coming from the kitchen. Rimi froze for a moment, unsure of what could have caused the noise. She hesitated but eventually decided to investigate. Slowly, she crept towards the kitchen, her heart pounding in her chest. As she reached the door, she saw a shadow moving behind the curtain.
Her breath caught in her throat, but she mustered the courage to pull the curtain aside. To her surprise, it was just a stray cat that had knocked over a few pots and pans. Rimi sighed in relief, chuckling at her own fear. She gently shooed the cat out of the house and returned to her book.
Just as she was about to immerse herself in the story again, the doorbell rang. Rimi, still on edge from the earlier incident, cautiously approached the front door. Peeking through the peephole, she saw a delivery man holding a package. She opened the door, puzzled, as she wasn’t expecting any deliveries.
"Are you Rimi?" the man asked. “This package is for you.”
Confused, but curious, she took the package. It was small and wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address. As she opened it, her eyes widened in shock—inside was an old, dusty map. Along with the map was a note: “Your adventure begins now.”
