Now, I'm going to hit you with the recap of the previous episode,

then we'll dive right into the action.

Last time on venture maidens.

Heroes headed back to the hut for a quick bit of recovery after defeating the wear creatures of the forest court.

Tensions between Rook and IFA resulted in an explosive argument.

But luckily, Lou was able to calm everyone down and get them focused enough to finally enter the Blossom court.

Once inside, our crew learned that they would have to face a traditional series of tests before they were allowed to present themselves to the Blossom sovereign.

In the end, the gang decided that EFA would face the test of artistry, Lou would take on the test of cunning,

Ravein would deal with the test of virtue, and Tony and Rook would tag team the test of valor.

Their decisions made. The group was forced to wait until each was escorted to their respective trials.

Gather round travelers to hear our tale. Faced with a contest full of flash,

Our young Ephra must make a splash.

For if this trial proves a flop our journey comes to a dead star think

outside the box as we head into favor episode 48. Test of Artistry. history. Oh, Live! Hello, hello, hello everybody. Welcome back. It's another episode of Venture Maidens. Oh my gosh, do we have something super special for you all today?
