Secret room under the library
At the Mroczek University, hidden between the grey tenements of the old town, time flowed a little differently. The old walls seemed to whisper stories from centuries ago, and dusty corridors led to places about which one could vainly find information in guidebooks.
On one gloomy autumn evening, when most of the students were preparing for their colloquia, Anka, Michał and Lena decided to take a look in the cellar under the faculty library. On the surface, they were looking for Lena's lost bag, but in fact they were driven by simple curiosity.
