Level: Intermediate (B1)

#Story :

Tessa, a young woman with an adventurous spirit, discovers an old journal in a lighthouse detailing the location of a hidden cove said to hold treasures from a lost pirate crew. On the night of a full moon, she follows a secret path, guided by moonlight, and finds the cove. Inside, she encounters a mysterious chest filled with ancient artifacts and a moving map. As she explores, ghostly apparitions of the pirate crew appear, warning her that only the worthy may leave the cove unscathed.

With this act, she earns the respect of the spirits and safely returns, forever changed by her encounter.
