I'm an adventurer so I like adventures. Today, I'm all by myself traveling the Mt. Banahaw. Le walking across the darkness...


Me:    *whistle

Me:    *whistle *whistle

Me:    *whistle * whistle *whistle


*PSt - An anonymous call.


Me:    Who's that?


*PSt - An anonymous call again.


Me:    ???


*PSSSSSt - An anonymous call again and again.


Me:    *angry


*bOOOOO - An unknown creature appeared.. And he's sitting on a tree?


Me:    Aah!

Kapre:    :)

Me:    What are you?

Kapre:    Come to my place little lady.

Me:    Why?

Kapre:    If you want to see a paradise then come to my place.


*AirBreezesHardly - Suddenly, the pathway gone. Now I'm lost.


Me:    What?

Kapre:    I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid.

Me:    *amazed

Kapre:    Now come to my place little lady.

Me:    But I'm already in a world that's shining, shimmering, splendid.

Kapre:    But mine is.. A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view.

Me:    *amazed *amazed


Then I felt hypnotized... But I still recognize the smell of his tobacco - yuck!


Me:    Y-y-ye... (probably saying yes)


...I was interrupted.


Kapre:    Hey!

Me:    What?

Kapre:    Why you're wearing a Justin Bieber shirt? Take it off!

Me:    Why so serious?

Kapre:    Take it off or Ill blow you down!

Me:    Like oh why baby, baby, baby, baby ohhh why?

Kapre:    Take your shirt off! Na na na na na Take your shirt off!

Me:    ?

Me taking off the shirt and wearing it again in reverse so he couldn't see JB's face. I don't want to take it off completely - like it's eeew to see me half naked.

Me:    Is it okay with you? Like this?

Kapre:    Nooooooooooooooo!

Me:    ?


After that long "Nooooooooooooooo!" of him, the pathway appears again and I no longer see that filthy big man.



*TheEnd


This is another literature entry for the Myths and legends Contest Opened of Curvy-tribal... This is about Kapre, a mythical creature by many folklores of the Philippines.

Kapres are dwelling in big trees like acacias, mangoes, bamboo and banyan or balete. The Kapre is wearing the indigenous Northern Philippine loincloth known as bahag, and often wears a belt which gives the kapre the ability to be invisible to humans. They also love to play pranks on people, frequently making travelers become disoriented and lose their way in the mountains or in the woods. They are also believed to have the ability to confuse people even in their own familiar surroundings; for instance, someone who forgets that they are in their own garden or home is said to have been tricked by a Kapre. Reports of experiencing Kapre enchantment include that of witnessing rustling tree branches, even if the wind is not strong. If ever you encountered one of these, all you need to do is to be friendly and nice. If he asks something, give it but try to deceive him so you won't be in trouble. If ever you're a traveler and you get lost, you just need to wear your clothes in reverse to find your way back again.

You can find relevant information about this creature by reading thru this -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapre ... And photo kapre with little girl by :iconmau-i:.
