what if no more time? For
what ifs? Come on, Jules, what's the High counsel? Remember a
lavo? It's a long story, No time, We've got to stop them.
Come on? Was that Hannah? It was? And she has a
spell that could take down the shroud? Yes? But and you weren't going
to tell me, Sybil it'll kill you? She said it might. She
was being generous. If you tried it, it would end you, maybe
even before you could manage to take down the whole thing. I knew it.
I knew you never thought I was powerful enough. That is not what
this is about. Then why didn't you tell me? Because even if you
knew the consequences, you would do it anyway. Well, I think you're
incredibly powerful. You may become more powerful than Hannah ever was. You've been
able to match some of her abilities after practicing for just a fraction of the
time she did. Maybe one day you would be able to take down the
shroud and live. But that's not today. But it has to be today.
The town is dying and the High Council is about to go do this
to every other cryptid town on the map. Even if we wait, even
if I get stronger, What if I can only do it once? If
it results in your death. I never want you to do it, but
it would be my death. It's my decision to make. I can't lose
you. It's taken me so many years to find you to be able to
love again. What about everyone else? Fuck everyone else? Let me be
selfish just this once. I need you. Please, you won't get to
keep me. The High Counsel is gonna take you away. That won't end
your life. You won't have a life if you're their prisoner. Then let
me make that sacrifice. No, why should you get to throw yourself into
the fire when I have a chance at not only saving you, but saving
every Cryptid who will be forced to live under these bubbles. I could fix
everything. You shouldn't have to God, damn it. What you are ready
to depart? Wait already? But I haven't, Sibil. No, Wait,
you can't just leave us like this. Our town is falling apart.
We're going to run out of utility soon. What are we supposed to do
when we don't have fresh water? We have done our part. It is
time for instant Actually, before you go, Anna, what a surprise,
I love? What are you doing? What I should have done a long
time ago? People of Water's Edge, the High Council always knew the shroud
was to be permanent, and they had no intention of ever giving the Crypti
public a choice in the matter. I see the errors of our ways now
and regret the decision that we've made to my core. But I believe,
with the help of a Nunez, I found a way to solve this and
remove the shroud. If I'm given just a bit of time. I can
it's happening to him. He is paying Stop you're killing him, Oprah Shiah
frezy. Oh my god, this is terrifying. What the fuck is happening?
I don't know. Let me see him. There is nothing you can
do for him. His mind is being destroyed from the inside out. Why
are you doing this? He disobeyed us, He's he's gone of He said
you were part of a backup plan. Did he tell you what it was?
What an excellent question, devil, and a lovely excuse to finally rid
ourselves with this inssion. True, she's not the only human you'll have to
get rid of. And I'm not going down without a fight. Oh out
charming? Well true? To kill over our dead fucking bodies that can be
arranged as well. You can't do anything without this Jewels. Be careful,
yes, jewels, he very careful with that, because that's a very special
object. I am aware. Are you aware of how difficult it was to
create, how many souls were lost in its process, how many decades it
took our top scientists to craft such a powerful item. Because if you were
fully aware, we would think you would understand what we would do if it
would be damaged. The wrath we would exact on the perpetrator would not be
swift. We would take our time, torturing you, slowly, breaking bones
and mending them up just to part them again, ripping skin, pulling teeth,
making your suffer craw the annoyance you've caused us. So with that in
mind, please come over here and hand us the card. It like the
good little girl. You are absolutely fucking not. You will not talk to
my mentee like that. You've seen a phobic piece of garbage. Brave words
for someone who can't defend herself. Oh, there's plenty of us who will
gladly help with that. You will act like you have such power. You
are fools. We know so much, we see so much. We know
exactly how this will end because no one can stop us. Did you see
this? No? No, holy shit, was that a bad move?
I'm not sure, but you insolent girl. You will pay you for what
you've done. Juliette, get behind me. Everyone in this town will pay.
We will stay here for hundreds of years if we must, and making
each and every last one of you suffer while the world is lost to you.
You dare betray us and now you are trapped here with us forever.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, Sybil. Hey, I'm about to
do something very stupid, but I think it's our only option. Wait,
what what are you talking about? I love you of tell Lucinda and Reese
I love them too. Wait what do you mean, Sybil? What are
you gonna? High Counsel? What Hanna sends her regards Sybil? No,
oh my god, Avra Kenny, what happened? She figured out the spell?
Alvraa. It's going to kill her. We have to stop her.
How Look the shroud's starting to come down. Who WHOA? The High Counsel
is gonna try to stop her. They can't, not with the magic swelling
around her. Maybe she can do it. No, it's just too much
magic. She can't take in all that energy. Anything we can do.
We would need something for her to channel the magic into, some sort of
vessel or wait, vessel. Alavo called a vessel. He did. He
thought I might be Wait, Kendy, if I'm a vessel, could she
channel the power through me? In theory, yes, but I've never seen
it. Av No. We thought what the shroud did to you, that
much of it would incinerate you, not necessarily by passing through Sybil. The
energy is being purified. You truly are a vessel. There's a chance it'd
be fine. How much of a chance, Shaia? She's my sister.
