"Riia, Riia!!!"

All good friends of Riia became so worried after they woke up and realized about Riia's mysterious disappear. They went to search for her around their camping area but there they couldn't find her. They found only a drawing of scary drawing of a bird she used to show them before. They decided to go farther to find her. 

"Riia... Riia! Where are you, Riia?" the young four students kept shouting for their friend loudly with great worry. 

Their shouting voice was heard by Black Swan Prince who has stayed awake for whole night, lending his wings to cover for the little girl as blanket or wall to make her sleep comfortably... 

"Riia....." he murmured that name then looked at the human's face who he has saved her life last night. 

"Is it you? Your name is Riia? It must be you. What a beautiful human name..." he smiled unconsciously just to know her name.

Prince V moved his right wing to pat her head. 

"Riia, I've got to go. Don't walk randomly alone again! This forest is dangerous for a little girl like you." he emotionally said goodbye to her.

He spent another long moment to look at the lovely girl before he widened his wings and flew back to cave... He actually didn't want to leave her yet. 

.....

"Riia, Riia..."

Riia's friends finally found her lying on the ground near a cave. 

"Riia! Wake up!" everyone became panic. 

"Don't scare me, Riia! Wake up!"

"Hik hik Riia!!!"

They shook her body and called her worriedly and finally Riia opened her eyes. 

"Riia, you woke up now? Thanks God!"

Everyone became a bit relieved.

Riia touched her head softly as she felt blanked and heavy.

Her friends helped her to get up to sit. 

"How are you feeling now?" a friend asked. 

Riia thought for a while then replied... "I feel a bit hangover." she faced down, sickly. 

A friend held her to help her sit in balance while another one helped massaging her back.

"Why are you here, Riia?" the male friend asked. 

Riia started recalling her memory last night. She remembered everything about hearing a strange voice that made she walked unconsciously to here and ended up meeting a lion... However she decided to keep it in secret from her friends. 

"Emmm..... You know I'm a heavy sleep walking person. I guess I slept walk and ended up sleeping here for the whole night." she made up a story. 

Her friends frowned, looking at each other as they have never heard Riia is a heavy sleep walking person like she is telling right now. 

"Alright but let's leave now and take Riia to hospital! Let's finish our trip right here." the older friend suggested. 

Everyone nodded to agree... Only Riia, she quickly rejected. "No, I'm fine. Please don't waste our time coming all the way because of my sleep walking incident. I'm gonna be fine after taking a short nap."

Everyone didn't want to make Riia overwork but they know Riia will insist to do what she wants so they agreed to stay here for one more night as their original plan.

They helped Riia to stand up, intending to walk back to their camping place back. 

Suddenly... 

"Oh Riia, what is on your hair!" a friend saw something on her head. She picked it to show her. 

"Oh a feather? What is this black feather?" 

Everyone curiously looked at the silky smooth feather. 

Riia snatched it from her friend and looked at it in detail. She felt familiar. She suddenly turned to look at the cave. 

"What's up, Riia?" 

Everyone stunned with Riia's reaction. 

Riia kept looking at the cave in focus and became more curious of what could be inside. She unconsciously walked slowly, heading to the entrance of the cave.

Prince V who has been hiding watching the humans behind the entrance quickly moved when she came closer like this. His heartbeat went fast due to fear to be seen by many humans. 

Riia almost walked in the cave but her male friend suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her backwards. 

Riia came back to herself. 

"Riia, don't go near there. It looks so dark and dangerous. Let's go back to our camp!" he said then all other friends came to take Riia from the entrance of that cave too... They left back to their camp.

Prince V sighed in relief after these humans didn't enter the cave or they would see him. He flew deeper to the cave. 

-----

Riia took rest alone inside the tent. She pretended to sleep when her friends around but when they left, she woke up and kept looking at the strange feather...

"What bird does this feather belong to? Why did it stuck on my head? It looks so similar....." Riia thought about the black swan in the tale she has come here for.

For the whole day, she just thought about it. It made her want to go into that cave for some reasons. 

.....

Riia came out for night party with her friends. They ate, sang and talked about random topic happily together.

Until... 

"Riia, by the way! Hey, this!" a friend took out the drawing of scary bird they found near their tent this morning. 

Riia startled.

"Why did you bring it here too? I told you right it's so scary. I was so shocked this morning. I'm really scared of it, Riia. Can I burn it?" that friend asked. 

Riia quickly ran to take the drawing from her fri
