Dear Diary.
My name is Kapuyt En.
Today is the 1st day of sharing my life with others.
I didn't go to school today because my mother, with her teary eyes, believed my story of being scabies, or she must have gotten tired of my excuses. I'm not someone who can lie. No, I'm feeling a little itchy these days, so that's not a lie. I seem to have convinced myself of my own excuse. Anyway, today we will go with you to find the aryun (blood) ruby. I call it kapuyt. No, not because it's my name, but because I love blue, but to find it, we need to go to the town of Tereyin, which is 4 kilometers away from me and 1900 meters underground. As far as I learned, it was a small settlement known as the town of sins.It was a place where sweat (non-humans) lived and where they deceived most people with jewels and those who left did not come back. or they don't want to come. It bothers me that I'm so close to this place and don't know anything about it. I know you have questions in your mind, and so do I. Today I will beg my mother for the last time to learn this legend. He never told me because he knew how curious and stupid I was. He's trying to protect me. Where I live is quite far from the city. There is no one else but us and the family whose children are my best friends. I know you're trying to keep me safe. I think this came down to me with so much anxiety and fear because my brother died. I don't remember my brother much. He doesn't talk about it much.Unlike me, he would talk to me about his blonde hair, his blue eyes with the most beautiful shade in the world, his white skin, and how his smile prolongs his life, whereas I have hair as black as night and pale and white skin. I don't know the color of my eyes or whether I am beautiful, but I know how important and beautiful I am to my mother. She always told me how much she loved my brother and me. And as far as I remember, the only thing he told me before he burst into tears was that while my brother was playing in the garden, my mother saw something coming from the forest, too thick and too tall to be a human, embrace her and run away. She started running after him.Because she was pregnant with me at that time, she couldn't go any further due to her pain and collapsed, and she had to return with all her might to protect me. He waited until the evening for my father to return because he went to the city to sell fruit, but my father did not return that day or the next day...
