Apocrypha Treasure Map 1 Novels & Stories

Retracting a few steps, I tapped onto the floor again to confirm my suspicion. I gently squeezed Rachel’s shoulder in reassurance and began to loosen my grip on her. When I was sure that she had understood the message, I quickly recoiled from her and proceeded to peel the carpet of the floor. There I found a rectangular box almost mixed with the colour and texture of the wooden flooring looking glaringly out of place to me. If someone hadn’t already suspected that it was a secret pathway to the floor beneath, they would never discover it lying there.

“Fine, we will go over in the wooded area, so we are somewhat hidden. We will slowly steer ourselves away.” I watch as we are walking, I follow as he heads to the woods. Trying not to have too many to notice us heading to the woods. It is hard not to be followed, everyone just wants to hide. It's not easy finding a place to lie low. Especially when you hear the screams of people being attacked at night. It's in every direction, the noise just echoes. As we are walking through the brush, I watch as Axel falls to the ground. At first, I laughed thinking that he tripped and fell, what a dumb ass. Then I hear him yell, “Stella run.”

“A map?” “Yes. Lawen, find the rest of the floors’ maps. Maybe we can find something, maybe a vault like you said.” Apoel crouched on the floor again and began searching under all the sand. “Right, okay.” Lawen did the same. They swiped away the sand and exposed the floor and kept searching for the pieces of papers. After a few minutes, they both gathered at a desk which had been cleared out from the other papers and files and sand and placed the 3 maps that they found. The ink on the maps were dull and faded but they still could make headway with it.

Her voice trailed off, and she pulled away from me, taking out a small scroll from her pocket. “You found it,” I said, relieved. “Yes. Turns out, I’m the only one who can see what’s in it,” she told me, unfolding it. She was right. To me, it looked empty. “It’s a map. To be exact, it’s the Golden Leaf Cove Map,” Clarissa said, and I frowned. The Golden Leaf Cove was the proposed venue of this year’s blood hunt. Was it somehow related to the moonstone? “What’s wrong?” My mate asked, and I shook my head.

If the legends held true, somewhere in this library was a map to the Raider stronghold beyond the Highlands. I muttered under my breath as I scoured the cluttered shelves, growing anxious. Time was short before the guards came to check on things. Finally, tucked away in a corner stack, an aged scroll caught my eye - Egressus Silvis Vastis. Passage Through the Wilds. Heart pounding, I unrolled it to reveal a path through the perilous forest, ending at a fortress labeled Castrum Direptores. My rudimentary Latin identified it as the Raiders' Den - exactly what I needed to find potential allies against Scar.

Cassian wouldn't have noticed that detail if not for the fact that he kept his All-Seeing Eye activated the whole time. He picked up the brick, soon seeing something that resembled a piece of cloth inside it. When he dug it out and spread it open, he realized that it was a map. The map looked very old, and it was stained with blood. Still, Cassian could make out the mountains and rivers drawn on it. There was a tiny word sketched onto the bottom left corner of the map. Cassian took some time studying it before finally making it out. "Treasure!" Cassian's heart went tense with shock.

She reached into her handbag and removed a folded piece of paper. “I didn’t tell you before because I wasn’t sure it mattered.” She unfolded it carefully. It was an old railway map. Across the bottom, Daniel had scribbled a note. The truth travels in threes. Amelia studied the map. “There are three vaults?” Elena nodded. “I believe so.” “Geneva was the first.” Victor pointed toward Zurich. “The second.” Ethan looked at the map again. “Then where’s the third?” Silence filled the room.

She turned carefully to the middle, then peeled back a false page. Beneath it was a folded parchment. She spread it on the table. A map. And on the corner, scrawled in hurried, jagged ink: "If she awakens… take her here. The Forgotten Grove. The place where the Seers sealed their truths. T" My throat dried. “Madam Theresa knew.” Tessa nodded. “I think she was protecting you this whole time. From everyone. From… yourself.” We both looked down at the map. It showed no kingdom boundaries. No pack names.

I wanted to open it but stopped myself. Sophie smiled gently. “You can open it. Do not worry about the rain.” I unfolded the scroll and gasped. Everything was detailed. The map showed exactly where I was standing. Dangerous paths were marked, safe ones clearly indicated. I even saw a cave not far from my position. I looked up at Sophie in disbelief. “This map will lead you to the Holy Moon Goddess Temple,” she said. “The Holy Moon Goddess Temple?” I asked. “You mean the legendary temple.” She nodded.

Eventually, they killed all of the skeleton soldiers. Banjee approached one of the skeleton generals and pierced through its chest. He reached into the general’s chest cavity and took something. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was an ancient sheepskin scroll. In other words, it was another fragment of the map. ‘They also discovered the existence of the map,’ Tyr couldn’t help but frown slightly when he saw this scene. He pondered, ‘These guys must have the same experience as me. They wandered aimlessly on this ice land and eventually came across these skeleton armies and discovered that their bodies contained a map. When these fragmented maps were pieced together, the locatio
