Avery couldn't shake the feeling that the mysterious woman had left her with a hidden message . She kept thinking about the woman's words , trying to decipher their meaning .
As they walked through the city , Avery suddenly stopped , her eyes fixed on a small , intricate symbol etched into the wall .
Ryker , Lyra , and Kael stopped beside her , their faces curious . " What is it , Avery ?" Ryker asked .
Avery's eyes were fixed on the symbol . " I've seen this before ," she said . " It's the same symbol the mysterious woman was wearing ."
Lyra's eyes narrowed . " Do you think it's a clue ?" she asked .
Avery nodded . " I do ," she said . " I think the mysterious woman was trying to tell us something ."
Kael's eyes scanned the surrounding area . " Let's search the area ," he said . " See if we can find any more clues ."
As they searched , Avery's eyes kept drifting back to the symbol . She felt a sense of excitement growing within her . She was determined to uncover the truth .
After a few minutes of searching , Lyra suddenly cried out , her eyes fixed on a small , hidden compartment in the wall .
Inside , they found a small , rolled - up parchment , adorned with the same symbol they had seen earlier .
Avery's heart skipped a beat as she unrolled the parchment , revealing a hidden message scrawled in elegant , cursive script .
The message read :
" The truth lies in the heart of the city . Seek out the ancient one's temple , and you shall find the answers you seek ."
Avery's eyes met Ryker's and she knew they were thinking the same thing . They had to find that temple .
