As Mark was about to throw away the old bottle, he saw that there was a piece of paper

inside it. Mark is a kind-hearted kid when he was helping the locals to clean up the beaches. As he
was picking up the thrashes, he found a fascinating old bottle with a unique design that he never
seen before. As he was inspecting the old bottle however, he found out that there was a piece of
paper inside it and decide to take it out. His fatigued face turned to surprise as the paper had a map
drawn into it with some scribble. He then took the bottle home with him and decided to show it to
his friend, Alex. Alex is a one of a kind Genius as he is the top student in history studies. Alex was so
shocked that he wasted no time and took the paper from Mark. The old scribble was actually an
ancient Egyptian language. Alex is a fool for old Egyptian item as he found it very interesting. Alex
spend hours to decode the language and he found out that the writer is from a famous Egyptian
philosopher, Hypatia, who is a prominent figure in astronomy studies. They wake their friend Martin,
who is a geologist to find the location on the given map. Martin immediately found the location
which is in a forest and they planned a trip to the location. They would not know that this journey
will be an arduous one which will test their patience as a team.

The day has come for them to go on a journey. Even though Martin overslept, they all safely
arrive at the appointed time. They all took flight and arrive at the airport without any issues. It was
already nighttime so they all went to the hotel and started sleeping. When they sleep however, the
map shone brightly and wakes everyone up. It is a signal that they are at the right place. The sound
of birds chirping wakes Mark up and he found out that someone has broken into their hotel rooms
and steal the maps. Mark wakes everyone up and told them about the situation, they all look around
the town asking people about someone suspicious but found nothing. Everyone felt like the journey
has been a waste and nearly gave up when Martin actually took a picture of the map. The only thing
missing is the ancient text written on the paper. However, this will not slow them down and they all
continued with their journey. They have received permission to enter the forest, but the locals have
warned them that the forest is haunted and people that entered the forest never came out of it.
They steel their resolve and enter the forest during noon.

The thick forest was hard to navigate, but with the help of Martin, they never lost their way in
the woods…is what they thought but Alex noticed that they have been going around in circle. Martin
then whispered to them, “someone is following us”. They then pick up the pace and run through the
forest with Martin’s lead and they heard a shot has been fired while running away. They came across
a big ravine with a fast-flowing river at the bottom of the ravine. Without any more thought, Martin
jump into the river followed by Alex and Mark. Luckily, the river is deep enough to cover their fall
and nobody suffered any injuries. They go with the flow of the river and they arrived at a peculiar
place. There were a lot of people there, inside the forest was a home to an ancient tribe. They all
speaks gibberish, and suddenly the horn was blown indicating the arrival of the chieftain of the tribe.
The chief took out a paper and wrote something…it was ancient Egyptian language which Alex could
read and answer with the paper. Alex told the chief that they had found a map in a bottle indicating
the location of this place. The chieftain is surprised by his words and showed them a piece of paper
which is an exact copy of the paper Mark found inside the bottle. The chief provided them with a
place to sleep as the sun is setting already. The following day, Mark was walking around the village
where he found a really interesting sword, which resembles the family heirloom passed down by his
grandfather. He felt confused as to why a sword from an ancient tribe is his family heirloom and
asked the chief about the sword. The chieftain was bewildered about his statement as there is only
20 pieces of the sword created at the village by a famous craftsman. It turns out that his grandfather
was the only person from the village to venture out to the outside world. They all had a wonderful
night to celebrate the return of the descendants of one of the heroes of the village.
