Mystery of the Book of the Air
Painting and Light

We walked into a very shady forest, the sound of birds interlacing, the wind blowing making the trees shake the branches. Nothing strange, this forest looks very very very comfortable and calm.

After a while, we arrived at the place we wanted to visit. There is a ruined castle that already looks mossy, rattan-rotan began to crawl into it. At first I was a little afraid to see this castle, but after the sun hit us and the castle, I was very astonished, my mouth was amazed. How beautiful this place is.

"Feni, Dani let's go in. Maybe there's something inside that could lead us to where Sam is!" I invited Feni and Dani to come inside. Inside the castle is full of littara writing on the walls, but many of his sentences are lost, because it is covered by moss that has eaten some of this beautiful castle.

"Jina! I'll just check in here, you and Feni go somewhere else to check if there's anything we can get. Remember we're out of here at 13:00, we'll set up a tent in front don't linger here" It's 08:00 now. From Dani's explanation, we only have five hours to explore the contents of this castle.

Me and Feni started to go through the parts inside this castle. The atmosphere inside the castle is very inversely proportional to the atmosphere outside it. Spiders roost in the corners of the hallways and rooms, bats hanging in some places, moss everywhere, plus no lighting at all in here! We just put on our cell phone flashlights so we can still see what's going on around.

"Yin....!! I'm scared.....!!" My friend started again! Starting to bring out his whiny nature, it did not bother me at all, only now was not the right time to behave like that.

"Fen....., you don't act like this right now, you want to find Sam right? You need to calm down, we'll face it together, huh?!! "

"Ok Jina, let's find something here!!, SAMMM.... WAIT FOR US" I was shocked by Feni who was speaking so loudly at the end of his sentence, it made his voice echo.

"Ssuut.... Fen!! Don't be over excited, hahaha" There's-there's just the behavior of my friend this one, the face is beautiful, the body is sexy, but the behavior exceeds the new smart elementary school kid wiping his snot.

We both got further and further inside, until we stopped in front of a painting. The painting depicts a woman wearing Bugis traditional clothes complete with accessories typical Bugis tribe. Fortunately under the painting there is a description of the lukisa. It is written that this woman danced to reject the reinforcements caused by the goddess Gayatri.

"Quick photo Fen!" I told Feni to take a picture of the painting. When Feni took the photo, it turned out that Feni's cell phone flash was on, I suddenly saw a flashback when Feni's cell phone light was flashing in the painting.

...*** FLASH ***...

"Run all..... Run.....!!" Everyone seemed to be panicking and running around. I'm confused what's going on here! Everything looks chaotic, houses are burning everywhere, lots of bodies of little children are lying in the street, really terrible.

"Mother.... Mothers.... " There was a little boy who kept calling his mother in a very soft tone of voice. It was a little boy wearing a Bugis Bodo shirt, extending his hand as if pointing in a direction.

I looked and found out what this boy was pointing at. It turned out that he was pointing to a woman in the painting that we saw inside the castle. It turns out that the face of the woman in the painting and the reality is very different. I saw that the woman's face was painted smiling, but here she was crying and singing while dancing in a heartbreaking gesture.

I'm confused! I'm confused what's going on here, what's causing all this? Why is the woman dancing in a crying state? Why are all the houses on fire? Why are so many children lying on the street? A lot of people are running around here! What the hell is going on here?

Before long, the woman stopped dancing and turned towards me! "He is evil Jina.., you must be careful, look what he has done to us! Haaaaa.....!!! " I immediately flinched back as the woman shouted. At that moment I was back in the present.

...*** BACK TO CURRENT TIME ***...

"Feni!! Let's get out of here, we gotta go see Dani! There's something I know and I have to tell Dani" I got up from my place and pulled Feni's hand out of this place, and headed to Dani's place.

Me and Feni ran up the panting bar, because this place is so big. But a new problem appears, we get lost inside! This place is like a very long labyrinth.

"Jina how is this? We're lost!!" Feni started panicking and tugging at my sleeve, I was actually just as panicked as Feni, but right now I have to calm down and think about how to get out of here.

After looking around, each wall had inscriptions that told different things, there was one inscription that described the shape of this castle. It turned out that the shape of this castle was like two snakes hugging each other. That's why we couldn't find a way out of it, because we just turned it around.

"Feni!!... Follow me, stay by my side let me lead us out of here" I took Feni's phone to light up the road we were going through, but unfortunately the phone battery left a little.

"What the hell is this?! where's my phone outside again!" I forgot to bring my phone because we just hung our bag directly on a branch and rushed in because it was overtaken by time.

"I'm afraid of Jina..!!! " The situation has been very chaotic, because judging from the inscription earlier, the road to the exit is still very far away. Finally Feni's phone died! We can't see anything, it's totally dark!

I started to panic about this situation! I held tightly to Feni's hand hoping that Dani or whoever came in and found us both. "Fen.., you hold my hand we're walking slowly forward" There's no way out here other than to walk forward, even though we can't see anything.

As we walked a few steps, we saw an orange light! It looked like the light produced by a fire, but it was a very small flame. "Jina..., there's a light ahead!! "

"Yes Feni... Let's follow the light" Feni and I were so happy to see the light.

But we felt that the closer we got, the farther the light went, as if we could not meet at one point. "Jina? You don't feel like this light is moving! Like someone's holding it!"

"I also don't know Fen.., because we've been walking, like we can't get close to the light" We both realized that the light is actually moving! But we followed him, there was no hope left but to follow the light.

Suddenly the light turned and disappeared! Me and Feni quickly ran because we were afraid that the light would disappear! When we turned, we reached the exit where Feni and I parted ways with Dani. But strangely! Dani's not here at all.

"Bright... Dani where's Jina?" I'm also confused as to where the boy is going, we can't see what time it is, because Feni's handphone is dead.

"Let's go Fen, we're out to get my phone in the bag." Me and Feni walked out of this castle, so panicked! I forgot for a moment about the painting we saw.

The strange paintings and lights that led me and Feni out of that dark place. What the hell is going on here? Why is it that the more we explore what happened to Sam, the more we are confronted with strange events?.
