Date:17/08/2019, Time: 11:50pm… Location?. ? P.O.V
Time to examine the hand I have been dealt. Few people rarely bother to read their own fortunes in my line of work. However I had to know…. If my fears were true….. I slowly put the cards in front of me….. However… it was the one card that got to me the most. The card of death… I was set to be killed… soon…. But what could I do about it. It was my time to die. Just not by my own hands…
Two days later….
Date: 19/08/2019, Location: Dragona Carnival, Time: 11am (Nick's P.O.V)
My name is Phoenix Wright, as some of you may remember, I am a defence attorney. I like to think that I am good at my job; however it is nice to take a day off once in a while. I am currently here with my "assistant" Maya Fey as well as her little cousin Pearl in order to take Pearl to her first carnival experience. To be honest, I personally believe the real motivation behind Maya's insistence was down to her urgent need for candyfloss. How one girl can eat five lots in a row and still have the energy to hunt down the burger stand is utterly beyond me.
The carnival is being run by a group of people known as the "Dragona" Troupe, with their main attraction, a famous fortune teller known as "Romanique", a woman said to have ties with the Feys but there is no real evidence to back up such claims. To be honest, as long as I can enjoy a day off today with my hyperactive assistant and Pearls, I am not asking questions. I had to admit, the carnival looked very impressive, with stalls showing various kinds of fascinating things; from the traditional games and food to exquisite looking trinkets that I had never seen before.
"Wow, Nick, can we go have our fortune read?... can we?... Pleaasssssse?" Maya wheedled.
"Oh can we Mister Nick, surely you could not deny the request of your special someone… please?" Pearl exclaimed. Sometimes I wondered if I had the word "sucker" tattooed on my forehead.
"Alright fine…. Look, why don't we all stick together, after all it is easy to get yourself lost in these crowds"…. I replied. The troupe had managed to pull in a massive crowd; you could barely move without bumping in to one person or another.

It took us a while to work our way towards the Fortune Teller's tent. To be perfectly honest I was just relieved that Maya hadn't insisted on taking Pearl for her first experience on the Big Wheel. I was not going to be around for the consequences of her "eating habits"….
Surprisingly, when we arrived at the tent, it was perfectly quiet. Not a person around, which was incredibly odd, considering the woman was supposed to be their main attraction. Maya seemed completely oblivious to this, and burst into the tent. Pearls just looked at me, and we both followed Maya in.
The tent was eerily quiet. Looking around, I could see a variety of hanging ornaments such as chimes and dream catchers placed around the tent; glimmering with intrigue; each one of them having some kind of story to tell….
"Hey Mister Nick… is the lady alright?"…. Pearls suddenly looked really worried.
Maya also heard this, and laughed.
"Oh relax Pearly! At her age she has probably just nodded off…. *AIEEEE!*" Maya jumped about six feet from the old woman, and my suspicions were confirmed. There, firmly lodged in her back was a silver dagger.
And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, a scream even louder than Maya's erupted from outside the tent.
"You… you… murderers!" A woman screamed, as she pointed at Maya and I before running away at top speed….
I so did not like where this was going. Maya started panicking….
"WHATDO WE DO NICK?" She yelled.
"Look, if we leave now, we risk incriminating ourselves further; let's just wait for the police to arrive then we can explain everything to them…. Right?" I tried to reassure them, but I couldn't reassure myself.
It was then my fears were confirmed, as shortly after, a group of three policemen stormed over and handcuffed Maya and I, telling us we had the "right to remain silent" and then taking us into custody….. However, something occurred to me as we were lead through the stunned crowd of onlookers… where had Pearly gone?...
