2023-02-06 20:42:18Garga town is one of the most lively parts of the country. Dark clouds covered the night sky of this lively town and the wind was howling as if it would uproot the whole earth with its inhabitants. Small Droplets of water were being dispersed by the wind, it was as if the heavens were spitting in contempt at the mortal men.
The merchants trading at the roadsides were running Helter skelter while packing their goods into their various shops, stores, or stalls. People were running for cover as the power of the raging wind grows stronger. Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sky and the heavens finally unleashed their fury. The rain was hitting the ground and roofing of houses and shops… with great force that it canceled out all other sounds. A lone man was seen walking down the nowempty road. After the long Israelite walk, Charlie got home after 40 minutes, to meet his paternal uncle, uncle Ben waiting at his doorstep. “ Charlie!! “ It was the shout from uncle Ben that woke him up from his reveries. “What a great surprise uncle! What wind brought you here!” Charlie exclaimed when he saw his favorite uncle, Ben. “ Quick! Open the door and let me in, we have a lot to talk about. “ uncle ben said while looking at him strangely. Charlie’s slightly red eyes, sad face, and ruffled hair were evident enough to show that something is wrong with him. … Charlie narrated how his six years relationship crashed in one night. He described everything vividly, creating a clear image in uncle ben's head “ life goes on, my brother. You just have to be thankful that it was not after you got married to her that you caught her cheating… “ “ But it shouldn’t be that lowlife, uncle! It shouldn’t be him. I caught her department manager pounding her from behind!! Why wouldn’t I be sad??! “ Charlie shouted with a quavering voice. … “ I came to ask if you’ll be interested in going to the sambisa forest with me, but now I don’t need to ask, you need the trip so could get your mind off her. “ uncle ben sipped on his tea before stating his purpose of visit. “ what should we be doing in that dangerous place? “ Charlie asked. “ oh! Nothing much, we’re going there for sightseeing, or what do you think? “ uncle ben questioned. “ hahaha!! I’m very sorry professor ben, what else should we be doing if not digging for the truth?” Charlie laughed for the first time in five hours, albeit it being a peal of awkward laughter. “Recently, one of our archeology research team at the University of Ibadan found a cave with strange murals drawn on the inside, on mount sambisa. The most amazing thing about this discovery is that a huge skeleton which seems to be the remains of some ancient giant was found in the cave. It was sitting in a lotus position as if it was an ancient Chinese monk meditating. The main reason why I was invited to join the team is that there was a secret room behind the cave that uses some strange mechanism that’ll require the expertise of an experienced archeologist to unlock. “ Uncle Ben showed Charlie the picture of the giant skeleton sent to his phone by the team. “ I guess I’ll go then “ “ go have some rest first, there’s a long journey ahead of us. “ uncle ben patted him on the back before going to the guest room prepared for him. …. 6 a.m the next morning, Charlie just finished packing his bag while his uncle continued to nag from outside the house. They both got inside the car after some minutes and zoomed off to meet up with other members of the archeology team. When they got to their meeting point, the whole team was already seated on the bus, waiting for their arrival, as they were the only ones who are yet to arrive. They had no choice but to enter the bus and began the trip. Halfway through the journey, uncle ben noticed that Charlie had begun to get moody all over again, so he fumble through his pocket to bring out an amber fossil. “This is one of the many things that were dug out of the ground near the mountain. There are lots of other things that we’re found in the ground, like skeletons of the colossal beasts, and large footprints were found on the mountains… you can keep it if you like it. Uncle Ben handed the amber fossil over to Charlie and he noticed the curiosity in his eyes as he showed him the gem. “After many researches and observation, some experts conceded that it’s the remains of an unknown civilization… “ With the way uncle ben was talking nonstop, it was as if he swallowed a transistor radio. Charlie had no choice but to listen throughout the whole trip. Though there are many times he blanked out but his talkative uncle was there to wake him up and feed him some facts about the site. “We’re here!!” Uncle been was still ‘lecturing’ Charlie when the man sitting behind him tapped him on the shoulder to inform him. When they got to the site, uncle ben took Charlie around the place to satiate his curiosity. After some minutes, the whole team gathered again and ten men were chosen to go up the mountain. The entrance of the cave was high up in the middle of the mountain so each member of the team had to climb up the mountain with ropes attached to their waist. When they entered the cave, they saw different types of drawing on the wall; murals of some strange beasts and animals. Immediately he saw those paintings he told his uncle that this place looked like some totem gallery to which his uncle agreed. After observing the mechanism of the secret room door for some minutes, uncle ben noticed some ancient writings on the walls. “ what language is it professor ben?” one of the men asked. That’s the main reason why they invited him here. “ It’s the ancient galturi language, it is the key to opening this place.” Uncle ben answered then he bent down and used his hand to search for something on the ground. After some seconds he pressed on something and the stone door came crashing down on him. Charlie quickly used both hands to support the stone door to prevent it from falling on his precious uncle. “ Charlie, why don’t you carry this stone door outside to make it more convenient for us to explore the cave.” Said uncle ben. Charlie carried the heavy stone while walking backward but his mind was not there entirely, he was still thinking about how his six years relationship crashed yesterday night and he forgot that he was already outside the cave. He kept walking backward until his left leg was touching the air did he realize that he was about to fall off the Cliff. He tried every means to balance himself, but the weight of the large stone crushed him, and he fell. The fossil his uncle gave him slipped out of his pocket, and he saw a faint shadow of a tree inside the gemstone. He stretched out his hand to take back the gem to observe more clearly, but his index finger could only graze passed the sharp edges of the gem, staining the amber fossil with his blood. After his blood touched the stone, the image inside the gem became clearer, it was a golden tree. The golden tree flashed for some minutes before the whole gem dissolved into golden particles that were absorbed unconsciously by him through the wound on his finger.

