Nerith & Ptichka
Nerith
Hey Ptichka, have you ever explored an old town that feels like a time capsule, with narrow lanes that hide forgotten cellars or secret passages? I love thinking about how people in the Middle Ages might have used those hidden spots for all sorts of mysterious purposes, and I'm curious—what's the most intriguing hidden place you've found in an urban adventure?
Ptichka
Sure, I once slipped into an old bakery tucked behind a narrow alley in a medieval town. A stack of flour sacks was the disguise, but behind them was a hidden door that opened onto a tiny, sun‑lit courtyard with a little fountain and wildflowers. It felt like I’d stumbled into a secret garden that the city had kept alive in its forgotten corners, and I just loved the mystery of it all.

That sounds like a scene straight out of a forgotten chronicle, Ptichka. Imagine the bakers who guarded that door, the whispered tales of saints or smugglers who once hid there. It’s the kind of hidden garden that makes a historian’s heart beat faster, like finding a secret stanza in an old psalm. Have you ever tried to sketch the layout or imagine the stories that could have unfolded under that fountain?
