Chapter 4: Odd Solitary Tree

"Where am I?" tanong ko sa aking sarili nung nahulog ako sa isang puno.
Nahihilo pa ako at di ko alam saang planeta ako bumagsak.

Basta naalala ko lang... nung hinawakan ko yung puno pagkatapos nun ay may umilaw na parang sinag ng araw na sinusunod ang pattern na mahahalintulad ng isang simbolo.
I tried to figure it out but suddenly there was a hole making bigger and bigger and just I realize, it was a way to the bottom like an opening.

I felt the ground is shaking and suddenly I slipped all the way down then landed on a cement platform.

"Aray! a-ang sakit ng likod kooo." hinawakan ko ang aking likod at ulo dahil sa sakit na naramdaman sa pagkabagsak ko. Namimilipit ako sa sakit nito.

Argh! tumitindi lng ang sakit ng aking ulo ko sa kakaisip.

Nilibot ko ang aking paningin sa lugar kung saan ako ngayon.
The place seems like an abandoned underground tunnel.
Naghahanap ako ng posibleng labasan pero wala akong makita.

"I need to think of something way out of here." bulong ko sa sarili ko habang nag iisip kung ano ang gagawin.

I was at the corner area from where I fell, above mine are the huge tree roots and a small hole or isn't where I guess dyan ako nanggaling. The whole place was covered with ivy leaves, huge roots through the old walls even also in the ceiling.
Bushes and dry leaves all over the corner coating the place in centuries. The crack cemented pathway makes it look muddy because of tree roots and moss– puddles of water everywhere.

I continue to find a possible way out, may naaninag akong ilaw sa dulo pa norte galing sa pwesto ko. I was hesitant for a sec. but I left with no choice. I follow the light and slowly walk to the small pathway.

I actually felt afraid– well as a normal teenage ass human. My heartbeat drums so fast making it faster and louder because of the additional tension and creepy for I don't know what reason for this place. A lump rose in my throat but I need to stay at ease if I wanted to find a way out.

Hinawi ko ang mga nagtataasang ivy leaves na malakurtina ang style habang sinusundan ang kinaroroonan ng maliit ng liwanag, until the light gets clearer doon ko napagtanto na may pintuan pala.

An old huge door coated with a huge tree trunk and a small keyhole or just a hole from which the light comes. I look closely.

"Weird..." I mumbled.

Paanong may pintuan dito sa ganitong lugar? Nakapagtataka lang.

Habang papalapit ako sa pintuan na pinalibutan ng mga dahon at naglalakihang ugat ng puno.
Isn't it strange? It feels like the door is calling me to get in. My guts are also telling me to go through.

Kinakabahan ako kung ano man ang susunod na mangyayari.
I just felt so really weird literally mixed emotions, kinakabahan na parang natatakot. Lmao, I just wanna get out of here as soon as I can.

Sinubukan kong lumapit sa pintuan at sinuri ito ngunit nag sparkle ito na may sinusunod na maliit na pattern.
Lumapit pa ako para ma tignan ng malapitan.
Isang pattern ng buwan– a crescent moon to be exact there's also writings below in it but I can't figured it out kasi di ko alam anong lingguwahe ang ginamit. Parang arabic? I'm not that sure either. Sinuri ko ang mga nakasulat at sinundan ng tingin ang liwanag.
