Guardian Stone
Expeditionary

The sun shines with its heat. The hot air so stung the skin, sweat flooded Liana's body.

"The heat...." Liana took another sip of the drinking water she brought.

"Everything! We'd better take a break!" bachri sir exclaimed to his expedition. It was with pleasure that Liana immediately laid her body on one of the shady trees, not far from where she stood.

"Well..it's convenient....!" Liana fanned her slightly flushed face, due to the hot air.

"Eh... Don! You're not sapped?!" liana exclaimed to her best friend Doni. Liana asked Mr. Bachri to let him take his best friend Doni. His reason for accompanying him on the trip.



"Lumayan.." replied Doni sitting near Liana. Doni was like a brother to Liana. Doni also has a job related to what they do today, namely looking for rare stones. Doni works as an observer of rocks and the geography of the earth.

Liana circulated her gaze towards her fellow entourage. No one knows him. He was grateful to be able to bring Doni if not who he would talk to.

Actually Liana felt a little strange with the group that Mr. Bachri brought. Almost everyone carried a gun, even if they slipped it behind their waist or vest. All of that was still visible in Liana's eyes. Some of them were indeed from the beginning carrying long-barreled weapons. They said to be on guard if there were any beasts.

A few minutes later Liana and all the troupe continued their journey. Entering the forest area, tracing the dense trees.

Mr. Bachri was in front of the group to become a travel director.

"We keep going like this...? does Mr Bachri know where we're headed??" whispered Doni. Walk with Liana.

"Let's go. We just follow.." replied Liana.

They are getting further into the forest. Huge and tall trees were towering their footsteps. Mr. Bachri stopped his footsteps. He looked at the piece of paper he had noticed since. The dull paper was a guide for Bachri to lead him to his destination.

"We are close to our goal!" exclamation Bachri. Look at the steep cliff on his right. Bachri researched carefully while looking at the dull paper in his hand.

"Here we go....!!" Bachri. He smiled with satisfaction, the members of the group seemed excited again to know what they were looking for had been found.

"Boss, is this really the place?" ask Bobby. The pelontos-headed man told Bachri.

"Yes... there's no mistaking it... I'm sure this is the place!?" bachri said, sure.

"Now we just need to find the gatekeeper statue to open this door!" yell Bachri again. All the troupe rushed in search of the statue intended by Bachri.

"Meet!! Over here, Boss!!" exclaimed Heru, a tall man with a dark green vest. Heru managed to quickly find the location of the gatekeeper statue.

"That's great." - praise Bachri. He then approached the guard statue while carrying a medium-sized suitcase. The suitcase he just took out of his backpack.

KLACK!! The suitcase is open, inside there are 2 pieces of precious stones in clear purple and dark blue. Liana knew that the stone was a sapphire that she had seen at the exhibition.

Liana's eyes again saw a blue aura emanating from the sapphire stone, but this time not only the blue aura but the purple aura radiance. The purple aura emanation came from the purple stone that was near the sapphire stone.

"That purple aura.." Inner Liana. Looking at the purple aura that was circulating in the air.

Mr. Bachri took the amethyst stone and put it in the hand of the statue he was looking for. The statue looks like someone who is sitting in a row with both hands facing forward. The amethyst stone shone, a purple aura circling brightly in the air.

Rumbling sounds rang out, the ground around where they were was shaking. The cliffs near them shook and ancient carvings suddenly appeared to form a gate.

GRRRRRGGGHHH!!!

The cliffs are open, like a very solid gate. There is a long hallway, like a secret cave deliberately hidden from the crowd. Everyone was amazed by what happened.

"How can you?!" liana, don't believe. Hi this is also a question for all members of the group.

*****

Dap. . . Dap. . . Dap. . .

Step by step the Bachri troupe. They entered the secret cave from behind the cliff. They traced the path with the light from the stones emitting a greenish glow. The green glowing stones were scattered on the walls of the cave.

Liana's eyes could not escape her admiration. This place is truly beautiful.for the first time Liana is this happy.

"Hey Liana! Come ... don't you miss....!" Doni reminded

"Ohh, yes" said Liana. Liana's eyes were still fixed on that beautifully shining rock.

"Basic....! This child, if he sees the innate stone does not remember the same surrounding" inner Doni.

They continued their journey, until they finally stopped at a large expanse of land. Unlike the road they passed before which was a narrow path.

"Dead-end!"

"There is no other way! Did we miss something??"

"Well how is this, Boss?!"

Bachri opened the old sheet of paper he was carrying.

"This is not a dead end, but it was deliberately closed to protect its contents" Bachri said. He took out his suitcase and took the Sapphire stone. Bachri was seen looking for something and soon he found a statue among the stalagmite pile.

The statue is like a statue at the entrance, only the pose of the guard statue this time standing with both hands turned up. Bachri placed the Sapphire stone in the hand of the statue.

BBRRRRGGGHHH!!!....

The earth shook again, ancient carvings appeared on the walls of the cliff.
