What grows in the ashes?

    Between Emeline and Ila they manage to catch the bug in the folds of the apron. Briefly a dark humming sound is audible. Then the little creature holds still. It is slightly larger then an egg.

    After helping to catch the bug, Emeline looks to the depression on the ceiling. It seems that there is a crack in the wood, but it very regular. After following it for a moment, she finds that the depression is part of a rectangular piece of the ceiling, like a small trapdoor. It is about 40 by 40 centimeters and well hidden.

    "Bröther, put those lockpicks away - you're an Amadeus, not some skulking rogue." a vision of Wolfgang back at the manor appears in Andreis mind. In the memory he recalls the moment he was trying to lockpick into Eric's room, he knew his tin-statue of a dragon was hiding in there. Surprised to hear his older brother gave him a shock but didn't quite so as to release his grip on his toolset. "Hah, yeah but I can't think of any other way to get a door open I don't have the keys for.... My silver dragon is inside" Andrei replies meekly, a little embarrassed by the act.

    "I see. I need some of mine from Eric's room as well. Inanimate physical objects will be the easiest opponents you'll face in this life, now is your time to conquer them! Observe!" Wolfgang places himself steady, and with a strong front kick by the keyhole barges in the door - rendering the door frame to splinters around the handle and collapsing the door.

    "... Wolf, you killed my lockpicking set, it was worth half my allowance."

    "The mighty foot knows no equal"

    Andrei had taken the same stance as his admired big brother from that time, he looks at Molly and smirks "Mighty foot engage!"

    He strikes the door with a kick and is ready to explore whatever is on the other side.

    "We got it!" Ila burst out with a huge grin. "Oof... this is way too big for my tiny little bottle..." she mumbled and took one of the long ties from the apron and used it and her teeth to tie a knot around where she held the apron to enclose the bug. Then she finally looked up towards Emeline. "We should... wait what's that?"

    "Silence isn't empty, it's full of answers."

    Molly holds up the light to Help Andrai. As he kicks the door in, he looks a bit like this brother.. except for the Hair and colurfull clouse.

    "Today they shot first, tomorrow they might be the first to heal you" She said, almoust to her self.

    "I think ive seen that tecniqe before hmm.." She smiled.

    Andrei kicks the door and it swings open without much resistance and slams into the wall on the other side. Molly and Andrei see a small courtyard, open to the sky. It is dark, but it appears to be a garden with a few gravel paths leading to an open gate on the wall opposite to the door.

    Ila recognizes some kind of trapdoor, cunningly hidden on the ceiling. If she stretches out she could just reach it. There seems to be a gap through which the bugs have dissappeared.

    "Did you get it? Greatest job!" Emeline says without looking away from the hidden trapdoor.

    "I think it's a trapdoor. I'll try to get it open."

    Emeline pulls out a short knife. Never use a knife for prying. She heard Wolfgangs voice echo. She smiled. I remember that fun day. Wolfgang had just stated not to pry anything open with a knife. Then Brian pried... Was is a box? A door maybe? Doesn't matter. Brian cab pry things with a knife, so can I!

    She puts the blade at the edge of the trapdoor, and tries to open it.
