It looked like a pouch and she called out Joanelle to examine it and figure out what was. Joanelle knew what it was, the moment she saw it.

Divya examined the peculiar puzzle box and said, “I have never seen anything like this. I would need some time to work on this. Would it be okay if I take it home, professor?”

Professor Joanelle looked up from her laptop’s screen and said, “We only have 2 days before our trip to Cape Matapan. Many believe that place to be an entryway into the underworld.
