"NAULAN" The Mysterious Shire

Journey to the mysterious shire
It was the rainy day afternoon when we had the first journey to naulan falls. Almost 8 kilometers of travelfrom town proper or banwa of Dumalag, we reached Brgy. Conception, the gateway to the mysterious shire. The painful downpour of the rain hitting oue faces and the instinct that we cannot return before nigthfull gave us hesitation not to continue the three-person journey. Listening to the story of a nice old woman who provided us shelter from the heavy rain added are coriosity to see the unknown place. With determination and courage, we continue oue journey taking the risk that is was almost unset.
After walking for almost half an hour on the slippery dike or pilapil, we reached the swapm that leads to Naulan. We tried to walk on the thigh-level waters taking thenrisk that we might get drown because of the unfamiliarity of the way. At some point in our way, we lost some sight of oue guide. Realizing that it was too dangerous for us to go on, we decided to stop over the rocky place near the swamp with hope that are guide might realize that we are not following him anymore. With fear, our minds creep at the thougths of losing our guide and that something might happen to us. The determination and courage we had before were gone and we agreed to go back and continue our journey the next day, hoping that the heavy downpour of the rain might stop.
Early morning the next day, around five o'clock, we again started our journey along the dark road of the banwa. We walked from San Jose to Santa Teresa to fetch our assistant Photojournalist. Our feet were as determined as our hearts to reach Naulan Falls. We never felt tired during our fifteen kilometers walk to Brgy. Conception. After two hours of restles walk on the rocky road, we reach Brgy. Conception. Knowing that the pilapil was still slippery from the other day's heavy rain, we took off our slippers. We continued to walk on the slipper pilapil with our bare feet bleeding from the thorns of makahiya to reach the muddy swamp leading to Naulan Falls. Seeing that the water level of the swamp was thigh-high, we decided to took look for another way instead of walking on it and follow its path with risk of getting ourselves drowned. However, we had not avoided crossing on the muddy swamp eventhough we have found another way. After countless steps on the pilapil and the swamp, we have finally reached Naulan.
