The map was almost complete, just a missing piece, to find the treasure we need to to find that piece. We've sailed all around the sea just to find the island where this piece was kept. Some years ago, a legend was told about a bottle carrying a message, this message hold the key to the missing piece of the map, how would the map be found. They found their way to the island, but it was infested with beast and dangerous creatures. The couldn't go through, obstacles were abound everywhere. Inspite of the bottle they needed to find the message. It was deep in some cake on the island.
They read the message in the bottle and it led them straight to where the missing piece of the map. They headed straight to where the missing piece was. The bottled message led them to the exact spot. They found the missing map but there was something they needed, the bottled message wasn't complete, they had to go back to the island, for the message to be fully revealed.
