James: No, now you get inside your room.
Jaanu: Okay I'll go. (*Sneakily stands behind James*)
The man resumed again, " Where did I stopped......Aah here. If you pay close attention to this place, you'll notice pea sized island. Its Deldoroa, located along the Indian Ocean. Back in 8th an Emperor called Bantiyazar came to this island and built a temple in the name of his religious god. Legends say that the Emperor had committed so much sins to gain their properties and administrative power. But soon those souls started to haunt him and his people. So with the advice of elderly people, he decided to dump all the treasures inside an inaccessible place and guard it with powerful guardians. Humongous ships with heavily loaded golds and diamonds were brought to this Island."
James: What happened then ? Continue.
Jack: That's all informations we gathered about that island.
James: So, that means you don't know the full history of that place and you have no evidence whether the theory of gold is real and you are asking us to come that island for a treasure hunt, isn't it ?
Jack: Uh, well not exactly, but if you give us a bit more time we wi-
Jaanu: (*Interupts*) On their way, the Emperor encountered a lots and lots of obstacles. He nearly dropped the idea of taking that gold and diamonds to the Island as so many men died before his eyes. But the guidance of an old saint, he continued his journey with so much pain and worries about the future of his people dragged him towards the island. Some versions of literature says that was the sins committed by him, some says that the spirits of the people who was slaughtered by the Emperor, but the people in the kingdom and the emperor always felt like they were under the surveillance of some kind of external force, watching them, laughing at them, whispering horrible things and how they died during the night times. The people from the kingdom started sending messages to the king through their pet eagles and parrots and informed him about everything happening in the country. So he understood he need to urge before it's late. Finally the emperor reached the island with half of his men while the remaining died on their way. He began building a temple at the top of a active volcano and closed its mouth with the majestic temple. The temple was build with the idea of closing the active valcano's mouth and dumping his fortune inside the temple. That way he thought he would help the tribals to be safe from the eruption. Even today's science couldn't explain how he managed to build a temple above an active volcano. He then dumped all the golds and diamonds into the temple. With the guidance of the tribals and the old saint, he designed a temple that won't even allow air to enter. Feeling disturbed, hearing laughs, cries and having a feeling of under someone's surveillance was inevitable. By labouring the his men and tribals for day and night he finished the temple and dumped the fortunes and when he asked the people to ceal the door tightly and requested the tribal leader to guard the temple. But the saint advised him that the tribals alone wouldn't be enough to stop the greedy humans and he brought some other saints from all around the world. They all together performed some rituals and locked two souls to guard the temple. It is believed that the spirits got trapped inside the temple along with the fortunes and anyone who tried to gain the fortunes would free the spirits. The tribals and the souls where still believed to guard the temple. But at the time of finishing the work, the one by fourth of people died before the emperor's eyes. He passed the his tragic story of losing his people to all the saints and requested them to pass the information to the next generation and never open that temple ever. When the emperor finally rushed back to his place to see his people and family. But all he could see was a group of crazed people roaming around the country. He realized he was too late and eventually died in misery........That's all I know ".
