Poten

Scarlet set one foot in the dark cave entrance.

"Huh?

As soon as I stepped on the mossy floor, I lost the center and crushed the butt. Fortunately, he fell on the slope, avoiding the ground at all, but unfortunately, the floor that touched his buttocks was also very slippery, so he quickly entered the cave as if he had been dragged down.

Gaaaah!

It's a screaming situation. I hurriedly tried to grab onto something that was caught next to me, but I couldn't hold it at all, just the moss that fell down.

Choo-wook.

I was rich in black space as if my body was sliding.

Tak grips her wrist, rattling.

The force that goes down and the power that grabs her rolls the floor together.

Ugh.

Scarlet groans and turns his head to the person who grabbed him and rolled him together in agony as the gravel crashes against his back. The user can feel the opposing Pokémon's chest caved in because it's dark and empty.

Scarlet. Are you okay?

Minho's voice. Scarlet nods in relief.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. River.

I'm glad you're there, but I'm not okay because I'm constantly pressed.

Oh, I'm sorry!

Scarlet tried to get up, thinking Minho would be sicker as he was tightening his whole body. However, she stepped back and stopped, her hand curled up like lightning. The reactions made me feel deeper in Minho's heart.

Hehe.

Scarlet gives you a misunderstood look about what's going on, but thinks it's too dark to pass it on to the other party and asks.

Why, what's wrong?

There's a stone behind you. Slowly.

· · · Aha.

Whether Minho's calm voice caused Scarlet to gradually find peace of mind. And I missed the flashlight, but I realized the camera in my waist pocket was still there.

I gently patted my waist and pulled out the camera. There was no place that was as broken as the cameras that had been together for so long.

Jiaying.

When I turned on the power and turned on the light, the inside appeared.

You see a natural passageway of rock cracks below the sloping cavern. Scarlet looks at the terrain, turning the light to the side, and meets Minho's eyes, which he uses as a bed.

Oops, I'm sorry.

As Scarlet turns around and sits down, Minho lets out a sigh of relief and raises his upper body.

Are you hurt? I think I'm bleeding.

It's just a scratch.

I'll give you some first aid if you go downstairs. Disinfectant must be.

That's not the point. Mr. River, what are you doing here?

This was a question I wanted to ask from the time I climbed the steep cliff path along the valley. The camera's light touched Minho's face. Minho replied with an unbelievably relaxed expression that he had tried to enter this dark cave alone.

I'm exploring.

Here? At this hour?

I didn't think it would take that long. And it looked like this was where people came in and out of.

Minho points to a crevice that continues downward.

Not in a narrow place, but down.

Minho pointed down because he was crouching in the space that was between the rocks. Scarlet looks down at the camera light in more detail. It didn't seem like such a dangerous cave.

Did Mr. Robber slip?

Could I?

Scarlet's eyes widen when she sees Minho shine a flashlight she just missed while she was sliding. When did you catch him?

The two men carefully climb down the slope and stand on the ground.

Minho pointed to the front.

Maybe there's something in front of me that an Indian friend said.

Minho smiles at Scarlet's gaze and says, "What's that?"

I don't know until I go. But I don't think it's dangerous. Scarlet goes back here. It's just my own personal deviation.

Scarlet turns his gaze to the light that flows from above the first sliding slope. I was embarrassed and didn't know, but I thought it was enough to walk again if I was careful with the moss.

You said there was a way to fit into the wild?

Scarlet turned the camera into a night vision, he said.

I should definitely take a picture of the wilderness involved in this place.

I realized that Minho walking in front of me, squeezing the natural cave that occasionally drifts between the stones and the stones, was not far from warm from the bow and felt the hot energy.

Wow, Mr. River. Exploring these terrain is worth reporting on its own. Good to Follow.

You turn your head to the voice behind your back, and Scarlet catches up with you. It's just because of the environment in the wet cave that it catches my eyes that my clothes are stuck to my body. She was exposed to slight chest flexion because she was wearing an outdoor clothing with water-ready materials. Normally, my heart would be pounding and my body would be in a commotion.

But now there is no desire. It was only peaceful and relaxed because it was greatly assimilated by the Indian sentiments embedded in the bow.

‘Hmmm · · · Would it feel like this if this is a confessor? ’

The problem is that there is a beautiful girl with such a great figure right behind her, and she doesn't feel anything.

Why, Mr. River? Is there a problem?

No.

Minho pointed to a crevice in front of him after clearing his throat.

I think I need to crawl a little bit because the terrain is low in front of me, are you okay?

Yes.

Minho, who lowered his posture first and started to crawl forward, soon reached the end of this expedition.

