Sixty of us found ourselves confined in a small room, tightly packed together, the sultry blackness enveloping us. The weight of the liquid earth above pressed down, causing the roof to groan in protest. We, the travelers from distant realms, were uneasy with this forced intimacy, our gazes vacant as we listened to the mountain unleashing its furious voice.

The taste of deep earth lingered in my mouth, its hot and rancid breath permeating the cramped space, seeping into my being. I felt myself melting away, as if transported back to a time before memory, when I awaited my emergence in the warm darkness of my mother's womb. Now, in this different womb, equally warm and dark, I awaited my escape. I shall not die.

The feeble light from a dimmed sun cast a yellow hue upon the desolate landscape, once vibrant and now blackened, dotted with the skeletal remains of the once lush forest. The earth trembled relentlessly, its vibrations shaking the very ground beneath our feet. Entire villages had vanished, and the majestic terraces we had embarked upon an arduous journey to witness were no more than a memory. Tales of the eruption circulated and grew with each retelling. We heard stories of premonitions—a ghostly canoe drifting across the lake and prophetic warnings from a centenarian holy man who, it seemed, had vanished into thin air.

How long had I been imprisoned in this suffocating space? Day and night melded into one, as six spirits stood watch over me. With weathered hands, I explored the contours of my face, etched and pitted by the passage of years. These hands had bestowed blessings and curses alike. The now-chilly air bit deep into my skin, prompting me to wrap my tattered rug tightly around my shivering form.

Our meager meals consisted of biscuits dipped in brandy, a feeble attempt to find solace in the face of uncertainty. Some of us, spurred by newfound bravery, ventured outside, only to hastily retreat as the earth quivered beneath our feet. Others, bolder still, ventured forth and never returned.

The fury of the earth's upheaval no longer surprised me. The signs had been there all along—the relentless fluctuations of the lake and land, the spectral canoe gliding through morning mists. We deserved this.
