"Under the gaze of the moon, embedded within a bottle is the key to your freedom" this message was written on the edges of the map.
"What does this mean", Reese asked the sage.
"It's your journey, you have to figure it out" he replied.
"The gaze of the moon" Reece repeated this over and over in his mind, to see if he could figure it out.
Then it hit him, the gaze of the moon was what the school hall was called.
When the moon was high in the sky, it reflected through the glass roof. "The bottle must be buried directly under the glass opening, but what key does it hold?" Reece questioned himself.
He found his way to the gaze of the moon and dug up the bottle. In it was a small piece of paper that read; "The path you seek, is directly in front".
"Not again", he shouted
In front of him was a straight line, he followed it into a room to find green bottles arranged in the shape of a star, in the middle was a transparent one that had a message which read; "You're the key", he smiled and walked away.
