Storyline
She was upset and cried "Someone has stolen my pet owl Oly!"
"They told me if I wanted to get him back, I had to solve the riddles locked within this strange device!" she said, holding up a phone.
"I know not what this thing is, but you, who resides outside the land of dreams, surely does."
