Chapter-3
The Voice
After I met Bronzebeared I directly came back to the village and to my amazement I fund a whole party set up in the headman’s building. People were looking the best they could and Martha was sitting in the side of the desk. I sat by her side and asked “Martha, what is this party all about” “Today is the day of Resonance of the holy shrine” she answered. “Can you explain that what is this shrine?” I asked. “In our village it is believed that there is a shrine somewhere underneath the village and that shrine give us the sprit to carry out our life’s in difficult times like this we are facing” she explained. “Can you take me to that shrine” I asked to her. “Sorry but I can’t take you there because that place is not yet discovered” she answered. Now this really pissed me off but I said in amusement “How you now that something like this exist when you have not discovered it yet” “I said that today is the day of resonance so I meant that every year on 1 at night a voce comes from the underneath’s of this village assuring us of great happiness and joy in our life. And that voice says that the great shrine will always protect us, although this voice is not doing what it says” she said with disappointment. “Can you tell me what kind of voice this is I want to say that is it shrill or hard”? I asked. “Basically you can call it divine voice direct from god but it was resonance of loud and bold voice you be patient you will be able to hear it tonight” she said. I was already eager to hear that voice and when I got assured by Martha I was really excited to hear that voice. At 1 in night Mr. harry appeared in some kind of religious dress with a long over coat. All the people gathered around the grand tree in the middle of the village when a voice shook up the whole village-
“Greetings to all of my loved ones I am the god of the shrine of underneath, go forward in your life and be honest my blessings are with you! But beware of an intruder that will cleanse your hope”
And by this word ‘intruder’ everybody in the village looked at me with kind of wicked look. By the time the voice faded to extension but the villagers who looked friendly were looking fierce and doubtful. Martha and Harry came up and Martha said “I Martha the next leader of this village from this movement declare you as an intruder and appoint a local unit to inquire your luggage” “And till then you are ordered to stay out of this building” Harry said. And by this I myself got fierce and said “Who are you to say that I am a fully fledged crime branch government officer so you do not have any right to touch any of my luggages”. After all I was able to get out of that black village but I didn’t find any place to settle so I directly went to Mr. Brozebeards place because he was a simple tribal hunter. I first thought that I should go back to my office report this mission a failure but now it has become a matter of pride to solve this mystery.
