📝 Quick summary of key information

What secrets sleep under old castles?

A medieval crypt is a secret room under a castle. It was often used as a burial place for important people.

The secret rooms were important because they could have secret passages. These passages let you move quietly around the castle.

In the crypts, you often find old symbols. These symbols were drawn to protect the places and the people who entered them.

Knights sometimes left secret messages in crypts. These messages helped to share knowledge or to protect treasures.

The Riddles of the Forgotten Crypt

What secrets sleep under the old castles?

The Discovery of the Crypt

After praying in front of the stained glass window(1) in the Star Chapel, Thibault looks for advice and courage. Aélis admires the old stained glass window showing a dragon, a symbol(2) of strength and wisdom. Together, they leave the chapel, the stars from the stained glass window still shining in their hearts, ready for a new adventure. Thibault, with his small wooden sword, and Aélis, with her leather bag full of scrolls(3), head towards Montbrave Castle. They know that mysteries await them in the depths of the castle.

Aélis, with a mysterious smile, says:
« We are going to explore the secret tunnels of the castle. »

Thibault, looking into the darkness of the tunnel, said:
« It's dangerous, Aélis. The tunnels are dark and damp. »

Aélis, reassuringly, adds:
« We will be careful. I have a torch to light our way. »

Not long after, Aélis lights the torch. The light shines on the walls covered in moss. They walk slowly, listening to the strange noises echoing around them. They find a crypt filled with old writings(4). The walls are decorated with mysterious symbols, and dusty chests are lined up along the walls.

Thibault, curious, asks:
« What are these symbols, Aélis? »

Aélis, eyes shining with curiosity, explains:
« These are old letters. They talk about bravery and wisdom. »

By solving a riddle carved on a stone, they find an old knight's oath(5) that tells them about their own destiny. Once they read the oath, a secret door opens. They hear a thud behind them.

The Knights' Oath

Thibault and Aélis turn around. They see a statue move. A soft light fills the room. A voice echoes in the crypt. It speaks of courage and wisdom.

Thibault, curious about the mysterious voice, asks:
« Who are you? »

Aélis, eyes sparkling, then explains: « It's a guardian spirit(6). It protects the knights' oath. »

Thibault, with a heart full of determination, says:
« We want to follow the oath. We will protect the kingdom. »

The guardian spirit smiles. It gives them a golden key. It opens secret doors in the castle. Thibault and Aélis take the key. They know they must continue their quest.

Aélis, determined, says:
« We must find more secrets. They are hidden in the castle. »

Thibault, determined, says:
« Yes, we must protect the kingdom. We will follow the knights' oath. »

After discovering the knights' oath, Thibault and Aélis part ways for a little while. They know they must continue their quest to protect the kingdom. Thibault, curious about the mysteries of the stars, heads to the Star Chapel. There, surrounded by bats that dance silently in the night, he hopes to find answers to his questions. He sits near the altar(7), ready to listen to the wisdom of the stars. Aélis, on the other hand, returns to the crypt to continue her research. She knows that more riddles await her, and she is determined to solve them. Together, they are ready for new adventures, guided by the oath of the ancient knights and the light of the stars.
