The Adventure of the Light-Bearer

CH. 15 - The Ico Waterfall

There was the sound of trains and bottles colliding at that time in the Livermore forest. After twenty minutes, they finally arrived near the demonic waterfall. The carriage stopped, and the sound of water flowing in the distance, Don came down and tied the horse to one of the trees. Gordon and Erand prepare his belongings, Gordon then gives a bow to Don who at that time had empty hands.

"I think you already have Levin's armament. Now hurry up, we kill the creature and we release our brother who is being held captive in the waterfall" Gordon said optimistically. Levin jumped off the train, unsure of what Gordon was saying, thinking in his heart that the group might now have died inside the waterfall, but he just nodded to Gordon.

They walked towards the big waterfall. There is a large wooden object in the form of the letter 'n' circling the waterfall, in the middle of it there is a large knife that if the levers are pulled the knife will plunge down, the, similar to a guillotine but larger and more complicated mechanism.

"Prepare my best friend. Now we will know the shape of this beast that has kidnapped our friends and family. We're gonna fucking kill him!" don yelled as he pulled his long-sleeved cloth up and folded it, the sound of the noisy waterfall making them have to tighten their voices when speaking.

"It is necessary to cross to go to the right lever. Don, you're on this lever. You Erand, pull the lever on top with the rope hanging here near Don, and I'll cross the top like yesterday" Gordon said in the commanding stance. Don and Erand nodded then ran towards the lever carefully, Gordon then held onto Levin's shoulder.

"You, young man. Whatever happens to you, everyone will remember you as a hero. Please do your duty with my cues, whatever you will do to lure him, do it!" gordon said he hugged Levin and went round to cross the river. Levin got an idea the first time he saw the waterfall.

"Stupid, how could I possibly run across the river so quickly, and where might I be able to stand in the middle of the river where the water is flowing so fast" Levin said in his heart, he then patted a finger on his thigh while waiting for Gordon across the river.

After a few minutes, Gordon finally got there. He waved his hands to his two friends and Levin gave a hint to get ready immediately. The two men then held the wood stuck in the tool, while Erand held the rope attached to a large knife hanging over the tool.

The loud sound of the waterfall turned out to make them difficult to communicate, so they were only silent all that time. Gordon looked towards Levin and nodded his head, a sign he should start luring the creature out. Levin then carried Clea's bow which he hung behind his shirt, carried one of the arrows on his back, and straightened his chest.

He took a deep breath, narrowed his right eye, and released the arrow into a gap in the waterfall so that it entered the cave in the waterfall.

"Damn, I think I should shoot him in the middle of the river, maybe he can see me there. I wish I could run in that rushing river without getting carried away" Levin said. He raised his hand up signaling the three of them should wait. He then walked carefully in the slightly rushing river and jutted down it.

Levin then stopped walking, he turned his body towards the waterfall slowly and took a deep breath. He looked at a crack in the waterfall that was very dark, he did not know what kind of creature he was going to see. He then raised his bow, and released an arrow a second time in that place. But the creature has not yet appeared.

"Damn! Why haven't you shown up yet!" levin said with annoyance. He then got the idea, his eyes turned cynical staring towards the crack. He then folded his wet pants, took a deep breath, stood upright, and moved his body strangely. He raised his hands up and down and shouted like an ancient person.

"ULULULULULU!" levin shouted as he shook his body and raised his bow up. While the three people were looking at him strangely, they shook their heads.

After a while, Levin stopped due to exhaustion. The situation became quiet, the atmosphere in the waterfall became more calm and soothing than before. There was no sign of the creature.

Levin became increasingly upset. He then walked against the current towards the waterfall. The three men were amazed by Levin's courage. He stepped like a soldier who was training against the torrent. The three men hardened their muscles and took a swing, for Levin was already approaching the waterfall.

Levin didn't stop, he walked straight to the waterfall and into it. The three men then looked towards each other, they did not believe that Levin would be that close. Levin jumped in. The atmosphere then quieted back among the three of them, for the umpteenth time.
