"The Celestial Seven"

Claps of thunder filled the air as the wind blew wildly. When lightening struck, it came only inches from hitting the O'Connor's residence. A few seconds later, another claps of thunder surrounded the area, causing Amelia to wake up with a gasp.


Amelia climbed out of bed tiredly. She then proceeded to go downstairs to her living room to see what was going on. Just as she reached the bottom of the staircase, she heard someone knocking at her door. So, Amelia lazily walked over to the door and answered it.



"Hello?" she asked as she looked up at a man dressed in a white uniform. "I have a package for a Professor Amelia O'Connor." He said. "Yeah, that's me." Amelia replied tiredly. "Just bring it in the living room." "Can you sign this receipt please?" he asked her. "Yeah, I will." She replied as she signed the receipt, and then stepped aside to let the deliveryman take the package inside.



A few seconds later, three very muscular men dressed in the same white uniform came through her door way, carrying a very large box. Amelia looked at the tattered box in amazement, for it was much larger than she was and wondered what was in it. After setting the abnormally large box in her living room, they left and entered the back of the truck again. This time, only two of the men came back, each of them carrying a small box, which was about the size of an average shoe box. After they set the two small boxes down, Amelia thanked the men, and they left.



She then walked over to the door and closed it. Afterwards she walked over to the larger box and searched for a way to open it. Seeing that the tattered box was fairly ordinary, Amelia took out her pocketknife and carefully sliced it open. When she sliced the last side of the tattered box, the sides fell to the floor of her living room, revealing a chest that stood upright. The chest was beautifully decorated with real gold and silver Chinese emblems on it. It also had chains wrapped around it and it was locked. Amelia sighed as she didn't see a key with it and reached over to grab one of the smaller boxes. She lifted the tarnished box and plopped it down upon her lap. She carefully opened it with her pocketknife then looked inside of it.
