He looked across the beach at the sand and saw something strange, something partially buried in the sand, almost as if the sand were slowly sinking in to it. He stood up, rushed over to it and began brushing the sand away from the surface. It was some kind of door or cover. But he couldn't find how it opened, so he started to dig around it so that he could clear the sand completely. As he cleared the sand he began to notice strange markings carved into the edges, and the surface. In an Ancient language he had never seen before.
