Dear Diary
I'm going to the forest again because it's a full moon and we all think somethings going to be revealed. If I never come back, I love you mum!
I open my door, grab the keys and leave the house for the second time now. I keep walking until I get to the gate , hold my breathe and go under the bush ending up on the other side. I walk down the beautiful path again as it still takes my breath away each time. As I am walking into the bigger patch of land I see the hole in the trees but a cloud was covering the moon. I wait and wait and wait but the cloud doesn't shift. I was about to walk back and it finally moves! It was like a wonderful dream as I watched amazing small red mushrooms form where the light hit the green grass. In the centre of the circle was a delicate small blue sparkling flower. I went to step closer and a petal fell off so I delicately picked it up and placed it in my palm. "what the?" I said . it just evaporated in my hand and there were small blue sparkles elevating from my palm. All of a sudden the area in the mushroom circle vanished and was replaced with sparkling blue water! I was so confused! I went to step closer but slipped! I fell in head first and started to panic. When I finally got out of the water I wasn't were I fell in. I was in a forest! Rather beautifully, Small fireflies lit up the entire forest and started leading me closer and closer to a big oak tree. I jumped back in shock as its branches started moving and randomly started growing 5 brown leather books. They had a picture of a droplet of water, a flame, some wind, a tree and the moon. "What do I do?" I whispered to my self. I don't know why but I firefly started bussing I my ear.
"Hello, my name is Steph. Don't be alarmed!" said the firefly
"ahhh " I screamed but decided to carry on listening.
" these are the element books and you get to choose which one you want out of water, wind, fire and earth. All you have to do is accept the sharp twig oak will give you, prick your finger and put your finger print in the book!" she whispered into my ear. "oh you will have to come every night to be able to learn the best you can and can bring 2 friend but only 2 friends.
"wow this is so cool!" I say
Oak passes me a sharp twig and I prick my finger. "ow!" I mumble under my breath
I open the water book and see what must be hundreds of finger prints. I push my finger onto the page and my name appeared on the page! As this happens I am startled by the cheers and claps behind me. I turn around to see hundreds of people jumping down from trees.
"see there just like you now!" Steph said quietly in my ear. " oh and do the same thing to the moon book. It allows you to replicate the moon in the sky so you can come here anytime you like."
"ok." I said "this I soooo cool!"
" oh and one more thing, the way you learn things is to but your hand on Oak and he will teach you things about your element. He will also give you a sapling to plant and that sapling, after the first thing you learn, will give you a small pet that you desire that will sit on your shoulder. Have fun!" she said as she flew away.
I hesitantly but my hand on oak and felt a rush of energy. I looked down and saw my veins start to glow yellow gold as it travelled to my head. After around 10 seconds it stopped and I felt like I knew things. I opened my hand, tensed my fingers and to my amazement, a small water bubble formed in my hand . It was the best thing in the world! I carried on 2 more times until I could make single droplets and massive bubbles that I could get in and travel!
"hey Flo." Steph said. "how have you been getting on?"
"Fine thanks, This is amazing!" I said still in shock that I could actually do these things.
"I think you should plant your sapling and chose your pet." Steph said
"ok lets go" I said following Steph with my sapling in my hand.
I plant my tree and ask Steph what to do next.
"think of an animal in your head and it will appear on your shoulder!" she said
So I did what she said ad to my amazement a small baby turtle appeared on my shoulder!
"I think I should be off now but I will be back every night and on the next full moon I'm going to bring my friends Becs an Liv!" I said still exited.
"ok I look forward to seeing you and them later on, by Flo" She said kindly
"Bye Steph!" I said jumping into the pool of magic water.
