Salvador stood motionless for several moments after closing the journal.
His father's final words echoed endlessly in his mind.
*"I'll finish the journey Father began."*
The determination in his voice settled over the sanctuary.
Ella smiled proudly.
Felix and Harvey exchanged quiet glances before nodding in agreement.
None of them questioned him.
Not anymore.
Every hidden passage, every recovered memory, every object they had discovered had pointed them in the same direction.
The truth had been waiting for Salvador.
Now Salvador was finally walking toward it.
Harvey broke the silence first.
"If the map is correct, then the blocked passage beneath the North Wing should be somewhere beyond this sanctuary."
Felix looked around the room again.
"My concern is finding the entrance."
Ella turned toward the large table covered with maps.
"If your father hid this place, he wouldn't make the next step impossible."
Salvador slowly nodded.
