Maya's Extraordinary Encounter

"Who are they? Why do they look all weird, mommy," one kid asked after looking at different creatures.

"I don't know, kid. We must go inside and lock ourselves. They are the Troubles," his mother said.

"What do you mean by Troubles, mother?" the kid asked her again.

His mother continued, "I don't know, but they only choose violence as far as I know."

Man 1, "I never saw these Troubles this near before, and what are the things are they wearing?"

Man 2, "Are they a threat to us."

Man 3, "I think I heard about them before."

Man 4, "They have brown skin. And everyone has the same color, but their skin and hair color do not match."

Man 2, "And they have legs and hands like us."

Man 4, "Who are they? Why are they even saying this? I’m not understanding them."

When all the friends decided to go back and find a different way to complete her purpose.

Maya suddenly stopped them as she felt something and said, "Guys, stop! I think I just hit something, but I can't see that thing."

"Where did you hit that thing?" Minho said while trying to look for the thing.

"Just here, I hit that thing here," Maya pointed towards the direction, but that direction had nothing but a blank space.

"Are you kidding me? I saw nothing," Minho said.

"Guys, trust me, I just got hit by something, or hit that thing, I don't know! Let me run so that I can hit that again.

And Maya ran at full speed in hopes of, hitting something invisible that her friend couldn't see. She also couldn't see that thing, but she was sure that thing was invisible. She felt it was some kind of living being.

Girl 1, "Why is that Trouble running like crazy and hitting Mukoz."

"Mukoz! Come here! Don't go near them! They are evil," his sister called her brother, who had been hit by that evil Trouble.

They were all invisible to Maya and her friends, so they had no problem hiding. They were all watching them as if Maya and his friend were clowns and they were watching some kind of funny show.

Maya was wearing an oversize hoodie which was bigger than her. Half of her face was covered by it.

"Guys, do you just see, I hit someone just now." Maya said with a confidence she thought her friends saw this, but Seola said, "It's okay Maya, you don't have to show proof, let's go somewhere else."

It was clear that no one was believing her, so she got annoyed and said while removing her hood.

"Why are you guys not believing me?" Maya grumbled.

As she removed her hoodie, everyone who was invisible at that time gasped.

"How is that possible?" everyone thought.

"I never saw her before. Why did she come here from outside? And why is she with the Troubles? And what kind of language are they talking in?”

Everyone was very confused after discovering Maya.

Maya had grown tired of her friends' disbelief and decided to prove them wrong. She took off running, determined to uncover the truth about the mysterious living beings in the fountain. But fate had other plans. As she sprinted forward, a small rock collided with her foot, causing her to slip and tumble into the fountain's waters.

It was then that something miraculous happened. The invisible bubble that had once surrounded the strange creatures vanished, revealing their true form to Maya and her friends. But these were no ordinary creatures. They looked exactly like Maya - hundreds of them, all with the same uncanny features.

As Maya and her friends stared in disbelief, they realized that the fountain held a secret connection to the creatures' invisibility. And now, the villagers knew that outsiders could see them too.

Both parties were equally confused: the villagers were perplexed by Maya's arrival from the outside world, yet she bore the same appearance as them. Meanwhile, Maya and her friends were stunned to discover the existence of these enigmatic creatures, all bearing the exact likeness to Maya herself. How was such a thing even possible? The mystery had only just begun.

Jaena's voice trembled as she spoke, "Who are... who are the- they?" Her body shook as if an invisible force was threatening to push her to the ground.

Minho was no better, his voice quivered as he spoke, "I don't know, let's run away." The fear in his eyes was palpable, and he could feel a warm sensation spreading down his legs.

But Jaebin, the voice of reason, interrupted, "We can't leave Maya alone. I think they are the purpose of Maya, and they have been calling her for years." He spoke with confidence, his mind piecing together the fragments of information he had gathered.

As Maya's gaze fell on the strangers, her world turned upside down. She was shocked to her core, unable to believe her eyes. "How is this possible? I thought I was the only one," she muttered, her thoughts racing in her mind.

Meanwhile, Rulma's voice boomed, "What should we do now? Do we have to attack them since they saw us?"

One of his friends interrupted, "I don't know, maybe we should ask Vuleni first."

"Call Vuleni fast!" Rulma shouted, his urgency apparent in his tone.

"Vuleni is practicing right now," his friend replied.

"So, we shouldn't waste our time and attack them, ATTACK!" Rulma commanded, and his friends rushed towards Maya's companions.

As the strangers closed in on Maya's friends, she felt something stirring inside her. Suddenly, she found herself on all fours, growling like a wolf. She was surprised to see her hair reach out and grab the attackers, almost as if it had a will of its own.

Maya struggled with the men, trying to protect her friends. She had never felt so alive, so powerful. But as the battle raged on, Maya knew that this was just the beginning of a much bigger mystery.

As the men approached her, Maya braced herself for the fight ahead. Each one possessed unique powers, sending rocks hurtling toward her and using the very air around them to launch attacks. But Maya had no intention of causing harm, her only priority was protecting her friends.

With a graceful flick of her wrist, she summoned her long, lustrous hair to shield them from danger. It responded to her every command, coiling and twisting like magical ropes rather than mere strands of hair. The villagers watched in amazement as Maya's hair proved to be an impenetrable barrier against the men's attacks.

Just as the battle reached its peak, the village leaders emerged from their homes, including the wise and revered Vuleni. The sight before them left them speechless, for they had never seen anyone quite like Maya. But it was Vuleni who felt the strongest sense of awe and positivity stirring in her heart.

"HALT!" Vuleni's voice boomed, commanding attention and sending shivers down the spines of those within earshot. Like a scene frozen in time, all activity ceased at the sound of her authoritative tone.

Even Maya, who had been in the midst of a fierce attack, halted her assault and retreated at the sound of Vuleni's voice. As if a spell had been cast, Maya's wild hair returned to its natural state, tamed and tangle-free.

Yet despite her victory over the men, they scrambled for cover, hiding behind anyone or anything that could shield them from Vuleni's wrath.

It was clear to her that Maya was not their enemy and that she possessed powers far beyond their understanding. The entire village held its breath as they watched Vuleni approach Maya, eager to learn more about this mysterious and powerful newcomer.
