Vincent's Backpack - 44

Vincent calmed down, realizing his map was gone for good. “I guess you… must’ve taken a good look at that map.” He said. “Since when have you had it?” Marissa asked. “Was that really a map of the Mataraju?” Nate said. “Yeah…” said Vincent. “I was… working one day” Vincent narrated as he described the day he found it, when he was actually just slacking off by the river. “Something caught my attention in the river’s shore. At first I couldn’t believe it either. I noticed it was turn off from one side, but despite that you could navigate towards it if you find a starting point in the map itself. I kept it to myself and researched it on my own, but still had no idea where to start…” he said. “So, what’s the big prize, anyway?” Nita asked. “Legends speak of mythical creatures or ancient gods who live up there, but only old people remember those.” Vincent said with an air of mystique. But he wasn’t concerned with those stories either. “To me, there’s gotta be some relics to sell for good money.” He said.
