  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a stone in Droughtvilla on my lands and it is said there is money hidden under it by men in olden times.
    No one ever looked for this money because it is believed that if anyone meddled with it, they would die.
    On this account no one ever made any attempt to search for it.
