Copper in a puzzlebox.
In a dusty drawer, in a locked table, in an attic, there is a cylander, twisted with vines, with two black wood stoppers at each side. It once contained a missive to a king, to stop a war. It has held secrets incomparable, but now it contains a single copper piece, a memento of another adventure, another life.
To the man who travelled this journey, loves the stories of the past the box brings, but is also regretful, for much pain comes with the actions done during this time. Knife marks around one edge hint at someone's illegal attempts at getting inside.
