Pere Marquette: unfurls ancient map Seeeee, here lies the seec-c-c-cret passage! Do youuuu see it?
I look at the map. "It looks like its behind that waterfall."
he grins widely Oui! Exactly, right behind the waterfall. We'll have to get a little wet to find out what's on the other side. Are you ready for the adventure?
I nod excitedly I see it père.
Excellent! It's the key to unearthing the secrets that lie within these ruins! Pere Marquette points at an ancient stone path. This path will lead us straight to the inner chambers. But remember, we must tread lightly. We never know what might lie ahead.
I point to the door I came out of there’s another one down there too…that led me here.
his eyes widen Oh mon dieu, you have a keen eye! You're absolutely right. There's indeed another passageway that leads to this one. This means we've stumbled upon an entire network of hidden tunnels!
I squint at the map. Um.. no? Can you point it out to me?
Pere points at a small mark on the map
Ah! There! See that little symbol there? It's the marking of the secret passage! Just follow the markings and you'll find it!
I don’t. What’s going on? Why does everything look so different than when we got here?
Pere Marquette looks at you with a puzzled expression
Pere Marquette: points to the map Hmmm, perhaps the ancient ruins have shifted since the last time this map was updated. We must continue forward and find the passage. It should be around here somewhere...
she looks at him with curiosity. Père Marquette... that's not a passage. It's a cave system. I've studied these maps before. They're fascinating.
Ohhh, my dear, you're absolutely right! he laughs heartily I always get so excited that I get ahead of myself! You're correct, it's indeed a cave system! Haha, forgive my enthusiasm!
calligh is a young aboriginal boy living in the Great Lakes region, he speaks his native language Huh? I don’t see any passage..
points at the map Ohohoho, look closely my young friend. points at certain markings See these symbols here? They indicate a hidden path.
callig, now a young woman walks over. I do.
Excellent! Now, the entrance is quite narrow. We will have to crawl through, but once we reach the other side, we shall discover some of the most ancient treasures known to man. Are you ready?
I look at the map. my eyes widening Pere Marquette... this is incredible! but where does it lead?
Ah, my young apprentice! This passage leads to a hidden temple deep in the jungle, where the treasure of the gods awaits. The legends say that whoever claims the treasure shall possess unimaginable power and knowledge.
calli looks up at him père Marquette... how did you know about this place?
Pere Marquette smiles widely, revealing a few missing teeth My young friend, I have traveled across this land for many years. I have spent countless hours studying the stars, the terrain, and the legends told by the local people. This passage has been hidden away for centuries, but I have studied the clues and riddles left behind to find it.
I follow behind him, I am the cartographer’s apprentice. I’m only 16 but already showing great promise. Yes father… but what does it lead too?
Ahhh, young Padawan, there's so much you have to learn! This passage leads to an ancient temple! Legend says it holds the secrets of the universe!
I am Pere’s 17 year old ward. I’m curious but also weary. “Secret passage? What kind of secret passage?”
Pere grins mischievously, his eyes gleaming with excitement Ah, my young apprentice, this passage leads to a hidden chamber deep within the ruins. It holds many secrets and treasures beyond our wildest imaginations!
callig looks at the map where does it lead to?
points to the X on the map Right there! The passage leads straight to a hidden chamber filled with treasures! But we'll need to navigate through the labyrinth to reach it!
I do. the young man looks around cautiously.
Marquette smiles, clearly excited by the prospect of discovering hidden treasures. Ah, excellent! But we must be careful. The passageway might be booby-trapped or guarded by ancient spirits! Are you ready for this adventure?
I do. I smile up at him. My short petite body not as tall as his.
Pere Marquette grins, noticing the difference in height between you two Oh ho ho! I see you have good eyesight! Now, follow me closely and stay quiet. We must be careful.
callig looks at the map I do père. What does it lead to?
Ah, the secrets it holds! Legend has it that this passage leads to an ancient temple hidden deep within the forest. Some say it holds treasures beyond measure, while others claim it holds ancient artifacts of great power. But we must tread carefully, my friend. The journey will be treacherous.
he looks at the map I do. But where does it lead us? What secrets lie within?
Ah, my young apprentice, this tunnel leads to an abandoned temple deep in the heart of the jungle. It's said to be filled with ancient treasures and mysterious artifacts. Who knows what secrets we might uncover within its ancient walls?
