The Order of Things

My story begins with a package that was sent to me by a prospector named One-Tooth. One night, as we sat together by a campfire, hementioned that if he found anything of interest, he would send it my way. He knew that I was searching for spiritual artifacts in New Mexico. The package contained a long, large animal tooth, a curious lock of hair, a map and several pages written on animal skin. I examined the tooth and the hair in my laboratory.I was astounded at my findings. I tested my equipment to make sure it was reading the DNA and Bone Carbon Dating correctly. Every instrument was working properly and calibrated exactly. I sat in my chair and stared at the tooth and hair longer than I care to admit.What I held in my hands was undeniably incredible. I couldn't believe my findings, but there was the indisputable data right there in front of me. I finally put the tooth and hair aside and started to decipher the skins. What I found in them put me in awe. I transcribed them and put them in an airtight container to preserve them. I had no choice but to leave for New Mexico immediately to find One-Tooth and make him show me where he discovered what he sent. I had a feeling this would lead me on a wild, wondrous and captivating adventure.
