The ferry sliced quietly through moonlit waters toward Lysøen Island, the mysterious silhouette of Ole Bull’s villa emerging from darkness. Maximillian, Sarah, and Emily stood at the railing, watching the strange shapes of twisted trees swaying gently in the night breeze. Their hearts quickened in anticipation of the clue hidden somewhere ahead.
Landing softly on the shore, the trio approached the villa cautiously, drawn toward lights flickering faintly within. Sarah pointed toward a side entrance left ajar, inviting them silently forward. They slipped inside unnoticed, curiosity guiding every careful step through dimly lit hallways.
In the grand music room, beneath crystal chandeliers casting shimmering reflections, Emily discovered a familiar blue ribbon neatly tied around an ornate violin. «Someone wants us here,» she whispered, cautiously lifting the instrument to reveal another cryptic note tucked beneath.
Sarah quickly read aloud, «Music’s key unlocks the way, to a place where past memories stay.» Maximillian nodded thoughtfully, pointing eastward through the villa’s tall windows. «Gamlehaugen,» he declared confidently, «where history and secrets surely remain.»
Leaving the island swiftly, their minds raced with excitement. Gamlehaugen awaited them, a majestic castle filled with untold mysteries and clues bringing them ever closer to solving Bergen’s great Easter enigma.