I shined forward with a flashlight.

A 6 metre wide space surrounded by spacious, smooth stones. Based on the large stone in the middle of the heart, there were dozens of rocks, like memorials, which made me wonder if it was a place where the indigenous Indians used to do things like magic.

Minho came completely inside and immediately shot the bow on the floor, and he experienced the scene starting to come to mind.

I can see a young man with a bow in his back leaping into the cave. The young man shouted at the wrinkled old man sitting inside.

- Chief, Andrew passed a mandatory migration law. That filthy son of a bitch is bringing a cavalry, and he's trying to get the tribe off the ground. Gather the warriors now and counterattack.

- Thunder Arrow. Calm down.

Minho realized that the young man is the master of this era and was called ‘Thunder Arrow’ by the Indian name.

Najjik opened his mouth like a chief with a young man's name on his mouth.

- The fate of the tribe cannot guarantee a great war. Their stature is too great for that. Gather the warriors and see that our tribe settles in a new nest as safely as possible.

- But...

- All the earth on Earth was created by a spirit. Humans were born in that land, and no one can be its master. The land belongs to everyone. So don't be so sad.

The chief gave a loving look to the young man who swallowed tears.

I'm too old to handle that journey. I will stay here and defend your ancestor's grave to the end.

- · · · I'll be back, Chief. You must!

Then I understood Min-ho correctly.

A forced migration of 16,000 Cherokee Indians, a tragic journey that killed 4,000 people after five months of cold, hunger and disease. The master of this age was a Sickened Cherokee warrior in the middle of it.

After nearly a hundred and fifty years, he finally returned to protect his ancestors' graves. In the meantime, there have been many changes in the terrain of the entrance and passageway, but miraculously there has been no harm.

Scarlet looks inside, standing next to Minho, who wakes up from his memory, unable to keep his mouth shut.

Oh, my God. Ruins?

It's like a burial ground for Cherokee ancestors.

How did you do that? ’In Scarlet's eyes,' Minho recalled a book he had seen before coming.

I read in a book called "History of the Mountains." That symbol. You see it? It's a Cherokee symbol.

Minho pointed to the symbols on the wall with bows and bows and graves.

That's a strange name. Bow and bow.

How do you know it's your name?

It's a simple Indian language. The pattern highlighted on the back of the bull is the expression that reads, "The backside scaffolding of the bull." That picture with the wolves there is literally a number of 'three wolves.' ’

Aha.

With the knowledge of the proletariat, Scarlet was amazed at the language of symbols used to solve Minho's drinking.

Mr. River. Wait, I need you to do that again in front of the cameras.

Scarlet woke up and brought Cam to Minho. Minho nodded his head and listened to the story of the Sickened Cherokee tribe.

"You've done this much, so you've managed to tame it, right? ’

Minho glanced at the orange-colored flagpole. Among the warm energy that had been sensed from the bow, something that felt the most mild rose and touched Minho's heart.

Irra, the meaning of gratitude.

‘Thank you, too. I had a lot of help today. And we see these amazing ruins. ’

Minho expected the orange light to disappear slowly, but as it became brighter, he was embarrassed for a moment.

The orange light gradually came out in front of the archer, and Minho became the figure of the young man he saw in his memories.

“Huh · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Seeing Minho groaning unconsciously, Scarlet looks at him with a curious face.

The vision that only Minho could see was so complete that he walked towards the stone that appeared to be an empty tomb.

"Oops."

On second thought, the purpose of the archer was one. Coming back to this place. When he reached the tomb, he circled, giving up on the artifact and trying to disappear into the tomb.

Minho now only looked at the shell of the artifact, which had become a piece of wood, and turned his gaze to the form of a 'thunder arrow’ that had reached the front of the stone tomb.

‘Oh, my God. I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't swear like a fraudulent dice. ’

Something happened when I was looking at the rooftop of the dog chasing the chicken, but I decided that I should be proud of myself. Nevertheless, the bitterness did not go away.

However, 'Thunder Arrow’, who thought it would disappear, turned his head and looked at Minho. It was a vague vision, so it was not visible, but Minho definitely thought he was looking at himself.

Thunder Arrow reached out.

Whee!

And the sound of the wind. Minho felt the energy coming out of his vision hurling and touching his body. I can feel the hot energy on the back of my left hand, and I can see a subtle glow of the pattern of thunder and arrow crossing.

What, what is this? ’

The faint glow soon disappeared.

Minho watched the ‘Thunder Arrow’ once nod and enter the stone tomb to enter eternal rest.

