The Mystical Forest

“Woah,” I yelled, so that Aqua, Saturn, and Crypto could hear me over the wind. The wind was growling over our shallow voices.

“Hurry up everyone, before the Aqua blue mist gets into our body,” exclaimed the deep voice of Saturn, “We need to find a closed off area, where the mist can’t get to us.”

The aqua colored mist soon begins to tickles the tops of our mouths before we can find a closed off area. The pigment of the mist reacts with the molecules in our body causing us to grow past our limits of height. Luckily the little bit of mist that seeped into our mouth doesn’t affect our molecules. “Look, over there, that tall and dark tree has a lever on it,” I Yelled as my voice echoed of the tall crispy brown trees. Before the poisonous mist travels down into our internal organs we run to the tree, while Crypto our fastest runner in our group of friends, runs to the lever and pulls it down with us soon behind.

“Hurry, go into the rusty contraption,” exclaimed Saturn. This is a very dangerous idea, thought Saturn.

We run into the rusty contraction and notice a series of buttons, I push the first one I see, which closes the door. I hope that was the right lever, I thought. We soon all felt a uprise in the tree and while not being able to see the tree we can all realize that the mist is already reacting with the tree causing the tree to grow taller.

“What do we do now, I’m scared,” exclaimed Aqua. If this rusty contraption ever stops and if this door ever opens what will happen next, thought the frightened Aqua.

The contraption stops causing us all to bounce up and land hard on our feet, the door opens, having us all looking into the bright and rainbow colored horizon. Saturn steps our first onto the bark looking platform. Next Crypto, then Aqua and I step out onto the small platform, only fitable for a total of seven people.

“Woah,” Aqua yelled. This is so scary, and there isn’t even a rail to hold onto, thought Aqua.

Luckily, up in this atmosphere this high there isn’t much mist, which won’t affect our internal organs.

Looking across from the platform a magical, shining pathway suddenly appears in front of us, I noticed. “Look, straight ahead,” I exclaimed.

The path in front of us was even for narrow than the one we were standing on. Crypto takes the first step onto the new shining path. We all link hands together slowly sliding our feet across the high platform. Due to the wind everyone shakes and wobbles going across.

“Ahhhhh,” screamed Aqua! That was a close one, I almost fell, but I’m lucky that I have friend here to help me, thought Aqua.

“We’re almost there guys,” I exclaimed. I stand between Saturn and Aqua, the third one to the end.

We all take one more step before Saturns’ and Cryptos’ feet slip.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh,” every one yells as our feet slips of the bark textured log.

We were so close to making it to that other door, only one or two more steps away before crypto could have made it. Gladly, I see a blue clear pond appearing in front of us, I thought.

We all fall into the clear pond, making a very loud splash before we fall into a deep, deep slumber. What will happen next, and if everyone survived, I thought. As that particular thought pounded into my head.
