The Search...

 I went home and felt like I had failed. As I laid in bed I began to think where else could I find information about the iron door. Then I remembered a book I had read in the vault a few prior years about how some things from the town were sent to a museum in the city.  Which included a book of all the original families to live in the town when it was founded. I asked my father if I was able to go into the city he said I could If he came with me. Two days later we went and I read the documents over and over and there was no mention of R.L.M or any families with that combination in their names. 

But there was mention of a D.Marks and E.Marks they had one child but the name was never mentioned. I managed to find where the Marks lived. The house by the bay and was abandoned for many, many years. It was just a ruin now of a very old Victorian style home that was very large.  You could say it was a shell of its former self. I searched the house and found that the study was almost fully intact. There was a large faded painting of a young handsome man dressed in very expensive clothes. He was holding a pocket watch with R.L.M on it. I searched the study and found a floor safe.

 I returned a few days later with a hammer. I used it to break the lock of the safe and managed to open it. It was filled with papers and other valuables but at the bottom was a large oddly shaped key that was shaped like a wolve's head.  With a wooden slip tied to it that said D.wolfe. I gathered all the contents of the safe and put them all in my satchel.

 As I was walking out I saw a huge oil painting of a handsome man and beautiful woman standing behind a young man with dark cold eyes. Under it read Daniel Marks and Elizabeth Marks with their only surviving son Romulus Marks.   It was near dark when I started to head home. I right over the hill that looks over the town when I froze in place. There no more than ten feet in front of me was a lean grey wolf with bright yellow eyes. It looked at me and stood there looking at me before departing.
