Chapter 1 Leaving
Ever since I was five years old, I always dreamed about going to the magical underground world called Slugterra. It's what my first goal was when I became an adult. My mother would always tell me fairytale stories about it and would often tell me that we would go there and do all sorts of things together. And we would even get our own slugs and become legendary heroes…but unfortunately those plans were cancelled when I turned ten. My mother was diagnosed with blood cancer and would only have a six percent chance of living. I was so distraught and so heartbroken by that news that I cried every night but I made sure to be right by her side everyday and every night. And when her days were numbered, I made sure to take good care of her. But the day she died, was the same day she told me that she wouldn't be able to make it with me to Slugterra. But with all of with my support I told her to stay strong and to keep fighting the cancer in her blood.
The last thing she said to me was "trinity, mommy loves you very much, and I'm so sorry I let you down. But just remember, mommy will always love you no matter if I'm dead or alive. But if you do still plan to go to Slugterra, just note this, you can't not until your 15th birthday. Yes that's a long time but it'll give you some time to be prepared for the dangers hidden beneath it. But just know this, someone who will be your age will come to your aid to help you become a hero. And most of all, that someone will be more than your friend." She paused for a minute to let out a hoarse cough. "He will guide you, he will love you, he will take care of you." Of course at that age I didn't know who she was talking about. But then the only person who came in mind was my childhood friend Eli Shane who I haven't seen for almost four years since him and his dad moved away. So I never knew what he was up to. Before I could ask my mother who she was talking about, she had already fallen asleep. So I decided not to push her around with questions and let her sleep.
Fast forward to now, I'm now fifteen years old and I had just finished packing my stuff up. I have my infurnes slug blaze who has kept her eyes on me since my mom passed. I've been living with my grandma since she was the only family member who needed to look out for me. She knew that I was going to Slugterra so I made sure not to leave without saying goodbye. After I got my bag ready, blaze hopped on my shoulder and gave me a sweet chirp. I looked at her. "yeah blaze, I'm ready. " I said. She smiled again and nuzzled my neck. I giggled and nuzzled her back. She was a total sweetheart, I loved her like she was my own child. So with everything set up, I walked out of my room and walked to my grandma's room. I walked inside, she was walking around in paces like she was scared out of her mind.
I walked over and gave her a small hug. "Grandma, it's ok. I'll be fine with blaze." I said. She immediately hugged me back, I could feel her trembling hard because of the worry she had. I pulled back to look at her. "i'll be back soon to visit. Just relax alright? " she nodded and started to play with my hair. "just be careful sweetie, you never know what's down there." I smiled slightly. "don't worry I'll be fine I promise." I assured her. "I love you grandma." We shared one last hug before letting go and walking to the front door. I walked outside with blaze on my shoulder. But before I could walk away, I looked at my house one last time before smiling and wiping some tears. "goodbye." I whispered.
And with that, I walked away from my old home, ready to head for Slugterra.
