The Story of the Little Beggar
Eternal Life

Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan continue their journey through the dark cave, bringing with them the Eternal Life artifacts they have discovered. They feel burdened by the huge responsibility they now have.

"I don't know what we should do with this artifact," Rizal said in a puzzled tone.

Maya stared at the artifact in amazement. "This is a very valuable and dangerous object. We must guard it from those who might use its power for their own good."

Irfan agreed. "But how can we be sure that we can keep this artifact safe?"

Dian followed, "We also have to find out more about the giant creatures we meet here. Why did he suddenly come back to life when the Dark Lord touched the artifact?"

All those questions hang in the air, but they have no answers at the moment. All they knew was that they had to find a way out of this cave and look for answers to all those questions.

They continued their journey through the dark cave, relying on their flashlights to guide them. They felt like they were immersed in a dark and mysterious underground world. Every rumbling sound or whirring of the wind made them feel even more anxious.

As they continued to explore the cave, they arrived at a large room containing a calm pool of water. In the middle of the pond, there was a small island with small trees thriving. This was a shocking sight amidst the darkness of the cave.

Dian looked at the pond with great admiration. "It's like a world apart in this cave."

Maya observed the pool water closely. "Maybe the water here is the source of the eternal life that this artifact possesses. Perhaps that is why the giant creature suddenly came back to life."

Rizal walked towards the pool and tried to dip his hands into the water. But the moment his hand touched the surface of the water, something shocking happened. The water started to spin and formed a powerful vortex, dragging him into the pond.

"Rizal!" maya shouted, trying to reach out to the hand of her friend who was about to drown in the whirlpool. But Irfan immediately pulled him back with great difficulty.

Suddenly, the pool of water let out a startling rumble, and something enormous emerged from it. It was a gigantic creature similar to the one they had encountered before, but it was much larger and powerful.

The creature looked at them with eyes full of anger. Without a doubt, the creature grabbed the Eternal Life artifact from Maya's hand and squeezed it with great force. The artifact shattered into pieces in the creature's grasp.

"Now, I will be immortal!" the creature shouted with an echoing voice.

Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan were feeling desperate. They had lost an extremely valuable artifact, and now they had to face this gigantic being that seemed to possess boundless power.

But suddenly, something strange happened. The giant creature suddenly stopped, bit its lips hard, and then slowly fell to the ground.

They all stared at the creature, puzzled by what had just happened. And then, they saw someone they didn't know emerge from behind the trees on the small island.

He was an old man dressed like an ancient witch, complete with a robe and a wooden staff. He smiled faintly at them.

"Thank you for freeing me from this curse" said the old man. "I am the guardian of the Eternal Life artifact, and I have been trapped inside this pond for centuries. That creature is my evil incarnation created by this artifact."

Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan looked at the old man in surprise. They don't know what they have to say.

The old man continued, "This artifact should not be in human hands. It was an enormous source of strength, and could only be safely guarded if it was returned to where it should be."

Hearing this, they knew what they had to do. They must return the Eternal Life artifact to its rightful place and stop any form of evil that its power might create.

Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan continue their journey out of the dark cave. They felt relieved after successfully breaking away from the giant creature and saving the old man who turned out to be the guardian of the Eternal Life artifact.

As they continued to explore the meandering cave, they could feel a change in the atmosphere. The air that had been moist and smelled of soil now became fresher. They began to hear the sound of running water, and sunlight began to penetrate through from the cracks in the ceiling of the cave.

Rizal exclaimed happily, "We're almost out of this cave!"

However, when they reached the brighter part of the cave, they were shocked by the sight they encountered. They had reached an open and vast area, which seemed to be a valley within the cave itself. A small river flowed in the middle of this valley, and lush greenery grew around it.

This was a very strange sight, like a secret garden hidden in an underground cave. Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan are fascinated by the natural beauty that lies before them.

"We must be careful" warned Irfan. "This area could be full of dangers that we don't know."

They continued their journey along the small river, searching for clues as to how they could get out of this cave and towards the origin of the Eternal Life artifact. They realize they are not alone here. Strange and unknown creatures began to emerge from the bushes and trees.

Dian tried to establish contact with these creatures. "We don't want to hurt you. We just want to get out of this cave."

However, the creatures simply stared at them with unblinking eyes, giving no sign of understanding or cooperation.

As they continued on their way, suddenly, they heard the sound of bells clanking from a distance. The voice sounded distant and faint, but they felt that it was a clue.

Maya notices the mark around her. "Did you hear that? It's like a bell."

Rizal nodded. "I think we should follow that voice. Maybe it'll get us out."

They followed the sound of bells getting louder, directing them in the right direction. The closer they got, the clearer the sound of those bells, and the faster they walked.

Finally, they arrived at a small mound in the cave valley. On top of the mound, they found a small church made of stones. The sound of bells comes from the church.

Maya approaches the church door and emboldens herself to open it. They stepped inside, and inside the church, they found a pastor sitting on a wooden bench. He was an old man in a white robe, and he smiled as he looked at them.

"Welcome, children," said the priest in a soft voice. "I've been waiting for you to come."

Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan are confused. How did this priest know about their arrival?

The priest explained, "I am the gatekeeper of this cave. I am also the guardian of the Eternal Life artifact. You have unleashed a curse that has held me in the cave for centuries, and I thank you for that."

They described their journey and how they lost the Eternal Life artifact. The pastor listened seriously.

"Your glorious search must continue" said the priest. "That artifact is very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. I'll help you find your way out of this cave and into where the artifact came from."

With the guidance of the priest, Maya, Dian, Rizal, and Irfan continue their journey. They felt that they were getting closer to their goal, and the desire to return the Eternal Life artifact to where it should have been was getting stronger in their hearts.
