Secrets

Ace carefully looked at the paintings on the wall, he was trying is decipherer it. He was struggling to see what it meant, that's when he thought of the Legend Of The Golden Phoenix. The paintings on the wall reminded him of it. He looked closer, there was a little girl with a Phoenix standing infront of her, as if it was protecting her.

"Quick someone is coming!" Shouted Fu.

Ace quickly walked back, looking back at the pictures on the wall, he wanted to know what it meant. He was in the area where Fu was, quickly they ran out and hid behind some rocks. Ace peaked from the side of the rock and saw two men standing there, not noticing that the cave entrance was uncovered.

Man 1: "Boss told us to keep searching for the treasure."

Man 2: "We've been here for 3 days and found nothing, maybe there is no treasure."

Man 1: "We have to keep searching or the boss will end us."

Man 2: All we have found was some stupid paintings on the wall, does that count as treasure to you?"

Man 1: "You never know they might some secrets behind them."

That sentence made Ace intrigued, he wanted to know what secret they were talking about. He tried to get closer to hear better.

Man 1: "I heard that there is a secret ritual written on the wall that can help defeat the Golden Phoenix, but no one has found where it is, maybe this wall is the one that we need to save humanity."

Ace put his ears out, he desperately wanted to know about this ritual. Accidentally, he stepped on a twig, attracting the attention of those two men. They walked towards the rock, that's when another voice shouted from behind them, so they turned around.

Man 3: "Why haven't you covered the caves entrance if you've come out of it? We can't be letting anyone else finding this place."

Man 2: "We haven't entered the cave, what do you mean the entrance is not covered?"

Man 1: "Do you mean someone broke in?"

Man 2: "It might've just a beggar looking for shelter."

Man 3: " Even if that's the case we still need to be cautious."

Man 1: "Should keep on searching for the treasure?"

Man 2: "Yeah, we just discovered the secret tunnel, but we haven't explored it yet."

Man 3: "If we find some gold, we should split it."

Man 2: "And no one should tell the boss."

Man 3 starts walking to the cave and Man 2 follows him, Man 1 stays behind. Man 1 looks around as if he's still trying yo find out where that sound came from.

Man 2: "Aren't you coming?"

Man 1 turns around, nods and starts running to him. Ace and Fu come out from behind the rock, and slowly follow the 3 men. Ace really does want to know what the secret behind the painting and what this 'ritual' is about.
