So there I was, inside my room preparing my stuff for school camp, when suddenly a strange voice rang in my head. It was a cold and dark evening, I wore 3 layers of clothing and still the wind chilled me to the bone. Trees and grasses outside the room were dancing wildly in the middle of the dark sky. The wind outside was cold enough to freeze the water.
As soon as I had my things ready, I turned off the TV and went to read the novel I bought the other day. The novel was interesting, but I wasn’t able to finish it as my eyes were already too heavy to read, and I went to sleep.
All of a sudden, I woke up exactly at 12 midnight to grab some food. I opened the door of the refrigerator and found some food. Then I heard the same strange voice from the attic of the house. I got curious and try to find out where the voice came from.
The attic was empty. But I was sure it was worth a try to find something unusual. There, I walked another step inside to the window of the attic and opened the curtain. I turned back and saw a glimpse of shadow outside the door of the attic. Slowly, I stepped outside the door, and looked behind the door, suddenly…… I don’t want to describe that face.
It was just a dream. I woke up in the morning with sweat all over my body, considering the fact that it was really cold that night. I made sure that I had everything ready for the camp, and then I rushed down the road to the school.
My school is not like the other usual school. We have a lot of military activities here, starting from a simple physical exercise to a heavy training like defending ourselves using blunt objects. The teachers here even taught us how to detect a furtive ethereal form of a spirit, which was my favorite subject.
As soon as I arrived at school, I hop on to the bus and found out that the bus was still empty. I took the rear seat and waited until one of my close buddy, Kevin, came. Unfortunately, most of the other students didn’t come, there were only 30 students who came. Our teacher, Mr. Bruno, decided to just leave them.
The bus was really quiet, until we reach the campsite. The campsite was labyrinthine; we lost our way a few times, but managed to roll our way to the place. We built our tent there, making a circle shape and prepare our camping equipments. Then, we gathered at the campfire in the middle of the tents. Though we were only 30 students, our teachers lavished more than $5000 to provide us lunch as we have a lot of voracious students. Our teachers also gave each one of us a bracer and talisman, as we were going to the forest.
Even there outside the forest, we could smell the strong redolence of the leaves. We entered the forest and got spread. Kevin and Chris were with me but neither of us brought with us a compass. We decided to make our own way out of the forest. In the middle of the burning sun, suddenly came a heavy storm. Chris dexterously led us to a cave, somewhere deep inside the forest. There, we went inside the cave. The cave was really dark and void, we met a lot of strange figure but weren’t able to clearly determine what animal those were.
I remembered that I brought my flashlight with me and decided to bring it out. After walking for few minutes deep inside the cave, we saw 3 aisles but Kevin convinced us to just stick together and entered the middle lane. The aisle led us to a huge room with a pool of water, something like a big pond, in the middle. Boulders and chunks of rocks were everywhere on the upper level of the room, and were ready to fall on us anytime. We decided to not stick to the wall.
In this point, we spot a tiny pulse of water beneath the water surface, sensing a threat was coming. A huge float of crocodile appeared from the pond and crawled towards us. Kevin took his 5 feet spear, Chris with his 20 kg flail, and I on the other hand, took my Excalibur. Kevin tried to stab one of them at its back, but the spear wasn’t able to penetrate inside the crocodile’s body.
