12. Alice in Keahi Land - Part 1

Akamu waited till the Rain subsided, making sure there wasn't any Fog as he began going to the Volcano. 

He carried a Lantern and a Protection Charm just in case, as he didn't want yesterday's events to repeat itself. 

He slowly approached the Foothills of the Volcano, looking around. This was the Place he met the Mysterious figure. 

Akamu waited there for hours, but no one showed up. 

It left him annoyed, him leaving to talk with Keahi Instead, spending time gazing at the Stars. 

He told the Volcano about the Incident.Asking if it knew who it was. Only to be met with the 'Keahi Snores'. 

The Night went without any progress to Akamu's quest.

The Next night had nothing new to offer as well, except a waiting game.

The Cycle continued for a Week before Akamu was beginning to give up. Thinking it to be an unexpected meeting with the Supernatural. 

But his curious mind wouldn't give up, pushing him forward to know what he saw and why.

He decided to give it one more try. Waiting to face his fears when the Fog descends again. 

And much waiting and planning, the most awaited day arrived. With the signs of Fog descending on the Village. 

Akamu planned his Route, waiting at the Area where the Figure ran off to last time they met. Deciding to follow from there instead of waiting. 

The Fog slowly became denser as time passed. Akamu had placed a Lantern on the opposite side of the Road. Knowing it'll cast a shadow on the Dense fog so he can know when it passes. 

He waited as the Village went quiet, even the gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves spooking him out. 

Akamu had read that the temperature drops and the Surroundings become quieter whenever something Paranormal happens. 

He held the Protective charm in his hand, his heartbeat slowly rising fast.

And as the Clock struck midnight, he heard some mild footsteps around him. 

That was enough to break any kind of courage he had built up. Sweating even though the climate was freezing cold. 

He closed his eyes as the footsteps became increasingly closer to him, a faint image showing up in the Fog. 

Akamu's eyes widened as he watched, as the Figure lookee around slowly before running off to the mountain. 

Akamu gulped, his body frozen in fear as he looked. He was second guessing if he should follow. But he reaffirmed himself. 

"I've come this Far to give up. Come on. Moveeeee"

Akamu psyched himself up, following through the mist. 

He followed it towards the Volcano, as the Figure looked around to see if anyone followed. 

Akamu extinguished his lantern, watching silently as the Figure began moving some rocks placed on the Entrance, going inside. 

Akamu followed, keeping his distance as he peeked from the side of the Entrance to the inside.

Much to his horror, the one inside peeked back at the same time he did. 

Akamu screamed in overwhelming terror as their eyes met. His lantern falling and breaking. 

He was soon pulled into the Cave, silenced.
