Even in being adventurous he was cautious but it did not mean that things did not happen. He made sure to hold on when she had asked of him to do so. "What's wrong?" he asked. The last thing that he felt either of them needed was to get trapped down somewhere, where they might not be able to get off of. He did want adventure however he did not want to do so without an escape out at the end of the day. Alice Seraphim

Alice pointed out the hole resisting the urge to call Damon 'Dr Jones'. Then explained in a quiet voice "if the rest of the stairs are like that we need to be careful. So the stones must have fallen towards the end of these. "Lets hope they'll still be there to let us out". Alice could carry Damon out if need be but wouldn't that ruin the adventure? Indiana Jones didn't have a winged assistant; he'd Short Round and Willie Scott in tow while he faced off a murderous cult. So she carefully headed down further taking the lead as she could fly a little if another stone gave way. She doubted it would be a trap; just time working on this staircase but it looked solid enough so far. "Damon, I think this side is more stable to walk on" she added. She was two metres in front of him by now and they were still going deeper. Damon Lex

He took a few minutes to look around and see if he could see anything that would help but so far it all looked alike to him. "Alright I am headed that way," he said as he took a second and moved over. "I think we are mostly safe," he said as he took out a small map and looked over it. "Alright it looks like a couple of more feet and we should come up to a door." Alice Seraphim

So it looked like they were getting somewhere after all. Damon had a map and a door was supposed to be close. Alice shone her flash light round once she'd moved further down the steps. Firstly up then down. Then left and right. A door didn't have to be something they'd recognise straight away. "Damon this looks like an outline. Could this be a door?" she posed. It was big enough for people to get through if it could be opened. Damon Lex

The thing about doors was that you never truly knew what it was that would be behind them but as far as he knew it should not be anything dangerous as he caught up with Alice. He took a second to look over and then look at his map. "I think you might be on to something, but we need something to make it budge." He continued to look around and found a few sticks and then spotted a medium size rock. At the moment he did not know if it would be enough but he was going to try. "I will see if I can get enough force so we can get it budged, I need you to stay out of the way though do not want to get you hurt." Alice Seraphim

Now they needed to open the door. Damon looked round for something to open it and she kept her torch focused so he could see what he was doing. "No problem Damon" she quietly said as she was listening and looking for other things that might happen later or now. So backing off enough to give him space and the lead again she observed how he might do this. It might work or they might also have to try the obvious thing and push it. Damon Lex

He sighed deeply because just how old was this door. It was still standing but he had no idea what would happen once they got it open. It was a chance that he was willing to take but still at the end of the day his adventure was going to win out and he shamelessly knew that as he tried to get the door open but to no avail. However it did not upset him he just turned and leaned up against it and began talking. "Nothing is ever so simple," he said as he pushed a little more weight up against the door and it slowly began to creak open. About three creaks and Damon went rolling into the now open room as he rolled into a chest that popped open and mice scattered everywhere holding small golden objects in their hands. Some of it looked old like pirate coins or treasure but some of it looked to have jewels embedded into it as he spoke. "I hate mice," he said calmly. "Come on in Alice, it's safe minus the rat crap everywhere." Alice Seraphim

Alice hadn't expected the door to open the way it did. She figured it was a big block that needed pushed through but whoever came up with this made it easy once you applied weight at the right part of the door. She smiled a little at first and her look changed to fear when Damon went tumbling and back to relief when he said he was alright. Alice carefully followed Damon not freaking out at all the gold. She seen the mice and figured there would be rats too. She still was careful where she walked and now took a close look at the treasure. It looked genuine and given the island had old ruins like this it seemed logical that pirates would have operated from here too. "Indiana Jones didn't like snakes. Everybody has something they hate; mine is being stuck in a small space and unable to get out. Old memories and all that" she replied. "So we might have had pirates or privateers working from the island? Which dates this from 1500's to late 1700's. I wonder how far history does go back here?" she curiously said and only now touched a coin. Damon Lex

He made a mental note that the next time he went on an adventure he had to do more research first. He knew that most people would say he should have already knew that but he never claimed to be an expert only a person who looked for adventure when maybe he should not have. Either way him and Alice were too deep in now and he did not want to turn back. It had also helped that he had spotted a bit of findings. "I imagine given how deep and far back history goes period, it is probably a lot. I would alert the Ashfords to this but I figure they either already know or they do not know and they might tear it down so to say." He wanted neither thing to happen. "It is amazing though, how much we know and all that we do not know at the same time. The truth is that it always baffles my mind." Alice Seraphim

Having gone this deep they might be going deeper. Alice kept shining her flashlight so they could see everything in this room. What they might also find was another way out though they could just go out the way they came. She'd seen more mice scurry as the light disturbed them and had a question and a statement for Damon. "I think the answer lies with the stone rather than the treasure if you want to know how far this complex goes back. Can't we just not tell them right away until we figure this out?" she asked in a quiet voice. To her his was a adventure for her own purposes and had nothing to do with work but she did know it would be a good idea to report finding this treasure eventually. "Does the map tell us anymore?" she posed. Was the treasure the end or was there more to explore? Damon Lex

A secret was not a bad idea though Damon kicked himself for not thinking of it. "That sounds like a good plan to me. I do not know about you but I barely see the Ashfords anyway so the odds of us getting asked about it are probably pretty low." He looked around and then slowly looked over the map again. "I think that there is one more door and it appears like a secret entrance somewhere, but it seems as if it would either be hard to get into or it might no longer exist especially if they changed it or just marked it on the map for a foolery. Would you like to take the east wing with me?" Alice Seraphim

"At least we hope they won't ask about it" Alice mused. She would have to confess something to Damon given her job but right now there was no confliction with her duties. Then he mentioned another possibility on the map. "Lets check the east wing once I get our supplies". She could carry these with no problem. "You might need to know something about me too. I'm not just a university student. I also work for the security services. They don't even look at this kind of activity yet so you'll be fine. We can still keep a secret for as long as it takes" she added. She also hoped it wouldn't end the partnership. Damon Lex

"Exactly," he said as he listened to her. It took him a second after she said what she did aside from being a student but he did not see that as a bad thing. "I mean we all need a job though I am willing to be that you see some pretty secretive stuff doing that job." He was always too curious. "Thanks for telling me that, you are still pretty kick ass though," he said as he finally walked towards the easy wing. "Being careful this time," he said as he checked on her to make sure she was as well. Alice Seraphim

"I'm not Jane Bond you know. Nor am I Q branch" Alice mused once she returned with the bags and added "I'm closer to being a police officer and an investigator. So I guess I am kick ass after all but I can't really say much more". So with them both being ready and careful she led Damon lead the way as he had the map but she held two bags in one hand and her flashlight in the other. It was still dark and they needed to know where they where walking. Her torch would light up the areas his missed. Damon Lex

This was the first time in a while that he had been adventuring with someone else. Alice had also been an excellent sport and had not seemed to get too upset with him which he appreciated as he took a second and walked carefully. Damon was doing his best to hold his own flash light so that they had a double source of light as he took a small sniff of the land. "Alice, pause a second please in the corner," he said as he moved to the corner of the room himself. While he did not have super smell or anything like that, he did feel like he smelled a small whiff of water. Standing, possibly mildewed water at that. "Do you smell anything, like old water maybe?" he asked as he moved his flashlight around looking carefully but remaining absolutely still. Alice Seraphim
