The plane was a cargo plane that was flying low in an area located in the northern region. There are only pilots and co-pilot inside the Pilatus PC-12.
They had already circled the same path twice. Something had been causing the plane to lose its GPS direction since they had entered the misty cloud at the coordinates they had reported to the transmitting tower last time.
"James, are you sure?" asked the co-pilot.
James caught a glimpse of Jack, but then turned his attention back to the steering wheel.
"James?"
He still didn't care. The plane had just passed through a mountainous region.
"OMG!" said James.
"What is it-?
"I think I know the area—" James said.
"Where are we?" however, there was no answer from James.
Jack looked at his friend with a slightly irritated look.
"That's up to you," Jack snorted in annoyance at the lack of response.
"Can't you shut up, Jack. I'm concentrating," now James who sounded annoyed because he felt his friend was too noisy.
Unknowingly, the plane began to enter a mysterious fog that was almost the same as the fog they had passed before. However, this time the fog felt a little different.
The plane slowly split the cloud of fog that seemed to be getting more and more clustered. Meanwhile, it was almost evening.
"Oh, damn—"
"What's the matter, James?"
"I have to land."
Not finding any runway locations, James decided to land on a lake. The old pilot was indeed an expert in piloting a plane.
They had now landed very gently on the surface of the lake. It wasn't far from the shore, so James thought he could pull the plane over to the side later.
"Wait, James," Jack patted his friend on the shoulder, "look at that!" he cried, pointing to the edge of the lake.
"What is it?"
"Look!"
"OMG!"
"—what creatures are they?"
In front of them is now waiting for a line of strange creatures. Their bodies were almost naked, resembling humans with much smaller and longer stomachs and goat—like heads—each holding a spear with a blazing fire at the end.
The two men were confused.
"What should we do, James?"
"You shut up, Jack, let them move, first!"
James signaled his friend not to act rashly. Shooting at a herd of strange creatures blindly, for example.
"James—" Jack sounded impatient.
"Please don't make any moves that could harm us, Jack."
Regrettably, Jack didn't listen to his friend's advice. The panicked man suddenly stood on top of the plane and started aiming.
"Bang Bang bang!" gunshots could be heard filling the crater.
"You are crazy!"
Jack's shot made the line of creatures disappear and vanish upwards, nothing left. For a moment they looked like aurorae turning to ashes in the air.
James did not stay still, he immediately started the engine as best he could. Without difficulty, the old airplane engine roared.
"Oh, thank you, God," James said, and the plane quickly turned around, with its back to the edge of the lake.
The head of the plane gradually rose to the top and began to balance the body on the surface of the lake. However, unlucky, the sky instantly darkened.
But no, the plane turned out to be trapped under a black membrane that ran like a giant dome. There is no way out!
James was still trying to find a gap to penetrate the strange membrane, but to no avail. He found nothing while the lake suddenly turned into a giant well and the water in it suddenly fell down without a break.
Everything rumbled.
The plane was also pulled down. After the lake water was exhausted without remaining, then a magnificent city appeared below.
It's a very big city!
James and Jack were so stunned that they didn't notice when a strangely modeled alien plane came and grabbed their body.
The hexagon plane which served as the clamp immediately lifted their plane to a place. It looks like it's the courtyard of a kingdom.
When they woke up, James and Jack were already standing in front of a giant gate with two tall pillars and buds of gold and red rubies.
"Welcome, gentlemen," greeted one of the bodyguards who came forward to the front of the plane that James and Jack were on.
James and Jack looked at each other. Being greeted so kindly like that, the two of them descended feeling somewhat awkward.
"Jack—" James looked at his friend.
Jack's face now looked similar to the bodyguard who had just greeted them. Likewise with James, the heads of the two men looked more like goats than humans.
"I think we're home now, Jack," said James.
Jack didn't say anything, he just gulped, especially when dozens of goats flocked to them and cheered.
"Oh, God, help us," Jack said in his mind, cuz for God sake, they actually have no idea at all where they are.[]
Fascinating tale @mosin-nagant. This is quite a predicament for our fine young pilots. Goat-headed human beings indeed. Is this some type of horror story wrapped up in a Bermuda triangle-esq tale? !PIZZA
Yes, I think the story will indeed fit into a compilation of horror tales around bermuda. Thank you for reading it. We apologize for any inconvenience.
haha no inconvenience, I just found it interesting :-)

A round of applause for originality. Few readers would anticipate the conclusion. You build tension well, and you make all of us feel irritated with Jack. Fortunately, the goat people don't seem to be vengeful. Unless, that is, one considers being turned into a goat a vengeful outcome.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. It is unique, and it certainly holds the reader's attention. We appreciate very much that you engage with other writers.
Thank you so much for rating it as an originality. Very fun. Thanks for your curation. And I hope James and Jack are fine.
Whoa, this is like a strange dream! I am truly amazed by your imagination, @mosin-nagant. This story is well-told and really fun to read. Nice work!
Yes, I think so too. James and Jack are trapped in a place filled with strange creatures. I don't think they will return to the real world. I think they brought something in the plane's cargo.
