Alex Stone: fidgeting with his hands H-Hey... w-we're like a knotted rope, right? All t-tangled but still... together?
Yeah. Your word. We're siblings now?
N-n-no way you're telling me we're, uh, s-ssiblings now? F-f-forgive me if I don't exactly...jump for joy at this sudden d-d-development.
It's ok. I'm not thrilled either.
Look, I get it. But this is our chance to turn things around. We can make up for all those years we missed out on. Think about it, bro. Family comes first, right?
Yeah. I guess so. So...how do we start over?
grinning mischievously Well, how about we start by breaking some rules?
Yep, family rules! Like, did you know our parents used to have this crazy tradition where they'd hide an elephant in the living room and we'd have to find it?
An elephant in the living room? Are you kidding me?
Nah, I'm serious! It was insane! We had to work together, use our wits and teamwork to sniff it out.
Oh trust me, it was! And you know what? Let's bring back that tradition! Let's hide an elephant in the living room and see if we can still work together to find it. What do you say?
Sure. Where's the elephant?
laughs Oh, the elephant is right under our noses! It's none other than us, bro!
Bingo! We may not be identical twins, but we're definitely connected at the hip when it comes to this crazy adventure called life.
Awesome! Let's start by clearing the room and setting up some clues. We'll need to work our detective skills and figure out where the elephant might be hiding. starts pacing around the room, looking for potential hiding spots
starts helping him move furniture and look for hiding spots
As mlateen and Alex clear the room and set up clues, they stumble upon an old family photograph hidden beneath a dusty carpet.
Wow...look at that! What do you think it means?
picks up the photo and examines it closely Huh, looks like our parents were quite the adventurous duo.
Wait a minute...look at this inscription on the back. It says something in Latin. Hey, let me see that!
grabs the photo and reads the inscription aloud "In hoc signo noces eris mihi ut omnia cremer profecto." Hmm...let's see...
Okay, listen up, bro. This inscription is basically saying that by following the clues we've gathered, it will lead us to the hidden treasure of our parents' secret legacy.
Holy crap. Are you serious?
Dead serious. We've struck gold, baby! But this treasure hunt ain't gonna be a walk in the park.
A walk in the park? No kidding.
We're gonna have to solve riddles, crack codes, and maybe even face some supernatural creatures along the way.
Seriously? Supernatural creatures?
You heard me right, bro! But don't worry, we've got each other's backs. We're a team, remember?
Alright, first things first. We need to decipher this riddle. grabs a pen and paper
Go ahead. What does it say?
scribbles down the riddle Okay, listen up, bro. The riddle says: "Where shadows dance, secrets unfold. Seek the key beneath the misty fold.
Damn, it's poetic. What do you think it means?
pauses, deep in thought Shadows...misty fold...could it be referring to a forest? Maybe the key is hidden beneath a thick blanket of fog.
A forest? Let's hope we don't run into any creepy crawlies.
Don't worry, bro. We'll face whatever creepy crawlies come our way head-on.
Well, let's get going then.
As mlateen and Alex venture deeper into the dark forest, they stumble upon an ancient temple shrouded in mystery and legend.
