The story
In an ancient library, a narrator opens an old book. Inside, a lost sea dog sets out to find his lost love, who waits by the sea at sunset. A map leads him to a forgotten spyglass, pirate galleons sail toward an island in the sun, and a sorceress raises a glowing pyramid at the foot of a waterfall. When he finds a green heart-shaped stone, everything changes. The book closes on a table full of objects from the tale, and a chest that hints at more.
What you see
An ancient library with a painted ceiling, a globe and an old book, pages turning into water, a forest waterfall, a hooded sorceress holding a pyramid, ruins covered in green, an old map and a compass, a spyglass pointed at the sunset, pirate galleons near an island, the world under the water, a woman barefoot on a beach at sunset and an abandoned village on a hill.
