The village was accumulated at the caves entrance. Where all the sacrificial brides were sent. There was a little stream that had a one way flow to the inside. The brides were ties on banana tree rafts. Their bodies went in with the flow.
The boy just stepped on his lands.
It was vibrating with the villagers cowardly chants.
He made his was in the crowd. Calling loudly unto his beloved.
But she was blind folded, gagged and tied along with another maiden. Only silent tears fell from her eyes as she heard his voice.
He pushed everybody, making his way to the opening. He saw the two rafts float inside, just the moment he arrrived.
He jumped and swam after her to everyone's utter dismay and surprise.
None had ever come back from the cave who went in. So everyone shook their heads
