[ There is a thin bound book wrapped inside plain brown paper wrapping. The pages are sewn into a cloth covered chipboard covers with "The Case of the Enchantidrone Ring" in gilt letters. Neat crisp, handwritten words written with black ink fill the pages. That said the writing inside, while accurate, will not win any literary awards. It's too factual, too scientific, too chronological. The author reveals details far too early and ruins the surprises Heizou and Sherlock encounter on their first case together. The writing ends with copies of Sherlock's character profiles and sketches on Jon Sigerson aka Kelp Noodle, Rip-It-Ren aka Shrimpy, Boss Murray the Enchanti addicted wind magic user, Lark the Burly Guard, Chimney Worm, Barnacle, and so on.
... Sherlock tried, Heizou. He really tried, but he's going to leave the writing up to his John Watson. Watson may not be published yet, but he is far better at his craft than Sherlock. He thinks. He's not actually read his works as they've gone to the bin or the fireplace instead of a publisher....
Also tucked inside, almost like a bookmark, is a slip of paper with little number puzzle. When solved, it will read 01061859 06011859. Essentially January 6th, 1859. Heizou is free to smack the smug face off Sherlock the next time he sees him, but he's possibly the only one who knows this date now unless someone had a Sherlock Holmes Fandom back in their world. Even then, the year would be wrong because he baby. ]
