Victor soon returned to the village where the cave he found last time was located, and he was very surprised to see the changes that had happened on the village. People were happier and energetic than he remembered, though even then they still seemed like the chill bunch, but he could see the changes. Perhaps, the most surprise came when everyone who saw him stopped to bow their heads as he made his way through. To say the least, it was unexpected.
The statue of him at the village centre was just another surprise. Though that's by the way.
Back at the cave, Victor continued heading down to the deepest point he had reached last time, where he found the one who spoke some things to him.
