Chapter 2: Meeting in a Cabin
Step by step he went of as he ventured down the path. Peering through the forest's gloomy shade of trees, he's still determined to find out what is inside. As he passed by, birds started to fly away, one by one. Squirrels and rabbits looked to the stranger who walks on the path and fled away.
"Is there something wrong in here?" CJ asked himself. Thenhe arrived to the place where it was last seen. Walking
with caution, CJ entered a cave, a place he wasn't been before.
"It's too dark in here, maybe if i have something that can lighten my way, I can proceed," he murmured. As he turned about, as if looking for something, he saw a cabin just near the cave. Then he went for that cabin he saw just up ahead.
"I can ask for a torch or something that can produce light, I hope someone is inside," he thought while making his way.
"Is someone there?" he yelled at the house.
Then suddenly, winds howled behind him as he went to reach for the door. Knocking at the door three times, the sound reverberated throughout the forest. The the door opened and CJ was shocked of the coincidence.
"How come did the door opened?" he said.
Then a he entered the cabin, he saw an old man situated in a chair facing the fireplace.
"Greetings lad, it's been a while since someone came to my cabin." the old man said.
"I am Groon by thr way", he added.
" Nice to meet you Mister Groon!" CJ said as he sat on a comfy chair near him.
"So what brings you here lad? do you need some assistance?"Groon questioned with a kind look.
"I came here to ask for some source of light that can lighten the cave just near your house, do you have some?" Cj asked.
"What's your business with such a mysterious, dark cave?" Groon questioned curiously.
" Well, I find it to be interesting and worth to do adventures! Who knows? you might stumble in some kind of treasure or an artifact!" CJ explained.
"Hmm, guess you have a point there, but be careful though, even I myslef haven't entered that cave", Groon warned.
" I wll", CJ said feeling determined.
Groon fiddled around his old wooden chest behind the bookshelf were a pile of books were aligned in ordered. He picked a torch and lightened it through rubbing the stones to create heat. He then handed it over to CJ. CJ then thanked the old man in return. Groon then unrolled a scroll with some instructions written on the passages inside the cave, then instructed CJ what to do. Then he stepped outside the cabin and waved goodbye while the cold breeze blew around him.
