The morning sun streamed through the windows of Elias’s hotel room, casting a warm, golden glow over the scattered maps, notes, and the now-familiar journal provided by Marcus Varro. The three of them sat around the small table, the weight of their decisions from the previous night still lingering in the air, but they were ready to solidify their plans.
“The journal appears to be authentic,” Elias said, carefully turning the delicate pages. His fingers traced the faded ink as he spoke. “The historical references align with known events of the early 18th century, and the handwriting is consistent throughout. It’s a remarkable document—less a theoretical treatise and more a firsthand account.”
“And it’s not just the journal,” Layla added, her voice thoughtful as she leaned over the table. “Combined with the manuscripts and artifacts we’ve already gathered, it paints a clear picture of how these rituals were practiced—not just imagined. The writer’s descriptions of the initiation process are meticulous, almost tangible. It feels like we’re getting closer to understanding the full scope of this tradition.”
Sahara sat back in her chair, her arms crossed as she considered the implications. “We’ve already agreed to limited cooperation with the Custodians,” she said, her tone pragmatic. “But we need to define exactly what that means moving forward. What are we willing to share, and what do we insist on keeping to ourselves? Their resources could be invaluable, but we can’t let them dictate the course of our research.”
Elias nodded, his expression serious. “Agreed. Our independence is non-negotiable. If they want to contribute historical insights or logistical support, we’ll welcome it. But we’re the ones steering this ship. And I think the next step is clear: we need to investigate the Cappadocia site. Whether or not there’s still an active community there, it’s the logical next piece of the puzzle.”
Layla’s eyes lit up at the mention of Cappadocia. “Exactly. Completing the pattern established by the first two locations could unlock connections we’re not even seeing yet. The rituals, the architecture, the symbolism—it’s all interconnected. Cappadocia might be the key to pulling it all together.”
Sahara straightened, her decision firm. “Then it’s settled. We’ll reach out to Varro and formalize the terms of our cooperation—information exchange, but no strings attached. And we’ll start planning the expedition to Cappadocia immediately. We need to secure the right equipment and expertise to analyze the manuscripts and artifacts we’ve already collected, but Cappadocia has to be the priority.”
The room fell quiet for a moment as the weight of their next steps settled over them. It was a daunting task, but there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air—a shared determination to uncover the truths hidden in the shadows of history. With their approach solidified, they turned to the practical details.
“I know a private laboratory in Rome that specializes in ancient organic materials,” Elias suggested. “They’ve worked with archaeological samples before and can be trusted to maintain confidentiality.”
“And I have contacts at the University of Naples who could help with the linguistic analysis of the new manuscript,” Layla added. “We could split our efforts—Elias takes the sealed vessels to Rome for analysis, I work with local experts on the manuscript, and Sahara...”
“I’ll handle the Cappadocia preparations,” Sahara finished. “Permits, logistics, and preliminary research on the specific location indicated by the map.”
They spent the morning organizing these next steps, each focusing on their area of expertise. By noon, they had a comprehensive plan for the coming days. Elias would travel to Rome with the sealed vessels from both France and Italy, seeking analysis of their contents. Layla would remain in Naples, working with linguistic experts on the newly discovered manuscript. Sahara would begin the process of securing permits for Turkey and researching the specific region of Cappadocia indicated on their map.
As they prepared to separate for these tasks, Sahara contacted Marcus Varro to arrange a meeting for that evening. His response came quickly, agreeing to meet at a small restaurant near the harbor.
The day passed in a flurry of activity. Sahara spent hours on the phone and computer, navigating the complex bureaucracy of Turkish archaeological permits. By late afternoon, she had made progress but encountered an unexpected complication.
“The area indicated on our map falls within a restricted zone,” she explained when they reconvened before the meeting with Varro. “Part of a national park with limited access, especially for archaeological activities.”
“Could that be deliberate?” Layla wondered. “If there is indeed an active community there, they might have influenced local regulations to protect their privacy.”
“It’s possible,” Sahara agreed. “Which makes our conversation with Varro even more important. We need to understand exactly what we might be walking into.”
The restaurant Varro had chosen was a small, family-owned establishment away from the main tourist areas. When they arrived, he was already seated at a corner table, a glass of wine before him and the relaxed demeanor of someone comfortable in his surroundings.
“Miss Quinn, Dr. Kane, Dr. Hassan,” he greeted them as they joined him. “I trust you’ve had time to examine the journal and consider my proposal.”
“We have,” Sahara replied, taking the lead as they had agreed. “We’re open to limited cooperation—sharing information and consulting with your organization before publication. But we maintain our academic independence and the right to pursue our research as we see fit.”
Varro nodded, seemingly unsurprised by their position. “A reasonable starting point. And what of Cappadocia? Do you intend to investigate the third site?”
“Yes,” Sahara said directly. “Though we’ve encountered some bureaucratic challenges with permits for the area.”
A slight smile crossed Varro’s face. “As expected. The region has certain protections in place. Which brings me to a more specific proposal.” He leaned forward, lowering his voice slightly. “Rather than attempting to navigate these obstacles independently, consider allowing me to facilitate your visit. As guests rather than researchers, initially.”
“Guests of whom, exactly?” Elias asked, his tone cautious.
“Of the community that has maintained the tradition since its founding,” Varro replied. “The Keepers of the Flame, as they call themselves locally. They are aware of your discoveries and your approach to the material. Some are curious to meet you; others are more hesitant.”
“And you have influence with this community?” Layla inquired.
“I am a liaison between various branches of our tradition,” Varro explained. “Not all Custodians are in regular contact with the Cappadocian community, but I have spent time there and earned a degree of trust.”
Sahara exchanged glances with Elias and Layla, a silent communication passing between them. This was an unexpected development, but potentially a valuable opportunity.
“What would this visit entail, exactly?” she asked.
“You would come as academic visitors interested in the historical and cultural aspects of the region. I would introduce you to key members of the community. You would learn about their traditions and practices through direct observation and conversation. No formal research, no sample collection, no documentation—at least initially.”
“And if we agree to this approach, what happens after this initial visit?” Elias pressed.
“That would depend on how the visit unfolds,” Varro replied candidly. “If mutual trust is established, more formal research arrangements might be possible. If not...” He shrugged. “At minimum, you would have gained insights impossible to obtain through conventional archaeological methods.”
Sahara considered the proposal carefully. It represented a significant deviation from their original plan but offered potential access to a living tradition connected to their manuscripts—an anthropological gold mine, if genuine.
“We would need certain assurances,” she said finally. “Our safety, freedom to leave at any time, and the ability to maintain contact with colleagues outside the community.”
“Of course,” Varro agreed readily. “You would not be entering a cult compound, Miss Quinn. The community lives in a traditional village, integrated with the local population while maintaining their distinct practices. You would stay in a guest house, have access to communication, and be free to depart whenever you wish.”
After further discussion of practical details, they agreed to consider Varro’s proposal and give him their decision the following day. As they left the restaurant, Sahara felt both excitement and caution about this potential new direction.
“What do you think?” she asked her companions as they walked back toward their hotel.
“It’s risky,” Elias acknowledged. “But the opportunity to observe a living tradition connected to our manuscripts is unprecedented from a research perspective.”
“I agree,” Layla said. “If this community truly represents an unbroken lineage from the ancient mystery cult, the anthropological value alone would be extraordinary.”
