Episode 21   Jason opened his eyes to a very unusual warmth. The serenity of the woods was very refreshing and there was no painful sensation he would usually feel from the sun's rays. Sitting up, he couldn't understand what was going on. Since the day of his possession, he had become very used to the cold lifeless feeling in his veins, and the constant barrage of information coming to his brain at all times. He stood up in panic. There was no calmness that he always feel and no feeling in the ground. His eyes widen in the realisation " I_i'm free! I'm no longer possessed... I can't believe this." He muttered overwhelmed with joy. He ran about the woods jubilating with no care in the world.

The people that come here with no respect for our culture and with very poor morals_ I don't know how much more the spirits can take."" You worry too much po. There Is nothing polluting the river" Gabriel said. They were watching over the crowd as they stood around the river. It is the time in every afternoon that most people are in expectation for. The time for the caretaker to feed the silver blue fishes that mostly inhabit the river." I fear that there are things to worry about for our sacred river."The hymn of Hinatuan was played and silence befell everyone present. They all pulled out their mobile devices to record the moment. The hymn is like a

A few minutes later, the best friends were on the unrestricted side of the river, splashing water on themselves, swimming about, and playing around the river. Later that afternoon, having exhausted their energy, the girls sat by the stairs at the riverbank, basking in the quiet serenity. “ Uh!
