Marky Stories: The Mystery In The Amartel Cave (Part 2)

Aurelio obeyed what he said. He ate. While eating, Aurelio was startled to see snakes crawling towards them. Others are just on the side that suddenly pops out of rocks, through holes in the top of the ground, in trees, and in the grass.

“Do not be afraid. Do not show fear! Just calm down. They are all venomous. When you return to the cave, they will not move. When you have finished eating, come back and I will go with you, ”said the old man.

When Aurelio returned to the cave, he saw the old man lit the candle he had taken. It immediately lit up the dry grass on the rocks. As a result, it ignited loudly and smoked. The awake Japanese soldiers encamped at the camp at the foot of the plume saw the smoke. So, they thought someone was near Amartel. So they hurried up the mountain with a downpour.

Less than 100 Japanese soldiers rushed in and as they crossed the tall grass, they noticed they were passing snakes. That even if they are tempted, they will not be able to walk. They thought the snakes they trampled, slapped, chopped and encountered on the walk were venomous. Importantly, they catch suspected robbers and anti-Japanese protesters.

But, after a while, some of the Japanese who were bitten by the has slowed down. They swelled and suddenly drowned. So, their leader was worried about what was happening.

“Like us, there is a mystery going on here! There is a spiritual force that attacks us. Venomous snakes bite our comrades. Let’s back off, ”said their official who was also swollen at the time. Therefore, the next one ordered them to withdraw.

What happened, the dead Japanese soldiers were picked up by their comrades the next morning. Others can no longer find. One Filipino said that his fellow captives were taking care of their food — that the black magic ended with the soldiers.

He said he did it hard so don't fight anymore. He also said that one or more of the soldiers killed may be loved by the villager or have knowledge of secret knowledge. Therefore, no one has attempted to head further into Amartel or its vicinity.

Meanwhile, in the tunnel the old man was saying to Aurelio, he was amazed to see the end of it. There was a stream there with clear water and fish. There are also trees and vegetable plants. There are animals there that are insects and birds. But, others just now Aurelio saw and he could not figure out what it was and what it was called. Isabel told the two of them to get what they needed to eat. The young man did the things as the old man instructed him.

“We will not be here for three nights. We will come out of here without fear. Because I feel that the Japanese will not last long in our town, ”said the woman.

Out of curiosity, Aurelio returned to the seventh tunnel of the cave. There he witnessed at noon a strange sight. In the creek, he was seen as a submarine, and on the high side of the stacked ground was a glowing vehicle. A blonde car. In addition, he also saw 7 pyramids in another tunnel at the bottom. He also saw a ship there, which suddenly disappeared. When he returned to their home, he met the old man.

“I know you saw something strange in this place. However, do not even tell your girlfriend. There is a reason why you saw that. Only those who are quiet and know how to keep secrets show them. I repeat, do not tell unless someone asks a few times. Answer if he asks 7 times. Even if they go to the cave, they will not see the things we saw, ”said the woman.

Aurelio took to heart what the woman said she knew was mysterious. He did not tell his girlfriend everything he had discovered, except for the vegetables and fruits he had found. A week later, the old man said that the Japanese had surrendered. So the town is free. Aurelio obeyed and he and Isabel went down to the plains. They are happy and eager to be greeted by their loved ones. He also learned that Cenon and Mauricio were alive.

Aurelio said that when the Japanese fled, Isabel and I hid for 40 days in Amartel. However, he did not say anything about the mystery. However, Isabel dared to ask him seven times after they were married in May 1951.

Is there a mystery in Amartel? Isabel said she could not believe why they were staying in the cave even though there were many snakes there. Isabel's father, Ruel, said that the cave was a cave of poisonous snakes — and no one could enter it lightly. Aurelio told the truth. But, the father-in-law did not believe him. Isabel believed him. However, Aurelio's father-in-law told some Sikaayo men about it in the cave. It is said that there may be gold in it and that it is guarded by fairies.

Out of curiosity, seven men decided to go to the cave thinking there was gold. They successfully penetrated inside without a venomous snake bite them. However, a large ball-shaped light hit their face causing their temporary blindness.

Because of what happened, the authorities forbade him to go to the cave because of the danger that could befall him. Grandpa Aurelio wanted to reveal more secrets of the cave, but he decided to keep quiet. In his last statement, the old woman he spoke to and with him in the cave is still alive today and his face has not changed in the last 75 years.
