Nestled amongst dusty trinkets, a small, ornate box rested, its lock adorned with a crimson jewel. Her heart pounded as she lifted the lid. Inside, nestled on velvet, lay a single, gleaming key. It felt warm in her hand, pulsing with an ancient energy. The inscription on the box read: "Unlock the past." A shiver ran down Amelia's spine. The journey had only just begun.
