Something Mysterious Stored Inside a Stone Building

He pulled out the nearest grass to give to the deer who faithfully accompanied him. The deer ate some of the clumps but refused others because it felt full. Lusia tried to smile amidst her turmoil.

"If you can understand my language, I want to ask what's the matter with this forest? Where did Hendra go, and ... why do you want to accompany me?" Lusia asked while staring into the clear eyes of the deer who continued to sit not wanting to be away from him.

The girl kept trying to communicate with the wild animal behaving strangely to dispel her uneasiness.

The deer raised its head as if it understood what Lusia was talking about.

And the girl was flabbergasted when she saw that the animal's eyes looked teary, like tears. Then lowered his head as Lusia looked at him unblinking.

"Are you ... crying?" The girl stared in disbelief. "Fine, fine! I don't know who you are. But at least say something useful for me right now," Lusia then patted the animal's cheek lightly. "I have to make sure that Hendra is okay, and get out of this forest. I'm getting scared ..."

The deer bellowed softly. He looked up for a moment, then slowly walked toward the square hole.

Lusia followed in astonishment. Animals are not only docile, but they can also communicate in their way. Maybe this animal is a demon, he thought.

The animal kissed the square stone supporting the open hole.

Lusia furrowed her brows.

"You want me to follow Hendra inside?"

The beast sits beside the hole.

"Okay. Maybe that's what you mean. I'm scared. But I want to make sure Hendra is okay," after saying that Lusia slowly climbed the lip of the hole, then went down the steps in the form of a ladder. His heart was haunted by feelings of anxiety. What's down there? Why doesn't Hendra go back and forth?

With a pounding heart, he descended downstairs. Her eyes widened and brushed against the gloom in the hole.

"Ooohhh!" Lusia was taken aback. Down there, in the form of a narrow, square room, you can see Hendra leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Not moving, in the middle of the room there was another 2-meter square object. It was also made of stone.

Lusia ignored the object in the middle of the room but quickly approached Hendra who was leaning back.

"Hendra ...!" Confused with anxiety, he shook the young man's shoulders.

The young man didn't move. "Hen ... wake up, Hen! Wake up!" he kept shaking it until the young man opened his eyes a little.

Lusia let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're still alive! Hen, why are you like this ?!"

He tugged at the young man's arm. Hendra looks very weak. His face was also very pale. "Sorry I can't tell you my situation, fortunately, you came here ...." Hendra said softly.

"What happened?" Lusia. Whispered in fear. He looked around him.

Hendra vigorously raised his hand to point at the box-shaped object in the narrow space. "Don't you approach that thing ...! I ... have been trying to open it .... until I'm like this ..."

Lusia quickly turned her head towards the object she was pointing at. Then stared at Hendra, confused and afraid. "What am I to do, Hen? And what's in that thing?"

"All my blood seemed to be sucked when I opened it, fortunately, I quickly closed it back, uh ..." The young man tried to lean his head back against the wall because he nearly slumped to the floor.

"Oh ..." Lusia was getting scared. "We have to get out of this forest! It turns out that what people say is true. This forest does have a curse," hissed Lusia, holding the young man's arm.

Between fear and curiosity, he turned his head back to the square stone in the middle of the room. "What do you see in that thing?" she whispered.

"Looks like a naked woman, but not very clear. It looks like only the body is still intact ... I only had time to see ... the legs" Hendra grimaced because his head was getting dizzy.

"Hang in there, Hen! I'm trying to get you out here. It's all my fault," Lusia tried to support the young man.

"Ma love, Luis. But if you can't afford it, just leave me here. You're looking for Martinus, ask him for help," said Hendra in a low voice. The young man drooped more and more, his eyes began to dim.

"Hen? Hendra ...?!" Lusia patted the young man's cheek. "Ouch! How is this? Even though he's my only hope to get out of this forest!" he complained.

The beautiful girl keeps trying to revive Hendra. He also tried to support the young man's body, but it was too heavy that he fell to the floor again. "Oops! Sorry, sorry ...!" Lusia tried to stretch out Hendra's body, which fell on her stomach.

The girl was confused by herself. He paced back and forth for a moment, then looked up and out of the hole. "How do you get Hendra out? Geez! This is the godlike difficulty!" The girl grumbled.

After waiting for a long time for Hendra not to wake up, he decided to get out of the hole. Previously he had looked timidly at the square stone that was inside.

Slowly he climbed the stone steps. "Hang in there, Hen ... I'm looking for help," she whispered.

With trembling legs, he continued to walk out of the hole. When it was outside the thick clouds greeted him.

The tame deer was still in that place. "You're loyal too!" said Lusia in a trembling voice.
