Kim was all alone wandering here and there.
" I have to inspect this place without wasting my time. Because the forest is in danger. But from where I would start first", thought Kim Shee.
She suddenly noticed that the water from the waterfall stopped flowing so there can be an object blocking its way. She remembered what the Griffen told her. To follow the way of water and her grandfather once said the water, the stars will show you your way when you are lost, you just have to believe and have confidence in yourself.
By revising all her memories Kim Shee put her hand on her heart and breath deeply and closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the place from where fresh water was rushing on the ground.
" I have to climb up so that I can get up there.", exclaimed Kim Shee.
Kim Shee move to the wall that was near the waterfall.
" I think that it is easy as I have done rock climbing in Korea.", told Kim to herself and proceed her hand towards the first rock. She put her foot on another and the second hand on the rock in front of her. She continues to climb up with the motion of her arms and legs. Once she was about to fall as she missed one of the rocks with her foot but she saved herself.
She climbed up and reached the top of the waterfall. To her astonishment, she saw that the entire land behind the waterfall had dried up and was barren land just like a desert. Kim started to walk again. She walked and walked and reach a canopy of trees. She found it strange to have a canopy of trees in the middle of desert-type land. She had several questions in her mind why did this place not dry up? What is the mystery of the waterfall?
She looked here and there and noticed a shiny thing in the middle. The wind started to blow fastly carrying a huge amount of dust with it. Kim covered her eyes with her hand as the wind was strong and water was coming out of her eyes and nose.
A black thing came out of the trees and surrounded Kim Shee and threw her with a strong force, she hit hard in the tree.
" Wow wonderful a traveler come to meet me", said the black thing. Then the strange creature showed her face.
It was petrifying. She had a long face with a pointed nose. Red blood flowed from her hair and her eyes were deep and shiny red.
Kim Shee closed her eyes eventually because she was afraid of her.
" Well, you closed your eyes so that you cannot look at me but you can hear by daunting voice.", whispered the strange lady. It was an evil spirit.
" I was all alone for the last seventy years and now I think I get your company. I died at ripe old age because I was slaughtered by the king. And your old grandfather..", said the spirit.
" Wait! What the old man?", panted Kim.
" Yes the old man who saved you from falling and now heading towards the Beggdar forest but don't know what are its consequences", gasped the evil spirit grabbing and lifting Kim above the ground.
" Don't hurt them or …", challenged Kim.
" Or what?", said the spirit. " I am hungry for the last seventy years I will eat you first."
She came near Kim and there was a swish of the sword within the screams of spirit.
" I will come back.", shouted the spirit and disappeared.
Kim fall to the ground and her eyes were still closed.
" You can open your eyes", said a gentle voice. The old man and others had reached the village of Beggdar. The air of the village was vibrating with the greetings for the old man.
" Welcome our hero!", said an old woman who was carried by a strong man. " Welcome Santiago", said the old man.
" Thank u, my friends and family. I missed you all.", declared the old man.
" Wow, his name is Santiago.", whispered Nora in Mi-chan's ear.
" Yeah, he never told us", replied Mi-chan.
" Ms.Rens the tents and fire are ready", said a servant to the old lady.
" We shall talk about everything later first you all should take some rest.", said the old lady.
All the children observed the village. The village was brightly lit up by lanterns, tents, and fire.
" Everything is so good over here.", claimed Lee. " It feels like home".
" Yes, you can feel at home here", said a kind lady who was walking with Lee. Her name was Kagami. She is seventeen years old. While walking they all reached tents.
" It's night time you all go and be fresh. Then we will eat together sitting by the fire.", said the old lady.
Everyone entered their tents.
