    The Sea Dragon, a symbol of adventure and daring, has docked in the port of your small village. You're extremely excited to meet the infamous treasure hunters... or at least see them. Quickly completing your chores, you rush over to the pier, hoping to catch a glimpse of your heros.

    When you get down to the beach, you spot the ship. An ornate galleon with snow-white sails and a dragon figurehead. People are walking on and off the boat, carrying barrels and crates. A crowd assembles at the end of the pier -- they appear to be listening to someone speaking. Curious, you make your way over to the crowd. They seem to be flocking toward a woman in a large black hat, who's sitting on a wooden crate.

    "We last stopped in the island off the coast of the northern border," she says. "Seemed promising, but even after two weeks of searching we found nothing."

    She continues telling the tale of how she searched the island for a certain "Treasure of Queen Sapphire", and after thirty minutes or so the crowd dissipates. You, of course, are so fascinated by the story that you can't help but stay and listen.

    But when the last person leaves, the woman looks at you with a smug grin.

    "They'll believe anything," she snorts, shaking her head. "I doubt the Queen Sapphire diamond is even real, but it makes for an exciting story, no?"
