The hunt has begun, being sent by the master to retrieve the most sought after antique known and unknown to man is laid upon me, I dare not disappoint him. I've been trained for this and made successful many operations in time past.

I won't disappoint my master.

So we made our journey to the center of the Middle East, Iraq, to a location we found the name hard to pronounce, the map directed us to a place, on getting there, it was a grave yard. So we bent down to start working, I mean digging up corpse to give way.

Digging wasn't a big deal to me till the ground starts to make some metallic echo back sounds, I knew we were getting close, close to what, you might ask, the unknown my friend, here is said to be the place father Abraham was buried, deep in the war torn part of eastern Iraq, close to the city capital, history has it that God himself first wrote the Ten Commandments and gave him, but he lost it. Thereby passing it on to Moses. The legends were true anyway, with some glimpse of truth in it.

We made to open the hatch to find a passage way made of ancient bricks, running through ruins just forty feet to the surface sounds heroic until everything starts falling apart, then the antique treasure becomes a curse and gateway to dying shortly. But we've put precautions in place to safeguard embarkment.

We saw a door and tried to enter in, it looks like a door made of stones, so moving it will surely cause some shifting which might result in something very dangerous for us all here.

We gently drift a hole and carve out enough circumference to allow us crawl in, one by one we came in and right in front of is the most antique thing ever seen. The book written by God himself.
