Karuhuns

Section 43: The Waiting

Pram has gone down, now is the time for me to go up, the road that I will go through is very steep, I have brought equipment to climb, replace my shoes with hiking shoes first, I have to take a hike, because during the previous climb I only wear ordinary mountain shoes, not the special ones to climb steep cane or climbing.

Now that I have stood on the first cliff, the height reaches 100 meters, this cliff is known as the squirrel cliff, and the, it is named that way because in some parts if we are not lucky then our bodies will be flushed by rocks and sand that fall on top in very large quantities while climbing, if we are stuck in such a situation, then we should be silent first waiting for the situation to be safe.

I saw there were climbing points from the previous climbers, not looking professional but it seemed enough to hold my body. I prepared a paracord rope that I would later attach to the climbing points, at least able to hold me if I fell, it seemed like the climbing point had been prepared by the ascetics who were climbing upwards, he said, you know this point looks obsolete, but I really won't stop, just one more step.

Slowly I climbed this steep and slippery cliff, surely because of the dew so the cliffs felt moist. It turned out that one point to another climbing point was quite wide, my legs were long for a woman's size, but I had to hard payar grabbed the cliff point, it had been about 15 minutes I climbed, it was about, I look down, it's halfway through, after this I'll practice more rock climbing, it's only a hundred meters but I'm out of breath, Seira you're too amateur.

I continued on my way by crawling from one point to one point, roughly about 10 minutes away maybe I would get to the top, I heard a quite scary rumble, What god is this?

I looked up, one by one the pebbles fell from there, I looked for the safest points from the direction of the fall of the pebbles, made a quick movement and kept myself safe, after I managed to get to the point away from the falling pebble, it suddenly turned into a fairly large piece of debris and collapsed from above, I lowered my head and closed my body to the cliff.

“Good Heulang!” I called my new karuhun, he didn't come out. What is this, where is he. I couldn't possibly call the Commander because he couldn't protect me with his claws, we must have fallen, right in that second there was a chunk of rock about 80 centi meters in diameter, big enough and the direction of the roll was right at my position, if the stone hit me, I would have fallen.

“Carembo Hejo.” I took out a hejo karembo and wrapped one of its sides around my right hand, while my left hand held the points, making sure my body remained suspended, then the other side of the waving karembo, I threw it towards the boulder, I said, I precisely grabbed the boulder with karembo hejo, hit it! The stone was thrown to the left, away from my body, after which I continued to sweep the boulders that fell while still hanging on the climbing points near this peak.

The situation was safe, the rumbling stopped, I hurriedly entered the hejo karembo and as much as possible climbed, my hands were full of wounds because it was inevitable that the rock won't throw all the pebbles, it was not, still something hit my hands and face, surely I am now like a monkey because it is so full of dust from pebbles and wounds.

My hand has touched the top of this cliff, as well as the top of this mountain. I was weaving my legs so I could touch the ground, after I managed to pull my body to the summit, I got to the top with a supine state, because it was compassion, I managed to catch my breath and rest for a while, I climbed this cliff for 2 hours. Tired, thirsty and hungry.

I sat down, got some water and biscuits, just to hold my hunger, I didn't have time to make a tent and cook instant noodles.

After my strength gathered again, I looked around and I was shocked not to play, was I wrong? Is Ayi Nusia wrong? At the top of this mountain is empty! There was nothing, no village, just a tree standing tall in the middle of the peak.

Strange tree, I approached the tree, the tree trunk was like a pine tree, but the leaves were like coconut leaves, there was no fruit on this tree, it was about 10 meters tall. I'm going around this tree, what is this tree really? The trunk is pitch-brown, like there's sap in the trunk, I don't dare to hold it, I'm alone here, there's no Pram, my karuhuns don't show up when I call, definitely because they're taken prisoner, either held captive where.

I decided to set up a tent, the day began to afternoon, it seemed like I had to spend the night here and find a way to this village, Ayi Nusia could not be lying, there must be a way.

I ate by looking at this tree, I choked for a moment, the wind was strong from up here, but why didn't the tree move at all. Why didn't the leaf blow in the wind, he stood up like a picture, speechless. I hurriedly finished my meal, turned off the fire from the mini portable gas stove for not wanting any fires here, and approached this tree again.

“It looks like it does need an entry key, right? You're just an illusion aren't you?” I spoke to the tree, because apparently the bad thing is I was reluctant to hold this tree, after I held it, it was not touched at all, like a hologram. Whoa they fooled Ayi Mahogra, stupid me!

Ok after finding out that this is just a hologram, there must be a meaning to why they put this tree. Well, if there's a big village, there's got to be a gate, the gate of the village that's hidden must be locked with something strong, like a padlock, then what do I need to open it? Yeah, I need a key! Something that people do not have so no one managed to enter the village, other than its inhabitants or hermits who were allowed to enter.

Lock, key, key ….

“Use this as the key to get into the warrior land at the top of the Grain-Grain mountain. Give my regards to my grandchildren there after you get to.” I remembered the words from Ayi Nusia.

You idiot! Why I forgot, maybe because so many things I experienced that I forgot the most important thing.

I took out the Ayi Nusia konde stitch, the rose konde stitch. After the skewer came out, quench the tree, I don't know I feel, this is how it works, then slowly the land, the petals of the skewer came out and stuck on the tree trunk hologram it, then, after that, the tree disappeared, and the earth shook, I fell because the shock was so great, from the shock came dozens of hologram trees but this is a real tree because the leaves were swaying with a giant size, he said, the tree was so neatly lined up, like giving way to me, it was standing gallantly on my left right, I looked ahead, the street was dark.

I stood up and walked down the tree into the darkness of the street, I don't know if there's an end to this dark street, I'm sure I'm still alone, nobody's with me, this is better, at least if there's anything, I'm the only one who's wretched.

I walked on without a body, until one point I found the light at the other end, I ran as fast as I could, not yet come to that light, someone ran towards me faster and hit my body, I drowned and fell perfectly, then after, dark ….
