Tamsin could not believe her fortune. Arriving at the beach where the drop was located, she surveyed the area, but could not see a living soul in sight. Despite all the odds, she appeared to have managed to reach the item unchallenged. Not taking such an opportunity for granted, the maid rushed towards the small crate, the elements having taken their toll on its wet and battered exterior. As a result, it was a relatively simple task for the servant to pry it open and claim the prize laying inside.
She found....a mask. The girl was not certain what to make of this discovery. Certainly, a mask could serve as valuable protective gear. But this particular mask was not only damaged, it did not appear to have any means by which it could actually be worn. But the servant did recall that masks have been known to contain mystical properties. She wondered if this was the case here as well.
However, her time for pondering was cut short as the sound of moving water reached her ears. Turning around, she noticed a large wave forming, heading straight for the beach she was standing on.
'Aaaaah!' she reacted and scrambled to move out of its reach. Fortunately for the young woman, her speed was sufficient that she was able to evade the rolling water as it slammed into the sandy area. However, the now exposed crate wasn't as lucky. The torrent of water sent it flying into a nearby boulder, causing it to break with an audible crack, before the debris fell back into the water and got pulled away into the sea.
Panting, Tamsin noticed that her trek to the item had taken so long that the sun was already setting on the island. Realising that she was running out of time if she wanted to reach the safety of one of the safe houses, she proceeded straight back to the jungle despite how exhausting the journey to that place already was.
