Chapter SIX
Woah! Chapter Six already? YES!
Oh, by the way, please review. I love reviews. Review and I will try to write faster. Unless I have piles of homework. So, enjoy this next chapter, for it's about the tour. Pay attention, or you'll find yourself hopelessly lost... :)
Chapter Six: A Tour Through The Museum
Well, I can tell you, the tour was more than satisfactory. Uncle Kart seemed to know everything about the place.
For your convenience (and mine), I shall divide my description of the tour into four parts, or the four levels.
LEVEL ONE: (the highest floor, strangely) WATER AND WOMENS BEDROOMS
LEVEL TWO: TRAINING ROOMS AND GOD BEDROOMS
LEVEL THREE: EATING AND GODDESS BEDROOMS
LEVEL FOUR: INTERESTING ARTIFACTS/WEAPONS, FENCING COURT AND BOYS BEDROOMS
LEVEL ONE: WATER AND WOMENS BEDROOMS
This, I'm afraid, shall also be divided into sections because there was so much to see:
THE MUDDY LAGOON
THE ALCOHOLIC ROOM (NO KIDS ALLOWED)
MURK LAKE
SLIMY TADPOLE CAGES
SWIMMING POOL OF SLIME
SWIMMING 101 CLASS
OCEAN OF MILK
TRAINING SWIMMING COURSE
WOMENS BEDROOMS
THE MUDDY LAGOON
We entered the door I saw earlier that read THE MUDDY LAGOON. We walked straight into a mud-filled, shallow lagoon. "The name says it all," smiled Uncle Kart. He snickered. I looked and saw, infuriatingly, that he hadn't entered the room.
"Why do we need this room?"
"To teach kids to look before they leap," laughed Uncle Kart. I blushed and scowled.
THE ALCOHOLIC ROOM (NO KIDS ALLOWED)
"No kids allowed," I read.
"Yeah, I just took you here to see if you'd want to go in," smiled Uncle Kart. Pookie tried to nip at me, as if to say, "You naughty girl."
I pulled away from Pookie. "You should put Pookie on a leash," I scowled.
To my surprise, Uncle Kart laughed.
MURK LAKE
"Don't tell me... another muddy lagoon," I guessed.
"Nope," chuckled Uncle Kart.
I opened the door and stepped in. I groaned.
"It's a muddy LAKE!"
I growled at Uncle Kart.
SLIMY TADPOLE CAGES
I opened the door warily and stepped inside. I was surrounded by slimy tadpoles. The wriggling, disgusting creatures swam around in water-filled cages. Suddenly, the door closed behind me! I looked around. Uncle Kart was nowhere to be seen. I scowled. He had gone too far this time. "LET ME OUT!" I screamed.
"No," laughed a familiar voice. It was my teacher, the one Brahma had called Rudra! I looked around. There was a strangled noise, and the door opened. "Just a shadow," Uncle Kart explained. "Not the real thing but can still affect things. I tied it to the wall. Rudra won't have a shadow for long."
SWIMMING POOL OF SLIME
"You're not tricking me in there," I protested.
"It's not really made of slime," he said. "It's only water with green food coloring." I decided to trust him. But just this once. I opened the door and stepped in. "With a couple of slimy eels all around!" he added. I shrieked and jumped out of the water, shivering.
SWIMMING 101 CLASS
"Don't go in there," advised Uncle Kart.
"I'm going in. I can't trust you," I scowled. I walked in and a water gun shot water all over, especially in my eyes.
"Told you so!" called Uncle Kart.
OCEAN OF MILK
"I've already been in here," I explained.
"OK," said Uncle Kart.
So we skipped the Ocean of Milk.
TRAINING SWIMMING COURSE
"You'll see inside there tomorrow, but we want it to be a surprise," whispered Uncle Kart. I figured I didn't know whether to trust him or not, so better safe than sorry...
WOMENS BEDROOMS
"I know about this place," I laughed.
"I know. So it's time to explore Level Two!" he laughed.
LEVEL TWO: TRAINING ROOMS AND GOD BEDROOMS
This was very short, because we weren't allowed to go into the God Bedrooms and the training rooms were off-limits until tomorrow. But I did learn the names of the training places. They include:
HALL OF HORRORS
CLIMBING WALL
FENCING CLUB
MARBLES CLUB (Which sounded suspiciously normal)
AND OTHER TERRIBLE NAMES THAT I DON'T YET WISH TO MENTION
LEVEL THREE: EATING AND GODDESS BEDROOMS
So, there were places for eating! There were:
KITCHEN
BREAKFAST DINER
LUNCH CAFE
ITALIAN DINNER
INDIA DINNER
INDIANA DINNER
SNACK STORAGE
PANTRY
LEVEL FOUR: INTERESTING ARTIFACTS/WEAPONS, FENCING COURT AND BOYS BEDROOMS
This place also needs to be divided into sections. Strange, huh?
WEAPONRY
ANIMALS OF WORSHIP
MAGIC MIRRORS
OTHER MAGIC ITEMS
OTHER NONMAGIC ITEMS
FENCING COURT
BOYS BEDROOMS
WEAPONRY
Uncle Kart told me I was not to see the weaponry until training tomorrow. Apparently training required weapons. I protested but to no avail (Just kidding, I'm not too fond of weapons).
ANIMALS OF WORSHIP
Again, Uncle Kart told me I wasn't allowed in because the animals were being fed, but I could go after the rest of the tour.
MAGIC MIRRORS
This room was completely empty.
OTHER MAGIC ITEMS
Not allowed in.
OTHER NONMAGIC ITEMS
Not allowed in.
FENCING COURT
I went and examined it. I was automatically locked in.
"Uh, Uncle Kart? I think that shadow's back..."
This one wasn't really like a chapter, but a lot of funny short sections. I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless.
