The circle of soot seems too precise to be naturally occurring.
Much of the paper is too burnt to still be readable, but underneath a few layers, she will find legible pieces that threaten to crumble if handled too roughly. They are fragments of maps, one piece containing a legend and the words Mathias, established 1693. There is not much that can be discerned from the rest of the pieces she can read, though she will have one look at a stretch of forest and a large building nestled amidst them—
And then she will wake where she last slept, covered in dust, with the key in her hand and soot on her fingers.
