She knocked on one of the walls, curious about the hidden structure. An unexpected hollow sound responded. Suddenly, she felt a jolt of pure elation.

Carefully, she ran her hand along the area, searching for any give. A seam, nearly invisible, revealed itself. With a gentle push, a panel sprang open. Inside, a narrow staircase descended into darkness.
