On a clear Saturday morning, Elara and Damien gathered a small group of volunteers from
the community, including Lucy, who was now a talented photographer capturing the essence
of Briar's Edge.
"We're not just searching for treasure," Elara explained to the group as they stood outside
the lighthouse. "We're uncovering our history and honoring those who came before us."
The group nodded, their spirits high as they ascended the winding staircase of the
lighthouse, anticipation building with each step. As they reached the top, Elara felt the
familiar thrill of the sea breeze, its salty scent invigorating her senses.
"Let's start our search here," Damien suggested, pointing to a section of the wall that looked
slightly different from the rest.
With tools in hand, they began to pry at the seams, working together with determination.
Lucy documented the process, capturing the camaraderie and excitement in her
photographs.After what felt like hours of labor, a creaking noise echoed through the air, and a hidden
compartment revealed itself, unveiling an ornate chest nestled within the wall.
