As she approached the cave and peered into the darkness, she would be surprised to see that rough steps have been cut into the earth, and this 'cave' was in fact the entrance of a tunnel! As she slowly descended the steps, she was very careful not to trip because of how slippery they were due to mold and mildew that encrusted over them. When she reached the bottom of the staircase, the first thing she noticed was a silvery box that sat on a shelf nearby.<br/><br/>She could try to open the box and find out what was inside, or press on to investigate the tunnel and see where it would lead. Alternatively, she could retrace her steps and return to her original quest to warn the king.
