Everyone simultaneously gathered their heads to examine the few mysterious characters circled in red on the wall. They compared them to the ones in Qiaoqiao's master's handwritten letter.
As expected, her Master had written in the same language and encircled it in red. Beneath were small words marked: Stop.
"Look, my master wrote it too!" Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao exclaimed joyfully, pointing at the bird runes on the right passageway and displaying the words in the small notebook.
Her Master had added two unmistakable words below the birds: Treasure! She had even drawn an arrow to signify progress.
Shock overcame everyone, and bewildered glances were exchanged.
"Qiaoqiao, could the master of this secret realm…"
"It has to be your Master!"
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao scratched her petite head and shook it. "Impossible! My master has never been to this place."
"How do you know?"
