"WHAT?! Why didn't you tell us that, that was a ghost?" Romania complains.
"I cannot tell every single thing you know! It will take us forever! And I told you, you should've done a little research about my country Dios Mio!" (My God!) The Philippines complained back.
"Well that was creepy to be honest." Commented Norway on the side.
"Be thankful that I didn't bring you to Aklan or Antique, if I did you would’ve traumatized and not just terrified." Aklan, Antique, Capiz and Ilo-Ilo are places where locals believe Aswang, terrifying monsters occur.
"Tabi po, tabi-tabi po, tabi po. My goodness we've been walking for more than an hour now it's tiring." She groans in exasperation. "Tabi po, tabi-tabi po."
"Phil, are you chanting or casting some spell? Is tabi po a spell or something? Pretty easy huh." It was Britain who talked behind her back.
"I am asking for permission from dwendes and nunos to pass. It's already past 6 in the evening they're probably out of their homes by now." She explained.
"What do you mean? I don't understand?"
"Hmm... how should I explain this? In my country it is believed that magical entities usually appear in the evening specifically past 6 in the evening. Not entirely true but that's usually the case. Tabi po is not a spell or chant it means excuse me literally translates as move aside please. If you hurt or offend a dwende or nuno or any of the magical entities here even unintentionally, you might be cursed you know. And I tell you do not EVER underestimate curses in my place, they are strong usually in the form of physical harm or alteration in human physique. At least by saying tabi po, you are paying respect to them."
"I-I see, we'll be care careful. T-tabi pow. Am I saying it correctly?" With an awkward voice Britain says his excuse.
"Ahh, is fine, though you have an accent but it's comprehensible." She agreed with a thumb up. She can also hear Norway and Romania muttering "Tabi po" behind her back.
A moment of silence enveloped the four of them before someone speak.
"Wait a second everyone, didn't we came from this place already?" It was Norway.
"Huh? I cannot tell though, because we are surrounded by just trees." Romania roams his eyes on the surroundings. It’s already dark and they cannot see properly so they turned on their lights.
"No, I am sure of it. This is the place where Romania saw a White Lady earlier." The Norwegian insisted.
"What?! No way!" Romania started to panic because of this.
"You might be mistaken. It’s dark already so it’s hard to tell. Let's move, I'll leave a mark just in case to confirm if Norway is right." The British Gentleman put an 'X' mark to one of the trees.
