Chapter 3 - The way

"Hello Vicina," La saw Vicina on his way to the festival

"Hello La," Vicina said

While La and Vicina were talking they saw the village exit toward the mountain

"Dad why are we going outside isn't the festival in the village square," La asked his father

"This year festival will be a bit different from the one you're used to, now that the sun day arrived you're both seven years old and it's time for you to know a bit more about this world" La's father replied

In the village, they use the stars to count the days and the sun festival symbolizes the ending and beginning of a year and the birthday of all the villagers at the same time

After half an hour of walking, they finally arrived at a mountain cave opening

"Dad isn't that the forbidden cave," Vicina asked her mom

"yes it is and Vicina I didn't know that I look that bad" her mother replied

"I meant mom, yes... mom "Vicina corrected herself

"La go faster! there's a special person inside."La's father said

"Who, "La asked

"Just go" La's father insisted

La looked around the entries and saw holes on the black rock ground

He walked in and saw a huge cave full of torches and wired scribes on the walls

La saw a scribal beside him and tried to understand what it is

"It looks like two circles and a long pipe in the shape of a mushroom" La told his father

"Go inside!" La's father insisted

"Ha those kids, don't they have something better to do with there time," La's father said to Vicina's mom

"You did the same thing when you were a kid " Vicina's mom replied

"Well let's go in, " La's father said while moving his hand at an inhuman speed against the walls

As the dust settled no mention of the marking where found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

La looked around and saw a man sitting on a rock

"Uncle Jack" La said while running toward the bold man

"La how are you, I didn't see you in what three years," Uncle Jack said while taking La into the air

"Hi Jack" they heard a voice

"Hello, Suabi and oh hi little Ian how are you "Jack put La down and started walking toward Suabi

"Jack is that how you greet me, " Suabi said while going toward Jack

After Jack and Suabi did their secret handshake

"I didn't know that Jack and Suabi are such good friends ?" La commented to his father after he saw them doing a secret handshake

"Well they are best friend " La's father commented

"Hello Jack how was your trip" more people came with childer the same age as La and Vicina all of them were surprised to see Jack

"I didn't find what I needed but it was not all worthless" Jack replied to all

While everyone was chatting a dry old cough was heard from the cave

ok it's time, kid's go inside the chief is waiting

"see you in the afternoon" all of the adults except Jack who stayed in the back left

"Please come closer and sit on the round black stone, " the old chief told the kids

"I know that you have no idea what is happening, but you are now at the age where you can begin making choices which will affect your future " the chief started talking
