My Name is Tayuke. I’m a explorer of the lands of what I’ve come to known as The Mana World! I plan to travel far and wide, and now I want to share my adventures with others! I came across some Cave’s while exploring the Northern Region of what is known as the Forest Region! I share this story, as in the end it became to be situation of finding a way out, purely because of the fact that the region itself hadn’t fully been mapped out…..

I started in Hurnscald, sitting among many other citizens of the world, but finding myself bored, I left and traveled to these caves I’d had discovered before while walking around before! I hadn’t been able to find too much information on these cave’s in town, so I entered with caution! Lucky, when I realized only Cave Snake’s and Bats occupied the caves, I roamed freely through the deserted area, not finding any trace of any other life.

I eventfully found myself lost in the maze of paths, before stumbling out into a small cliff! I felt I was the King of the World, just having made it out without too much trouble, but realizing that I still needed to find my way back into, I stepped back into the cave, my confidence of finding a way out abit higher than before!

I continued to explore the cave’s, and soon came across a blocked entrance to another part of the caves. I couldn’t remove the rock in the way. What’s in there remains a mystery for today: A chest of treasure, a powerful force of evil, or another dead-end? Those questions went though my mind, as I turned around and headed back…

Then finally I came across not only another exit into the open world, but also more human life: I found a young lady called Blossom, collecting flowers and tulips for her father’s business. We had a small chat for abit, talking about how she gets up to such heights going through the cave. She told me she had known the paths of the caves since a little girl, having followed her Dad when he was able to do it before his old age stopped him from making the long walk through the mountains!

Before I headed on my way, I brought a few White Tulips as a symbol of everlasting friendship, something I’ll be sharing with friends! Blossom told me of reaching the highest peak of these cliff’s, when you reach the middle island between two waterfalls, and with her pointing me towards the next cave entrance, I set out determined to reach a summit few had reached and come back to tell the tale!

After much walking for what seemed like forever, walking some paths twice, I did finally reach the summit! The breeze was cool as I stepped onto the middle island, looking down to the land below, and Hurnscald in the distance. Finally I decided to try and find my way back; my adventure was abit easier, myself kinda knowing where I was going. I said hello to Blossom on the way back, before finding myself where I had started!

I returned to Hurnscald, for rest and the good company. Hopeful this will be read by some of the people in town, making my effots not totally in vain. For now, I’m off to hand out my White Tulips, before recovering and heading out again on another adventure! Til then!
Keeping the dream alive!
