Escargot - Season 1

Chapter 5 of Ollyverse

The fifth chapter of Ollyverse follows two timelines, serving as both a prequel, and a sequel to the first four chapters, with each season divided into two halves. The story focuses on Heather Granville, a young woman who ends up transported to the year 1556. (seemingly) via a faulty time machine created by her friend Peter. The present timeline focuses on Peter and Heather's boyfriend Ox trying to find a way to bring her back, while the past timeline focuses on Heather trying to navigate her new life in a small medieval town's castle named Cobra Court, ruled by King Cobra and Queen Maria. In season 1, Heather becomes an honorary guest of the queen, who believes her to be a sign of positive change. She makes friends with the court jester and the captain of the King's guard, who saves her life from a priest believing her to be a witch. This causes a rift in the timeline, while Peter and Ox slowly start realizing the real reason Heather ended up in the past. In the local inn, Heather connects with the feisty innkeeper Fiona and her boss Warthorn, while the King's spiteful right-hand man, Grand Vizier Aspis, makes a deal with a pirate in order to assassinate his master. The inn is visited by a pair of travelling merchants from across the sea, with some very sinister motives, as Heather meets a creepy fortune-teller and ends up saving the day, but at what cost?