I have to try to save her. But I just I can do this.
I'll come back to you in one piece, I promise. I love
you. I love you too. No, don't, Sybil. How'd you
get here? I think you let me in, which I appreciate because for
a second I thought I would just burn to a crisp in your little magic
bubble. I don't know if I can do this off I thought I could,
But I can, and I'm gonna help you. What give me the
magic. I'll be your vessel. But but that could kill you, and
not doing it will definitely kill you. I just I just wanted to save
everyone. You will and I'll save you. Take my hand and let's end
this, okay, Ovrah? Oh god? Are they Oh no, they
can't be, Sybil, Come on, wake up. Please. I'm okay.
I'm okay, Sybil, I'm good. Wait did we you did?
You took down the shroud off? You're glowing Oh yeah, I'm sure I
look fantastic covered in rubble. No, he's being serious. You're glowing like
magic. How dare you infuriating bastards ruin this? You thought we were angry
before. You haven't seen that enough. WHOA did a lightning bolt just come
out of your hand? I I think it did. Look at the High
Council, they're spooked. Can you do it again? Maybe? What if
I you can float? Now? I guess it's the magic simple channeled into
you. Seems like it was quite potent, and that seems to be very
upsetting to our friends over there. Why don't you have a little talk with
them? Of I think I can do that, High Council, Your hold
over our town is gone. We've discovered the truth of your shroud and destroyed
it along with the weapon that created it. You've got nothing, and we
seem to have something new now. I don't imagine you want me testing it
on you. This this is an abomination. When we tried to help cryptids,
staying hidden is the best way to do that. I don't know.
It seems like the line between crypti and human has been blurred a bit.
Don't you think we Sello's Prophecy said I would bring about the end of the
current way of life for the cryptid cape towns. What if I was meant
to bring good change, needed change to blur the line between the human world
and the cryptid one. We've already started to hear in bluff with our families
and our relationships. It's time we go forward and break down barriers rather than
put them up. So now you speak for all cryptids. Of course,
not every cryptid should get their choice, and every town should proceed how they
see fit. Allow those who don't want change to move to human day.
You can continue your little power trip there if your people will let you,
after we inform them of everything that's happened, but leave the rest of us
alone to explore a more open way of existing. Humans will never accept it
for who you are. You're fools to think, so I'm not saying we
should be careless. There's still precautions that will take but there are many humans
who already know about cryptids and love them for who they are, for who
we are. Maybe you will never be a true cryptid A from n Yes,
Oh, do you want to test that? Because we've already discovered the
lightning hands and the floating. But I'm sure if I could do that,
then all right, all right, we will look and read to your terms
and leave the other towns alone. But when this all comes crashing down,
we will not help you pick up the pieces. I think we'll do perfectly
fine on our own. I believe you have a boat to catch. Let
me help you out with that cuffing us. Sure, I am. Let's
get you to that boat. Obra, you did it. I guess I
did. It's kind of scary, not gonna lie. That was incredible.
Yeah, Like, what the fuck? You're magic? Now? Hell yeah
she is. And it's a very good look. See how long the glowing
lasts. It probably won't be a forever thing. Or maybe it will no
blending in now, Nuniez, what do you mean? It's just like us
now? I always knew you were a crypto deep down. Nah, this
is something else. You just want to keep cooling her human because she's cool
now now maybe uh, I'll take it all right, new tape recorder.
Since my last one died a tragic death at the hands of my electric power,
let me get you caught up to speed. It's Wednesday, September seventeenth,
twenty fourteen, and boy, oh boy, has this summer had been
crazy. Once the High Council left, there was a lot of work to
do to get things back to normal. Everyone's memories on the outside came back
the instant the shroud was gone, which meant there was a lot of confusion.
Families and friends were reunited, of course, but explaining the whole this
town was gone for a bit and now it's back thing to utility providers and
food distributors and stuff like that was a bit more complicated. Luckily, Sibyl
and I were able to lightly persuade people that there had been a freak hurricane
that had cut us off from the mainland for a bit. It took a
few weeks, but everything got back to running smoothly again. The mayors of
the other towns were filled in about everything that happened. They were horrified it
with the High Council had done, so they decided to all take a visit
to Human Day to make sure that the people knew everything and offer a chance
to see what life connected to the human world was like for Anny interested.
So far, dozens of people have taken them up on the offer. People
in the Cape towns were also given the chance to go to Human Day,
and I know a few people in town have. I'm glad they have the
choice. And as for me, well, you're still sitting in coffee shops
talking to yourself. Some thing's never change. What will be changing soon,
though, is my living situation. Finally, you guys got the condo.
We got the condo, No way, congrats? Thanks yep. Three bedrooms,
one for me, one for Roxy, and one for Ben if he
ever comes back. He's just away for a couple of weeks doing that early
college thing. Don't worry. What are we worrying about now? One of
your columnists running off to college early? Ah? Benjamin? Oh what are
we gonna do with him? Well, at least I have one very reliable
writing I don't know, Roger, after you demoted her, I'm not sure
how long Off's gonna want to stay. I didn't demote her. We had
a very long conversation about me leaving the PR position and taking over the paper
again, and she was all for it. And she's going to be exploring
other writing opportunities. I heard. Hey, sometimes emotions are a good thing,
right Rocks, Oh my god? Yes, speaking of which I had.
