"A key?" Aurora asked, her voice tinged with a mixture of curiosity and slight apprehension. The ornate, tarnished object lay nestled in the palm of Theo's hand, catching the dappled sunlight filtering through the ancient trees. Everyone gathered around, their gazes fixed on the mysterious find.
"It seems so," Theo replied, a thoughtful frown creasing his brow. He carefully turned the key over, his fingers tracing its intricate patterns. "It's unlike any key I've ever seen before. So much detail..." He paused, his eyes widening slightly as he brought the key closer to his face. "Guys, I think there are some inscriptions on this key!"
"Really?"
"What does it say? Can you read it to us?"
"Come on, Theo! Don't keep us in suspense!"
Theo shook his head, a hint of frustration in his tone. "I wish I could. It's too small for me to make out clearly, and even if it wasn't, the script... it looks like ancient Yamatese. I can only recognize a few characters."
