I remembered entering the temple, but I didn't know what happened after that, and how I ended up in this place. Suddenly, I lowered my gaze and glanced at my jacket. My eyes widened, and I had to look at the jacket again, because I could not find the body camera that I had hung on the jacket before I entered the temple. I rose to my feet quickly as I looked around, but the body camera was nowhere to be found. I even had to remove my backpack from my back and look inside of it, searching for the body camera, even though I was certainly sure that it was on my jacket that I had hung the body camera earlier. With my backpack on the floor and my hands on my hips, I began to wonder. Today seemed really off. That village, especially that temple, was weird. I have to return home now. Later, I will return to the village with my colleagues to explore it together. I grabbed my backpack and hung it on my back, before I began to leave. Twenty minutes after walking endlessly with heavy groan
Wails!Rumble, rumble, rumble!It was the same ordinary day in Selitopian, until suddenly, a very threatening earthquake hit the land, bringing fear to the hearts of the people. Houses shook. Mansions shook. The dwelling places of the rulers also shook, threatening to collapse to the ground.People were screaming, and were trying to get to safety. The earthquake rendered even the most powerful helpless. Within the deepest room in the mansion of Gwafindol's ruler, the book of prophecy that had remained shut for years, opened. The blind seer's eyes opened, revealing a pair of white eyes as she stared in the direction of the large-sized book that was placed on a stone that was meters tall. She was sitting on a chair and her body never stopped shaking as concrete dust escaped from the ceiling and found its way to the floor. It was the earthquake's doing. The seer with white hair was in charge of guarding the book of prophecy that had shut itself for years, refusing to open. It was
I stayed hidden in the room and tried to hold my breath most of the time as I peeked outside the room through the cracks in the door. The temple was empty. So, little noises like even breathing were loud. Gradually, the footsteps disappeared into faint sounds. And finally, I couldn't hear it anymore. Funny. But it was after the footsteps stopped that my heart began to hit me like a drum. My hands were already sweaty, and I only noticed that now. “I never knew until today that I was a scared cat”. I muttered. Though I didn't blame myself. The doors leading outside the temple were shut. As a result of that, I was scared out of my pants because I didn't know any other exit. Like literally, it hasn't been up to ten minutes since I entered the temple. I wouldn't lie, thanks to those footsteps, I was ready to get the heck out of this temple. There was this saying; He who runs away, lives to fight another day. That was indeed the truth. Once I eventually make it out of this
Only a small amount of light through the hole, and my torchlight reflected in the darkness. The village was built using red and light yellow clay. And unlike cities where buildings were built apart from each other, this village's buildings were built so close to each other. But there was a particular building that stood out among the other buildings.It was a temple which was located in the middle of the village and straight ahead in front of me. I had made my way there before, but I didn't explore the inside, since I didn't want to explore it with a sprained ankle. I may be reckless, but that didn't mean that I didn't care about my life. What if I had explored the temple with my sprained ankle and mistakenly ran into something dangerous?Yes. I have concluded that not a single alive soul was in the village. But I can never be so sure about that, since I have not explored the entire village. The only thing I did was call out if anyone was there. My voice echoed with no response.
I arrived outside the North Forest and parked my jeep there. After grabbing my backpack from the back seat, I went out of the Jeep and locked the door. Staring at the vast forest in front of me, I sighed deeply and smiled, before taking a brave step forward. I entered the forest and didn't have a hint of fear in me. That was one of the main reasons why my colleagues and other people called me crazy. Whatever. I was not a weakling nor a coward like them. It was because of the brave risks I took that I became a renowned scientist, all thanks to the great discoveries I made. If we begin to talk about all my accomplishments, a full notebook will not be able to record them all. Thanks to my research, I have developed the cure for many sicknesses and diseases such as ghelira, foploeha, uriamedle, and spunidesles. These illnesses and diseases were deadly. Many people were dying without warning. That was when I stepped in and saved the day after endless days and nights of research and e
Her pov, I will prove everyone wrong. I will show them that I am not crazy, but I am a genius. I will show them that they are simply ignorant.My name is Helena and this is my story. Ever since I was a kid, I have always been lonely, as I didn't have any parents or family members to call my own. How I came to this world, I didn't even know. All I knew was that, one day, I opened my eyes in the middle of nowhere, and I was alive. And at that moment, I wasn't a newborn baby or anything. If I am not mistaken, I looked like a ten-year-old kid back then. Well, I wasn't that sure, since I had no idea about my real age. My very existence caused me to become a scientist.It all began with me using myself for different experiments, because I had always had this deep rooted feeling inside of me that I wasn't a normal human being. Unlike humans who have to eat to survive, me, I could skip eating food or drinking water for a whole week, even a month, and I would look totally fine and heal
