Four days passed, and we didn’t go back to the village. Still calamities were befalling the village. Some people there lost hope that we were still alive and suspected that we had died.
“Let’s wait for longer – at least another two days – to see if they are coming. If not, we should all go to search for them. Am I making myself clear?” Chief Vladimir said to the people gathered together.
“Yes,” the people replied.
“Let’s all go home then,” the chief commanded, and they did as he said.
“Let’s wait a little longer for two more days if they are not coming then will all go and search for them, I’m I making myself clear.”
“Yes,” people replied.
“Let’s go home,” Chief Vladimir commanded and they did as he said.
A penny saved is a penny gained, a voice itched my ears.
“Young man, let’s put an end of the problem your village is facing. You and the kids are the heroes of the village. The tragedy your village is facing started when I was there. I was the only person who knew what had cause it,” the old man said.
He added, “When you get back to the village, do not talk to anyone until you have done as I have commanded. You must give the kids the courage to do the same.”
“When you leave here, go straight to the place where your great-grandfather first built a house, and look for a box. Inside it is a book with a page missing. Put your right hand over the missing page and look up to the heavens,” he instructed.
The rock shook violently, and suddenly we found ourselves back near our village. I told the children to be quiet, and to do just as the old man had instructed us. We completed the job.
As I stood with my hand over the missing page of the book, so we saw that Chief Vladimir was gathering people together to go search for our disappearance. But then, one of the women saw us.
They ran towards us with great joy. We were in shock. We told them that we had found the old man and had done as he had instructed. The danger was passed.
Everyone cheered and celebrated. The chief danced a lot. We were the heroes who lifted the spell.
