ADJOINING REALM
GETTING CLOSER TO THE ANSWER

After setting foot on the bloody muddy ground, Darto, Jaka, Komang, Sastro and Wajana immediately shot towards the last place they visited in their previous lives.

They darted away from the river, just to keep watch from enemies who might be sitting in the stream of blood flowing along the cave to their destination.

They drove like seconds of the clock itself, only resting when Darto and Jaka breathed in, then running back as fast as they could.

After a long run, the five men finally arrived at a tall, triangular building that was the origin where the Blood River began.

They slightly climbed the building, to see the condition of the skull village they had come before.

From a distance it looks once if the place nan is still quite far from where they stand is still very quiet. Not a single creature was visible, it looked absolutely no sign of life at all.

"How is this, Dar? It seems that in this place it is the same," asked Komang.

"We go straight to the big building, just in case we walk slowly after reaching the village bone," replied Darto.

Hearing Darto's words, all the men immediately returned to running, and stopped for a moment after arriving right in front of the substation made of skeletons.

"Sastro ... Wajana ... you guys do not go too far, no one knows what creatures we will meet after entering this village," said Darto with a serious face.

Sastro and Wajana immediately approached Komang which was being ridden by Jaka and Darto. Their paths clustered together, with a gaze that continued to sweep in all directions.

It was far enough that they had entered into the skeletal village, but everything looked the same, there were no signs of life at all in the place.

"Let's speed up our steps, I'm absolutely sure now that this place is safe" Darto said.

Hearing Darto's request, all the men immediately returned to walk at high speed, they darted through the village, towards the largest building made of piles of skeletons.

After arriving at the gate made of giant-sized ribs, they again walked slowly and felt hesitant to open the door that stood firmly in front of the five pairs of eyes of the men.

Amidst the feeling of indecision, Darto came down from Komang's shoulders saying "don't be afraid, even though this place is empty, at least we got one step in our favor."

Everyone was confused by what Darto said, but not for Komang, he was the only one who understood Darto's intentions after remembering the journey he had passed together.

After saying the word, Darto immediately pushed the door made of bones assisted by his four friends.

The sound of the creaking door actually sounded familiar, as they felt that they had only heard that creaking sound eight days ago.

When the door opens perfectly all eyes are again faced with darkness that seems to have no end.

They hesitate to step up, but they have to keep going in order to find the answers they are always looking for.

"Sepent ..." Said Darto while scrambling the glove bag he was carrying.

Darto seemed to take out the flashlight that he brought from the village of bells, and immediately turned on the object in his hand.

"Hah .. it is true my guess, this object will not be able to penetrate this black light," said Darto while sighing.

Without waiting for a long time Darto put the flashlight back in his hand, then they looked at each other and stepped forward forcibly.

"We just hold each other's hands from here, if anything strange, pull as tight as you can hold the hand" Komang said as he stopped everyone's steps.

Darto, Jaka, Sastro and Wajana immediately nodded, they immediately grabbed the palm of the person standing beside him, then stepped with hands shaking simultaneously.

One step, two steps even for hours they walked hand in hand, but the darkness seemed to have no end. They could not see the light that had originally appeared from the direction of their entrance, nor the light that they expected to see immediately from their front.

The hands that were clasping each other had started to sweat, their hearts had started to feel hopeless in that place, they were completely dead-end, they were completely dead-end, and also feel very eager to return to the place where they originally entered.

With a step that was already very weak due to fatigue, they continued to step without rest in the darkness.

They were all convinced, if the place had an edge, whether it was still far away, or perhaps it was near.

"We rest first, but do not let go of your hands" said Darto.

Everyone stopped the step. They all sit down to just relax the leg muscles that seem to have almost broken up because they continue to step.

They actually rested while continuing to clasp the palm of the person beside him. They were afraid that they would be separated, in a place that even to see their own hands could not.

"Kang .. we are really being played," Jaka said as he chuckled.

"You laughing, Jak?" darto asked with a smile of disbelief.

"How is it not funny, Kang? We just can't use our eyes, but he can really make us all confused for days" Jaka replied this time with a serious face, his face could not be seen by anyone beside him.

"Jaka! You're so smart, Jak!" scorching Darto.

"You've got it, Dar!" Sastro Gerricks.

"You took my heart out, Dar!" ketus Wajana's.

The two of them were shocked half to death when the person whose hand they were holding suddenly shouted within the darkness.

"Ha ha ha ha, why don't I think that this is just a simple trick!" Shouted Darto loudly, with a happy face that should be emblazoned if they are not in a dark place.

"I mean, Kang?" ask Jaka plain.

"Try now we stand," pinta Darto.

Hearing the request, they immediately stood up almost simultaneously at that time. Everyone was waiting for the speech that Darto would make in silence.

"All are standing?" ask Darto back.

"Already," replied simultaneously all friends of Darto.

"Now close your eyes, to the one at the very end and have one idle hand, touch every place that is beside you. From now on we will walk to the right, if you can touch something, say it directly, and do not open your eyes," Pinta Darto returned.

"I'm the last one, Kang. My right hand is idle!" jaka.

"Now we close our eyes, for Jaka continues to stretch hands, report anything you touch," said Darto.

"Okay, Kang" Jaka replied.

They walked away and closed their eyes without asking. Everyone really complied with what Darto asked, until suddenly jaka shouted so loudly saying the word, "Kang! I touched something!"
