Chapter:27
A flowing water splitted in two, revealing a secret cave behind the waterfall.
Ryuu was jawdropped, he couldn't believe his eyes. Water just splitted in half infront of him. Akiko and Shigeru noticed him and started laughing.
"Aha-ha-ha, I didn't expected to see you getting this shocked. Aramiya-kun, this is of nature, which can even defy it's own rules."
Ryuu was staring at Shigeru in astonishment.
Akiko just giggling standing at the side.
"Aramiya-kun. That cave is the most hidden place from outer world. Even the association doesn't know about it's existence, only I and Akiko know about this cave.
Almost ten years ago, I and Akiko went to explore the mountain to find more herbs for my research.
We were on the other side of the waterfall when suddenl, the land under my feet started to quiver.
I was very weak and incompetent, i couldn't maintain my stability and fell into the flowing water.
Akiko jumped to save me but the flow of water suddenly increased and all our efforts to swim back were futile.
We were on the edge of the cliff of the waterfall, when all my happy moments with Akiko appeared infront of my eyes.
The ten years we spent with each other were the only moment appeared infront of me, that was when i realized my true feeling towards Akiko.
These feeling had became much more than just a friend in those ten years we spent together. That was love.
A mysterious power flowed into me, I held both of her hands tightly, my heart was jumping up and down. The scare of us felling down the cliff was long gone.
I closed my eyes and confessed my feeling to her..... I didn't heard any reply, i was heartbroken but when i opened my eyes, I saw shining smile her face, tears flowing down her face.
My heart stopped at the moment. I was overjoyed, tears of happiness started to flow down my eyes.
She hugged me tightly and we both fell of the cliff smiling, we didn't felt any regrets."
Shigeru was smiling brightly, Ryuu had never saw him smiling so brightly before. He could feel the true happiness in Shigeru's word.
Akiko was just standing there smiling at Shigeru.
"Master, what happened after that. How did the both of you survived?"
Ryuu's eyes were filled with curiosity. Shigeru giggled at him.
"Ha-ha-ha. We both don't know ourself, how the both of us survived, it was like a miracle.
When i opened my eyes, i was in an unknown cave. I had never saw any cave like that before. I was unable to move my limbs.
When i looked around the cave, different sculpture were carved on the walls of the cave but my eyes were only finding Akiko at that time.
I turned my eyes everywhere, when my sight finally landed on Akiko laying beside me. My heart was relieved.
After some time, Akiko also got consciousness and both of us started to explore the cave.
We were shocked when we reached the entrance of the cave. We could see the water flowing down the waterfall getting split in two.
We could never had imagined that there could be mysterious cave behind the waterfall. But there was something about the cave which made us uncomfortable.
The spiritual aura of the cave was unmatchable unparalleled from outside the cave. The cave had it's own spiritual space.
We had never seen the carvings on the walls before, they were all mysterious in themselves.
We followed the carvings on the wall. Some time later, the carvings on the wall started to disappear.
It was like someone else didn't wanted the others to find about the carvings and destroyed them.
We reached the end of the cave, it was dark all over. We couldn't see anything at the distance.
In the center of the darkness, a stone was glowing brightly. We went near the stone, suddenly the stone broke and all the chamber was filled with brightness.
We were shocked when we glanced at the wall behind the stone slab where the glowing stone was present.
It was an old picture of the humans by the side of the Devas, fighting the demons.
Every Atsura were carved on the picture down the big picture.
I and Akiko realized that this cave was related to the Devas and could also help to find out about the lost three Atsuras.
We decided not to inform the association about the cave and had been trying to unsolve the mystery of this cave.
But unfortunately, all our weapons went in vain."
Ryuu was stunned, he could never had thought that the cave having the information about the Devas and Atsuras can be present behind a waterfall.
"Aramiya-kun. Today we brought you here because when i sensed your spiritual aura, it was as the spiritual Aura inside the cave.
Or in other words, that mysterious magic element could be related to the Devas themselves."
The bright smile on Shigeru's face got fade. Ryuu could see how serious Shigeru was, he was like an another person...
