Unearthing the Past

Days turned into weeks as Alex Mason continued to immerse himself in his investigation. He balanced his daytime responsibilities with his nocturnal pursuits, each day bringing him a step closer to understanding the Court of Owls.

During the day, Alex meticulously went through city archives and old records, hoping to find any trace of the Court's activities. One morning, as he sat in the dusty confines of an old library, he stumbled upon a ledger that recorded transactions dating back over a century. To his surprise, many entries referenced properties and businesses that had mysteriously changed hands, often coinciding with periods of political or economic upheaval.

That evening, Alex donned his Owlman attire and headed to one of these properties, an abandoned warehouse on the waterfront. The building, now a hollow shell, once buzzed with activity. Inside, Alex found remnants of its past life: rusted machinery, broken crates, and scraps of paper that hinted at its former use.

As he sifted through the debris, he discovered an old, hidden safe behind a crumbling wall. With a few well-placed tools, he pried it open to reveal a collection of documents. Among them were letters and ledgers, all bearing the insignia of an owl. These documents detailed transactions and correspondences, confirming the Court's covert influence over the city's industries.

Alex's heart pounded with a mix of excitement and unease. He knew he was on the right path, but he also understood the gravity of the secrets he was unearthing. He carefully collected the documents and slipped back into the night, determined to study his findings further.
