Johanna blushed a deep shade of red at Asher's correction, "Ah yes, I forgot how far I had travelled..." She offered up weakly.

If one were meant to be a story-teller, it would be Asher. He mesmerized Johanna with the idea of unthinkable amounts of treasure waiting to be discovered and claimed. A small portion of the treasure regained would surely lift her family out of poverty, Johanna was certain. She hung onto every word, storing away information that would be useful later.

As he rose up from the floor, Asher politely excused himself, promising not to touch Johanna in her sleep, and she smiled at that. He had left the scroll out, and she couldn't help but stare at it in wonder. She desperately wanted to examine it personally, but she felt that her actions would be looked down upon, so she resisted. Following Asher's lead, Johanna rose up and moved towards her bed. She pulled the quilted covers on the bed down, and slipped inside. "Good night Asher." Johanna murmured from her bed, the only sound in the room to be heard was the cracking of the wood inside the fireplace.

Closing her eyes, Johanna tried to lull herself to sleep. She laid awake for hours, staring quietly at the wooden rafters above her. Her eyes followed the grain of the wood until she became lost in it. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Before she knew it, she found herself awake again, from the light shining through the windows, Johanna could tell that dawn was breaking. Sitting up in bed, Johanna looked over at Asher, she could tell he was sleeping by the rise and fall of his chest. The scroll had been on her mind, in her dreams as she had slept, she needed to see the rest of it. If anything, she needed to know where the map would be in present day since it was written so long ago.

Creeping out of bed, Johanna approached the scroll, and knelt before it. She carefully unrolled it, and examined the map upon closer inspection. The longer she studied it, the more she couldn't make sense of it. After a few minutes of confusion, Johanna rolled the parchment paper back up and placed it where she had found it.