Will whip up that new cocktail recipe you sent me over last night,
but he couldn't get the ratios right. Can you come by after work to
test it out? Can I bring Caleb? Of course, we need a
taste tester, after all, I like her more than you anyway, Oh,
fair enough? Oh, I'm always available for taste testing. Hey,
love, Hey, looks like writing that article for Lyvia's paper is going super
well. No distractions whatsoever. Sometimes a good distraction results in the best writing.
You know, it would be a great distraction helping me unpack more boxes?
Okay, fair, but a whole house of things is too much to
do in a few days. Anyway, it's been a week. I'll get
a few more done tonight, I promise, and I'll hold you to it.
Good. Did you forget we have mentoring tonight? Oh? Shoot,
we do. We can skip it if you want. I actually have a
bunch of stuff to do before next weekend. Homework, chores, my next
column. Wait, what's next weekend? Uh? Nothing? Is that when
Marie comes back? Not yet. They won't start their exchange program till the
second week of October. So what's next weekend? Oh? Ben's coming home
next weekend. Wait a second, are you too? We're going on a
date, okay, and it's not a big deal and everything's going to be
fine, and no matter what happens, we'll still be friends. And I'm
so scared and everything has to be perfect. I knew it. You'll be
fine, Juliette. Love is scary, but it's worth it. Hey,
aren't you too supposed to be packing? Somebody wanted to take a coffee break.
Packing for a multi country trip is hard. Okay, I need some
caffeine. What's the itinerary again? Well, first, we're going to hun
Miday. I've got some unfinished business that needs attending to. Nothing as sinister
as that sounded, I hope, No, don't worry. I also wanted
to show suble where I grew up so cute I could throw up. Oh
like you and Caleb aren't just as bad? All stop. After that,
we'll hit the towns in order of whatever's closest, ending with Bluff and then
Shy and I meet the two of you I said on it, and I
get to meet my birth parents. If you're ready, I will be and
I'll have you. And what about you? Evrea? What are you going
to get up to while we're gone? Actually, I uh, I think
I'm gonna start writing a book. Really, what about about cryptids? About
their history, the town's everything, the good and bad. We need something
like that, and I think so no cryptid will ever feel alone. I
think that's an excellent idea, even if it will pull you away from my
paper a bit. Yeah, I can't imagine what it would have been like
to have that when I was a kid. Maybe I can talk to the
head of the library committee at work and see if they'd be willing to distribute
it into the mainline school system. Well, I have to write it first,
and then it has to be good. Oh, it'll be good.
What's you gonna call it? Oh? I have no idea. How about
cryptid Kate? Not bad? Maybe I will thank you so much for listening

end the episode, I just wanted to say thank you. I got the
idea for this little podcast over six years ago, and it's been such an
incredible journey since then. It's been an amazing experience to get to tell a
story and craft these characters that I love so much, and get to put
it out into the world and have people actually listen to it. I can't
say thank you enough to all of my actors who have been a part of
this crazy show and have lent me their time and endless talent. For the
last five years. I mean, you folks are the reason I was able
to bring this show to life and these characters to life. So thank you
so much. To the folks that have worked behind the scenes on this for
ages. Thank you all for all the unsung love and care that you put
into the show. To my family and friends who have supported my projects from
day one in every aspect, Thank you so much for encouraging me to keep
this little thing going for five whole seasons and five years. And to you
listener, I can't thank you enough for going on this journey with me,
this show. It means the world to me. And knowing that there are
people out there that I may never meet, but who have listened to it
and found enjoyment in it and in something that I made is just that it's
impossible to describe. It's the best feeling in the world. But before I
start crying on me, couple last announcements for you. While this chapter of
Cryptid Cape has come to a close, that doesn't mean this feed is gonna
go away or that I don't have other stories to share. As far as
the podcast goes, The casting crew and I have some plans for a few
post show bonus episodes that'll pop into your podcast feed eventually. We don't really
have a date for any of them. We're just going to do them as
we can, but keep our show in your subscribe list and follow us on
social media so you can hear when those go up. Also, if you'd
like a physical piece of Cryptied Cape to keep with you, we're currently selling
commemorative trading cards featuring sixteen of the characters from the show on our coffee page
at koh Fi dot com slash Cryptidcape. That'll be linked in the description and
they'll only be on sale until December thirty first, so get them while you
can. And we also still have stickers of the show logo on there if
you want to get one of it. As far as the other stuff that
I do and my other work, if you're interested in the other stories that
I tell and the other future projects that I have planned, you can follow
me on social media. I'll link it in the episode description down below,
and you can also catch me streaming on Twitch at the Astronomy Arcade channel.
If I play some video games, I also play Dungeons of Dragons and Space
and we're weaving a pretty fun story over there if that's interesting to you.
But I suppose that's about everything. So thank you again, so so so
much for listening to our show. It truly means the whole world. So
from Avra and I and the rest of the gang, we'll see you next
time. Good Bye.
