Hello, everyone. The name's Thornstripe. This story of mine occurs in a fantastic place, beautiful and amazing. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm a warrior of the Sierra Travelers Clan. I am a tunnel mapper, which means I take notes of the routes of numerous tunnels among HQ and beneath. Many rumors has been around for centuries including the famous rumor that there's a old New York city beneath the current New York city. Well, I'm here to say that's very true. HQ's tunnels has been leading to the mysterious hidden underground city, and there's always a undiscovered tunnel each day with the help of my tunnel traveler, Violetclaw.
Anyhow, all this work has been the inspiration of a very beloved movie/book series favorite of mine: Arthur and the Invisibles aka 'Minimoys'. I had chosen that world to live within the help of a amazing world, or 'dimension' portal. My day approached upon three weeks later after Patchfire's departure. It was a sunny, shining blue day. I was wearing a rusty red t-shirt with soft blue denim shorts, dark gray sneakers, and my black hair in a headband. I wore my totem necklace, a iron bronze leaf with two polished acorns hole-punched on either side. I was having lunch, figuring that this might be my last human meal since I could be a Minimoy once I get there. I was having my most favorite meal of my lifetime; fried shrimp with ranch, scalloped potatoes, and a dessert of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. After I got finished, I headed ahead to my room, #32. The door opened to reveal bamboo blended with oak hardwood floors, my bed a mattress made-full of soft stuff like sheep's wool, alpaca fur, and deerskin, covered with a knitted blanket of various thread colors such like red, blue, green.
The walls were painted in various scenery. The north wall was painted of the Minimoys' village. The west wall was of Arthur's house with Arthur as human and his family. The east wall was of the garden in giant mode with Arthur as Minimoy and the Minimoy people including Beta, Selenia, and the king. I changed my sneakers to open-toed tan sandals, and cleaned my face at the teardrop-shaped sink in the bathroom which also has a porcelain toilet, stone tub, and the same floor, through the walls was painted a soft bronze, reminiscent of the telescope from the movies.
I headed out of my room, closing the door, and walking excitedly to the portal room where my best friend, Violetclaw awaits with Sunrise and everybody else. I gave generous hugs and handshakes to everyone, with Sunrise being the last one to receive the very best hug I ever gave her. She smiled as we finished hugging, and turned on the portal, which has the rainbow colors swirling as usual. I jumped through to land upon the tunnel, and I looked around to see that it was dark yet I could still see light at the end of the tunnel. Then a flash of gold came near me, almost blinding my eyes, as I slowly blinked to see a golden key.
I widened my eyes. Arthur's telescope key! What the heck is it doing here? I came closer, grabbing it in my right hand when the ground gave out under me, tilting downwards with me sliding down fast, glimpsing that the tunnel quickly became the familiar telescope, and I crashed at the end glass, nothing but solid glass under my hands, yet something's pulling me beyond the telescope, I could tell. I glanced at my hand, holding the key, and I instantly remembered the instructions that Arthur did. I turned to the right side of me, and sure enough, there was the key mechanism, and I leaned ahead, putting the key in, and turned it to the right, then I heard whirring, cranking sounds far up ahead of me. I saw the front glass and the telescope metal closing up to me, and I closed my eyes, feeling awe yet wondrous. I blacked out, hearing nothing except the soft feeling of air against my body.
