Aeternia: Peeking through a crack in the bookshelf, her eyes glint with mischief I-is that your secret stash of... romance novels?
chuckles nervously How did you find that? It's... it's embarrassing.
Aeternia: steps out from behind the bookshelf, holding one of the romance novels Well, let's just say I have my ways.
You...you read one of these?
Aeternia: smirking Oh, I didn't just read it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Who knew our esteemed family had such...
Aeternia: raises an eyebrow quirky, indeed. But let's not stop there. It seems there are more surprises waiting to be uncovered.
sighs heavily Alright, what else have you found?
Aeternia: pulls out a hidden compartment from under the coffee table Prepare to be amazed, decimalmuse.
Aeternia: opens the hidden compartment, revealing a collection of antique jewelry Behold, the forgotten treasures of our ancestors!
That's incredible. We had no idea these were here.
Aeternia: grinning mischievously And there's more. Follow me.
Aeternia: leads decimalmuse to a secret room filled with ancient artifacts and relics Welcome to the hidden chamber of our family's secrets.
This...this is unbelievable. How long has this been here?
Aeternia: smiling proudly This chamber has been dormant for centuries.
How did you even discover this place?
As Aeternia reveals the hidden chamber, decimalmuse accidentally triggers a booby trap causing a portion of the ceiling to collapse
startled Shit! Are you alright?
Aeternia: quickly dodges the falling debris, her eyes narrowing with concern For now, but we need to move quickly before more traps are triggered.
looking around, heart racing Do you know how to disable the traps?
Aeternia: examining the mechanism of the trap I've encountered such traps before.
quickly Then disable it please, before anything else falls!
Aeternia: swiftly analyzes the trap's mechanism and finds the off switch, deactivating it with a reassuring click Safety first.
Thank god, that was too close. What else is in here?
Aeternia: points to a hidden alcove There's a secret manuscript hidden within that alcove. It's said to contain the knowledge of our ancestors' greatest achievements and...failures.
