Last time in Escape...

*STOMP*STOMP*STOMP*

I heard loud footstep coming from outside the room. I started to panic and looked around the room.

'I NEED TO HIDE!!!'
_________________________________________

'The footsteps are coming closer!'

I quickly hid inside the closet and heard the door open. I peak through the small opening of the closet and saw this horrifying human-animal mutant enter the room. It had a human torso but a horse's head and legs.

His walks into the room, his hooves stomping against the wood floor. He reaches for the bed and carried it off the floor with one hand.He looks underneath then puts the bed back down before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

I quietly got out of the closet, my body trembling as fear took control of my body. 

'Was that the Tikbalang?'

'Shit, Shit, Shit, I need to get out of here.'

I walked up to the dresser and grabbed the small square hand woven bag from the bottom drawer.

I then grabbed the biscuits in a tin,and the knife I got from the envelope and put it in the bag. As I took out the knife from my pocket a piece of paper fell out of my pocket.

'Must be the letter I found from the broken vase.'

I knelt down and grabbed the paper and flipped it over.

'What is this?'

'Well better put it in the bag it seems important'

I then went over to the drawers beside the bed and open the first drawer.....

....

...

..

.

nothing

Second drawer....

...

nothing either

Third drawer there was a small old book, two rings and an amulet

I put the rings in the bag then opened the small book.

It had pictures of monsters, fairies, strange animals and plants. As I was looking through the book I stumbled on a picture that looked exactly like the monster from earlier.

*Tikbalang
-a tall, bony humanoid creature with the head and hooves of a horse and disproportionately long limbs, to the point that its knees reach above its head when it squats down.
(Superstition)
-Tikbalangs are benevolent guardians of elemental kingdoms. They are usually found standing at the foot of large trees looking around for anyone who dare to bestow malignancy on their kingdom's territory.
-A common saying has it that rain from a clear sky means "may kinakasal na tikbalang."
("a tikbalang is getting married".) 
-Can also transform itself into human form or turn invisible to humans. They like to lead travelers astray. 
(Taming a Tikbalang)
-By one account a tikbalang has a mane of sharp spines, with the three thickest of these being of particular importance. A person who obtains one of these spines can use them as an ating-anting  (talisman) in order to keep the tikbalang as his servant. The tikbalang must first be subdued, however, by leaping onto it and tying it with a specially-prepared cord. The would-be-tamer must then hang on while the creature flies through the air, fighting madly to dislodge its unwelcome rider, until it is exhausted and acknowledges its defeat.  Or you can look on his mane and you will see 3 golden hairs and if you pluck 3 of them before he/she eats you, they will serve you until you die.
(To see the truth)
-To be able to identify a tikbalang while it is invisible or in a new skin, you must wear an albularyo's pendant since it has a magical gem that helps you avoid being cursed and also see spirits and creatures from the other world.
