The dirt tumbled away from the box, revealing a metal surface that seemed to gleam in the soft light. Elara felt a burst of joy. She didn't remember burying it. It was like a gift from the past.

She knelt and opened the box, her heart racing. Inside, she saw a collection of postcards, a small, ceramic figurine, and a well-loved copy of a book.

She picked up a postcard and began to read, feeling a warm sensation wash over her. This was going to be amazing!
