“At that moment a little after dusk ... Just like now! The sun had set by then and it was getting darker.At that time, we found a river and my father told me that we were going to set up camp there. Once everything is ready, we head to the river to collect water for the next day.Close to the river together, that's when we see it!”.
As everyone stared at the Master of the Desert with wide-eyed eyes, he continued, “Capra Nanny was drinking water by the river, and although I could not see his face well under the moonlight, I clearly remember that he had a long tongue and his hair was long and messy.”
“Stopping our steps, the old lady raised her head and made eye contact with us. It was only for a moment, but both of his eyes were green! Thankfully, my dad pulled me out in time as he yelled, 'Don't look at him, Billy! Turn around, now!'”
“After saying that, my father immediately turned around and knelt on the sand. I did the same thing, considering that he once told me that if someone met Capra Nanny, they would have to turn their back on her and never look back!”
"…What happened after that?" ask one of the tourists.
“Well, he slowly walked towards me and my father. However, his footsteps were so light that they were barely audible, except for the soft rustling of sand. At that moment, a child-like voice from behind us started whispering, “Don't look at him, Billy~! Turn~! Right this time~! Of course, I didn't listen to those creepy-sounding voices. Afterwards, my father told me that it was Capra Nanny's attempt to speak our language through mimicry!”
"Then? What happens next?" ask someone else.
“And then.. Shut up. My father and I continued to kneel there without a word ." replied the Master of the Desert.
After which, everyone in the shelter fell silent. This was especially true of the girls who were all soaked by cold sweat.
It was thanks to that silence that everyone could suddenly hear the faint sound of footsteps dragging the sand slowly closer to the shelter!
As everyone turned to look at the entrance, they all stared in horror as the figure slowly drew closer!
Anxiety peaked, some girls immediately started shouting!
Meredith herself stood in shock as she said, "Here you again!"
Sure enough, the person who had just appeared was none other than Gerald.
Without removing his mask, Gerald then replied, “Wah, what a coincidence!”
“It really! I only thought about you before! ” said Meredith while smiling happily while blushing.
Wynn, on the other hand, just sneered, “Well, if it wasn't you anymore! What's going on, huh? There's nowhere else to go, right? Or maybe you're out of water! I'm sure you're very excited after you see our wagon, right? Ha ha! What's up, I think you don't need our help!”
"Once again, it's just a coincidence!" gerald replied as he headed to the corner and sat quietly.
"…Hmm? Are Minnie and Juan not back yet.?” ask someone from the group at that time.
"What's? When do they leave?” ask the Desert Teacher.
“About half an hour ago, I guess! They went to take some pictures!”
“Dangerous to be out there at night! We have to find him immediately!” master of the Desert orders when some others go with him.
After searching around while shouting the names of the two missing people for a while, some girls suddenly started screaming hysterically!