Did you just give me some kind of blessing? ’

A tribe that worships something spiritual. I vaguely thought it would be tamed in a different way than before because it was possessed by the warriors of such tribes, but I could not understand the exact principle. I wish there was something effective about the symbol on the back of my hand, but I don't know yet.

Mr. River, are you okay?

She grabs Minho's arm, which seems to be dazzled, and shakes it slightly. Minho nods, saying it's okay.

It's really over. Let's get out of here. I think it's night.

Yes.

Scarlet told Minho the last time he shot straight into the cave.

If this place is released on air later, can I reserve an interview in advance?

It doesn't matter, but why the interview?

Filming here, after the competition and when it's out in the open, is going to be huge. Definitely.

Would you like to talk about it that much? It's just a forgotten tomb.

You're the first person to discover a place that no one else knew. It's also story-rich. I don't know anything else, but I do know this. Pure-blooded Cherokee Indians are now a minority, but there are still half as many half-bloods.

From Scarlet's mouth, celebrities named Elvis Presley Jimmy Hendrickney lined up their names. Minho said, "Did you? ’I was surprised, but I wasn't particularly impressed. They're the ones I wouldn't meet if I didn't get their stuff.

Mr. River. I'll lead the way. I think we need to get the hallway all the way to the entrance.

Do it.

Scarlet leans forward with his torso first.

Minho had to swallow a groan as he crawled along with his flashlight.

Scarlet's lower body wet to reveal her underwear line. That's why the very stuffy sight in front of his nose was exposed as it was without any filtration. Moreover, the spiritual emotions that had been indirectly given to the experience were also gone.

‘Cough.’

However, Minho, who ignored and crawled around, felt his instinct as a man who had been forced to be forced to do so, and his lower part was swept by the stone until he came to pain.

Scarlet. Go ahead.

Yes? Why?

I'll meditate and follow you for just a minute inside.

After a while, Minho stood at the entrance of the cave.

Because the sky was clear all day, the landscape of the forest and mountains with moonlight and starlight was still visible at night. Scarlet, who was waiting first, was filming the landscape to see if it was cool.

Amazing view.

Minho nods, agreeing with Scarlet as Najjik mutters.

Unlike the foolish humans of the Cherokee, this land still held a view as pure and beautiful as it could be. On the day before a hundred and fifty years ago, Minho felt his heart darkened again.

Then the Thunder Arrow symbol shines faintly from the back of your hand.

Huh?

At this moment, Minho felt the knowledge of the forest that he had felt all the way here with a bow. It was also as clear as the pictorial symbol of the Cherokee tribe seen in the grave, not as a faint line of scrolls.

The direction of the spruce tree forest is the mountain bird, the wind symbol, and the rabbit, wolf and sand symbol on the horizon beyond.

‘You gave it to me earlier. ’

A curious experience in which the stories of nature, the stories of forests and animals, seem to be understood by the crude pictorial symbols. The symbols in the blinking terrain gradually faded, but Minho smiled satisfactorily. I didn't regret it at all because I knew I could help whenever I wanted.

Shall we go down, Mr. River?

Go. The group will be worried.

Minho saw the thunder arrows on his back slowly disappear and thought,

That the Indian who had creased this vast land and mountain range was gone, but that meant a little for himself. Though he may not be of Cherokee descent, he felt he needed to follow their philosophy as much as possible, as long as he passed through this land.

‘Bye, Thunder Arrow. ’

* * *

Day 2 at the site of the border of the spruce tree forest, 16km.

- Scarlet, get those coordinates back.

35 degrees north 36 minutes · 83 degrees west 20 minutes · · · · · · · ·.

- Holly, Jesus, team nine is now number one. We're 10 miles from the mountains.

"Really? Where's Henry?

- 9.3 miles.

I thought we were going 12 miles.

- You're breathing. I got sidetracked to avoid overlapping courses with other teams. But this is the most direct route I've ever been to. It's been a conversation here. But the Korean team is an amazing achievement. Aren't we all a little overzealous on our first day?

Through the forest, the mountain topography didn't walk very much.

Straight line? Okay, well, call me in the morning when you get a chance. Michael out.

I couldn't help but overhear Scarlet on the radio with an early morning production team. I double-checked the GPS coordinates, but they weren't incorrect.

Scarlet turned his gaze to the Korean team who were sleeping side by side. We only spent the day together, but I was more and more excited about the journey ahead.

In particular, I wondered what kind of story that young Asian boy who stood up and scratched his head like he was nothing.

Perhaps I had a glimpse of a 200km trail filled with mysterious and delightful things like that last night.

‘It's just a hunch. ’
