Jah-napah Forest

Cece: Am I hallucinating?!!

Eva: Cece, you always wake me when I'm having sweet dreams, why don't you wake me up while I'm having a nightmare.

Cece: If it's a nightmare, I would have run away by now.

Eva: Was it an illusion? I've heard that people create holograms that look exactly like them but are programmed by computer.

Cece: Or maybe they're wizards who wanted to trap us.

Eva: And then we fell right into their trap.

Eva and Cece broke down crying

Eva: We were so focused on them that, we didn't look at our surroundings while following them.

Cece: Where are we?

Thud!!! A bloodied body just fell before them, and on it was carved Jah-napah.

Eva: AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! N-N-N Nooo!!!

Cece: AAAHHHH!!!!!! !! Pleassseee !!!

Eva: I-I-I-I-It can't be, w-we c-cant b-b-be in J-J-Jah-napah f-forest.

Cece: What sin did I commit in my past life that I couldn't bear the consequences then.

Eva: I heard even the trees eat themselves in this forest.

Cece: Isn't fate cruel to make us come here in the night. Why don't we rest and try to find our way back in the morning.

Eva: Are you dumb, this forest doesn't have morning, it's always the same as night.

Cece: Some rumors, no one has to tell you not to believe them, which forest doesn't have morning, I heard no one has come out of the forest alive, then how did they know that the forest has no morning. Let's rest for the night and look for a way back home in the morning.

Eva: This is the forest where the blue hills is located, meaning the blue gem is here.

Cece: What are you implying?

Eva: Isn't it super obvious, instead of of going back to being a maid, we can look for the blue gem and end our punishment. Since we are in the outskirts of the forest we are yet to face the demonic part of this forest, we con prepare ourselves, by learning how to spar and survive in the jungle.

Cece: Your words are motivating. But let me complete it, we've got to have the eye of an eagle, the legs of a cheetah and most importantly the ROAR of a lion.

Eva: Let's make ourselves a tree house to rest for the night. Tomorrow we will start our training.

{ Eva and Cece climbed the shortest tree and built a small hut on it).

Eva Let's pray, so that so that if we die we will go to heaven.

Cece: Or we should rather pray not to die now.

(The girls both said their prayer and fell asleep)...

The sun's sun's rays fell on their skin and their dresses were wet with the dew from the free.

Cece: Yawn, it's morning already.

Eva: Hmmm, I want to sleep some more. Classes

won't start now.

Cece: Classes? in which school?

Eva: What do you mean? Jeez. I just remembered

that we're in a forest.

Cece: Yup! We have to travel to the east of the forest, then we'll end up in Cal-Mati kingdom, where well seek shelter and continue our journey to find the blue gem.

Eva: How did you know about the east of the forest or even Cal-Mati kingdom, l mean if you didn't know about it we'd be doomed.

Cece: That's why it is good to read. The more you read the knowledgeable you become. After you cross the kingdom of Cal Mati the continuation is the real and the scary, the true and gloomy JAH-NAPAH forest. We're just at the outskirts of the Forest So we're saved right now.

If we journey fast by foot we will take about 2 days to reach CAL-MATI kingdom. But unfortunately that kingdom, I heard that they are wicked, and their slogan is "What do I get in return for the Favor? -

Eva: So you mean, we have to give them something in order for them to give us shelter.

Cece: Yes your'e smart, but the case is that we don't have anything to give them. So Since we have nothing to give them we have to offer to serve them for the time we stay there.

Eva: Let's try and and reach there, fast. We will run and walk fast.

Cere: No I have a better plan. Get me long twigs, strong leaves, light. branches, fragments of dead logs, stems of young plants, and few fibrous roots from tall grasses On I forget and most importantly long vines. I need a lot of those.

Eva: Cece, did you hit your head on the tree's branch. Are you okay? Is your brain and your nervous system working properly? What would you need those for?

Cece: Let's just go and look for them?

Eva: Once we get them, you better explain.

Cece: We'll get those in wet pits and on some trees. Infact they can be found in the mangrove zone of this forest

Eva: Well, let's go look for them .

They've found all the materials Cece mentioned.

Cece: This is all I need, to make vine and arrow. I would connect the vines to our waist and I would shoot an arrow to the farthest tree I see. The fibrous in the vine would make the tree sway, hence it'll pull us then we go swinging from tree. So we would be able to reach the kingdom of CAL-MATI faster.

Eva:, Once, we reach there we'll spend two weeks gathering food, learning how to ride horses, learning how to spar etc So when we go into the forest Jap- napah of we can survive.

Just then they heard some sounds. Cece immediately threw the arrow to the tree and they began swinging and hid in the branches to see what was approaching them.

The sounds were getting closer and louder, the sound of feet stumping on dry twigs and leaves were getting loud indicating that the thing was near.
