The Secret Tomb

Under a moon‑lit sky the caravan huddles on the roadside, its shutters shut and its occupants whispering about a missing boy named Saint‑Quentin. Dorothy, a fierce and impulsive teenager, refuses to stay silent; she promises the restless children that she will bring the boy back, even if it means venturing out alone in the night. The restless chatter of the gypsies and the low‑grumbling of a sleeping horse set a tone of uneasy mystery that pulls the listener into the story’s first act.

Determined, Dorothy slips through mist‑laden fields and a tangled copse, her steps quick and sure as she follows a barely‑marked path toward a distant valley. There, a stark granite pedestal supports the looming silhouette of a medieval château, its walls rising like a silent guardian over a hidden gorge. The sight hints at an ancient secret waiting to be uncovered, inviting listeners to follow Dorothy’s daring quest into the heart of the unknown.