“My name is Charlie Kaptur and I belong to the flame totem tribe! If you’re not happy with my answer, go f@#& yourself!” Charlie cursed. This time, it was as if the lightning Charlie had emotions. It raised its hand and a lightning mountain jutted out from beneath Charlie’s feet. Standing atop the lightning mountain, Charlie’s whole body was numb from the lightning energy that was penetrating his body through the soles of his feet. “Who are you?” Charlie’s eyes were wide open at the sound of this familiar voice. “I don’t know, do your worst” Charlie shrugged his shoulder, then silently closed his eyes, bracing himself for what was to come. “Argh!!!!” Charlie’s eyes jutted open almost instantly. The mountain beneath him melted at a frightening speed and had turned into a pool of lightning. Submerged in this lightning pool was Charlie, who was now trying his best to endure the pain. A few seconds later, the lightning pool dried up, and transformed into the shape of the lightn

He saw every part the grassland in a bird's eye view.A crystal clear river covered in blue lightning could be seen 100meters west, below the mountain.Suddenly, the river flashed with lightning, and a young boy made entirely of lightning walked out of the river.The boy looked up at him and smiled, sending shivers down Charlie's spine. The boy looked exactly like him, with face, height, and even smile, except that he's made entirely of lightning.Charlie rubbed his face, to be sure if what he was seeing is the real deal. but immediately after doing that, the lightning Charlie

Charlie tried to warn him, but he's hellbent on possessing his body… well, charlie was just acting weak so that the ice vulture would let down its guard and fall into the trap."Hahaha!! Look who's back!" The ice vulture proclaimed as it opened its eyes in a new body (Charlie's body). "What!? I can't breathe… where the hell am i?!"The vulture cried out as he found himself wrapped in a white cloth. He was suffocating, as everywhere was black and he can't get up from his laid down position."What?! Which fool buried me alive" the ice vulture screamed at the top of its lungs, but no one was there to provide an answer to his question… well, someone was there, a team of young warriors from the water tribe was passing through the forest on his way back from bird hunting.They thought it's a human that was playing pranks on them, so they traced the voice to its source. They almost pissed their pants when they discovered that the voice was coming from a grave."I still don't believe this, w

"Boss, where should we go now?" Granda asked."I think I know where to go. Somewhere they'll never be able to find us," Charlie said as he thought of that one place everybody is afraid to go; the silent garden.The trio walked for almost three days before they could get to their destination. Charlie put the brothers in the small hut and warned them not to get out unless they wants to get eaten by the sunflowers.He quickly went out to the stingy trees' side, to test out the new skills he had gained and to also check his body to see if he has awakened any other ability.He quickly summoned his avatar, but he was amazed at the sight of the totem avatar behind him."Brother vulture, is that you?" Charlie was amazed at the sight of the ice vulture Avatar staring back at him.He couldn't help but remember what happened after he had swallowed the vulture's power core.…One week earlier.Charlie just swallowed the ice vulture's core. He lost consciousness immediately after swallowing the cor

"Since you all don't believe me, Open up the grave and see for yourself," old ancestor Bright said."You'll have to give us an explanation if we didn't find his corpse there. Your flaming totem tribe will pay a price for deceiving the six other tribes, and you must surrender your disciple for investigation." Mr Wang added fuel to the fire."That's good! Hahaha! Your shadow clan had long been eyeing the secrets of our flaming totem tribe for a while now. You failed Everytime, you're now resorting to this shameless method now?" Old ancestor Bright laughed."You're the shameless one here, old man! You clearly colluded with your disciple to steal the power core and now you're shifting the blame on me?" Mr Wang snorted."Okay, I accept your condition. But I have a condition of mine to give…" old ancestor Bright paused, and watched the facial expressions of those present."If you should find the corpse of my disciple in that little hole you're about to dig, you'll have to compensate the fla

He was looking over his shoulder now and then, just to make sure any shadow or beast did not follow them.“We’re currently passing through a haunted plain at night. Don’t you feel excited?” Granda said. “To tell you the truth, there are no ghosts in this world…”Brad didn’t even let him land before replying, “So, all the village folks who passed through here at night weren’t hearing voices? They were imagining things, right?”“There must be someone hiding behind the darkness to scare innocent villagers who are passing through. That is why I must uncover the truth.” Granda beat his chest as he swore.The two level one totem warriors argued on till they reached the Bindu forest after the icy plains.Suddenly! They heard someone talking in a low voice. The voice was coming from deep inside the forest.“Haha! Now let’s see who’s h

Charlie didn't get another chance to use the technique, as the vulture was now attacking him from a safe distance.He does not want the battle to go on till midnight when he’ll become weak from the bloody marks, so he did something crazy to lure the vulture to attack.
