Author's POV

The winter will be here in two months before that jungkook needs to acquire the stone. There is no time to waste. Jungkook studied the map very well. He heard from his mentor that for an adventurer mountaineer it's necessary to know the route to achieve his/her ultimate goal. He was so excited to start the journey not only because of the curse but also because of his interest in taking adventurous journeys. Jungkook haven't made a trip for a long time due to his work pressure in his Dad's company. Its gonna be a wonderful exploration for him. He packed his trucking bag and started his journey.

In his tent build in the Daisy field he search for the map in his bag. He took it out and take a view. The mountain shows which he needed to climb up for the cave of sapphire is just in front of him. He wondered why this place and the cave is not familiar with the people! And why haven't anyone tried to get into the cave!

Jungkook's POV

I took my bag and walked to route as shown in the map. After walking for hours I reached a village. I saw children roaming around the streets with their wide laugh, women were chit chatting, the village people seemed sweet from their reaction towards me. I saw a young man who seemed to be friendly, I reached near to him and enquired regarding the cave of sapphire.

I saw a sudden change of expression in his face and quickly he made my mouth shut with his hands and brought me in to his house. He offered me peach tea but I refused, instead i asked for water. He brought water in a glass. While I was sipping the water he speak up

"Are you really in search of the sapphire cave?"

He questioned with an amusement in his tone.
Without any hesitation I nodded.

"Whom have you heard it from? Sorry to say this, you are in the wrong way. You shouldn't go after the sapphire. It's very dangerous!"

The curiosity build up inside my mind. I asked the young man

" I have heard it from my grandparents. Why everyone is afraid of the sapphire cave? It's just a cave with blue stone. what's so big deal in it."

I shrugged and waited for his reply. He shows me picture hanged in the white walls of his house. It was a photograph of a good looking gentleman who will be in mid of his 30's. With a sorrowful face he continued

"That was my brother. He was the only person in this village to earn education outside the boundary. He was so brave and strong. All the people in this village is familiar with the stories of the cave of sapphire and it's Guard Kim Taehyung. My brother challenged the village people regarding Blue Belle of Asia- the precious stone and enrouted to the cave. Till the date he haven't returned. The rumors are being spread all over. Besides him many others tried to acquire the stone but everyone's life ended there itself. "

He released a deep sigh. I could see the sorrow and fear in his eyes. But what happened to the people who went up there!
Why everyone is afraid of this guard Kim Taehyung! Is he that cruel? Does he looks like a beast?

I think I need to know more about this cave and guard before stepping forward, i think to myself.
