Excerpt
"Xeoromir continued down to the eighth floor and found the top of the spiral staircase. Since the eighth floor appeared empty, he continued down to the seventh floor. On that floor, he located the origin of the noise.
The noise was emanating from a small locked brown box. Xeoromir picked up the box and found that it was both vibrating and hot. He pulled the key he found earlier out of his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole on the box.
When he turned the key, the lid of the box popped up and there was a brilliant flash of light. At once, the banging noise ceased. The box contained a small purple crystal sphere that was glowing brightly."
