Chapter 1: How Everything Began
My name is Mary Katherine, but I go by MK. When my mother passed away, I went to live with my father. He is obsessed with the idea that there is a hidden world with brave warriors that watch over and protect us. At that moment, I thought the idea was kind of silly, so I sadly decided to leave him. But then, something…magical happened. Something that changed my perception of life. Something that made me believe. I caught a small, really small pod, which a small woman gave to me. When I got it in my hands, I got shrunk, two inches tall. The woman was a queen. Queen Tara. She passed away after telling me that I had to take the pod to Nim Galuu. There's where all began.
I met many characters in my adventure. Ronin, he was the Leaf men's General. Ronin helped me to save the pod. He never said it to me, but I knew he was in love with Tara. Mub and Grub, a slug and a snail. They were the ones who took care of the pod. Grub wanted to be a leaf man, which he did at the end. And Mub…well, he has a crush on me, which is really awkward. Apart from that, he's really funny. Nim Galuu, he helped us to know what to do to save the life of the forest with the help of the scrolls, which were situated in the rings of knowledge. Mandrake, this guy was the leader of the Boggans, who wanted to destroy the forest. Don't worry, at the end, this bad guy and his troop were defeated by the leaf men, and with the big help of my dad, who had a normal size. Last, but not the least, is the handsome, really handsome Nod. Ahh, Nod. At first, I thought he was an idiot, a guy who only thought about himself and himself. As I spent more time with him I noticed that he just was sad because of his dad, who died in a Boggan attack. Ronin took care of him since that.
When the pod grew in Moonhaven, the forest was safe and a new queen was crowned, it was time to return home.
The new Queen was making me big again, but I didn't had time to tell Nod what I felt for him. I was elevating, when Nod took me. I wanted to stay there, but also I wanted to go with my dad. The last words I said to him where "Put your arms around me". Then he hugged me. After that, we separated a little, and without caring about the ones that were watching us, we both kissed. It was so…perfect. It felt so good. We separate again, but it was time to go. He caressed my hand once more. He smiled to me. I smiled to him. In a few seconds I had a normal size. When I saw my dad, I hugged him. I missed him a lot.
Since that epic adventure, that happened six months ago, I live with him and help him with his work about leaf men, boggans and magic. I also have video chat with Nod like most of the time. It is awesome, we talk about our lives and cool stuff, but there are days in which this is ruined by Mub, who is always bothering him and telling that he has no opportunity with me and things like that.
I admit it. My life is great now. But there are times when I think about Nod. I mean, we can't have a good and normal relationship because he is a leaf men and…I'm a stomper. We even hadn't admitted officially that we like each other. That makes me feel sad.
I love living here with my dad, far from the noisy and polluted city. But since my visit to the forest, I'm not the same anymore, I keep thinking about hummingbirds, magic, adventure, action and the guy I like. These thoughts are always living in my mind.
Sometimes… I just want to… return to Moonhaven.
