The friends were amazed by the treasure they had found. As they were admiring the gold and jewels, Ava noticed a small piece of paper tucked into the corner of the chest. She pulled it out and saw that it was a message written in a language they didn't recognize.

Excited by the mystery, the friends gathered around as Max tried to decipher the message. After a few minutes of intense concentration, he finally figured it out. The message read, "Congratulations, brave adventurers. You have proven yourselves worthy of the lost treasure. But your journey is not yet over. Follow the path to the north and you will find the true treasure."

The friends were intrigued and decided to follow the instructions. They packed up the treasure and set off on their journey once again. As they traveled through the island, they encountered many obstacles and challenges, but they worked together and overcame them all.

Finally, they reached the northern part of the island and found a hidden cave. Inside, they discovered a beautiful crystal that glowed with a bright light. The friends were in awe and knew that this was the true treasure they were meant to find.

But as they were about to take the crystal, they heard a loud rumbling noise. The ground began to shake and the walls of the cave started to crumble. The friends quickly realized that they had triggered a trap set by the previous owners of the treasure.

Thinking quickly, Ben remembered a story he had read about a magical chant that could stop any trap. He recited the chant and the rumbling stopped. The friends were relieved and took the crystal with them as they made their way out of the cave.

As they emerged from the cave, they saw that the sun was setting and it was time for them to head back home. They were exhausted but filled with excitement and wonder at the adventure they had just experienced. They couldn't wait to share their story with their families and friends.

And as they sailed back home, they knew that they had not only found the lost treasure, but they had also discovered the true value of friendship and teamwork. From that day on, they were known as the brave adventurers who not only found the lost treasure, but also the magical crystal that brought them even closer together. The end.
