(SNORING)

That was me, Juanna, sleeping.

I'm a curious girl.

A noise from the ceiling woke me.

I'm inside a room.

"It's very dark here.", I said.

Light came from nowhere.

Since there's more light, I saw a door.

I entered it.

I know why I did it.

I'm curious.

When I opened it, I saw a chute.

It was golden.

I slid down.

Just curious.

After sliding down, I saw a sheperd w/ his sheep.

We had a chat.

It was about why I came to this land.

It goes a lot like this:

Sheperd: Hi there. What brings you to the Land of Golden Species?

Juanna: Oh. No wonder your sheep are golden brown.

Sheperd: Ya, they are. So, what brings you here?

Juanna: I'm just a curious girl.

Sheperd: ....

Juanna: What's the matter?

Sam ( a.k.a. the sheperd ) told me to go to his house, immediately. He was worried when I just said "I'm just curious". He herded his sheep in the middle pen. Sam went inside the house to join me. Our chat continued.

Juanna: Why were you worried when I said those words?

Sam: In the Land of Golden Species, curious people are to be sent away.

Juanna: Your are going to sent me away? :(

Sam: No, actually, I won't.

Juanna: How can I,a curious person, avoid people around me who won't allow curious people to go around the place?

Sam: Well, I know ONE way.

Juanna: What is it?

Sam: I---It's meeting the Guardian of Golden Species. It's a golden dove. It's very forgiving. Just don't abuse him.

Juanna: What's his name?

Sam: His name is Arizzona.

Juanna: ....

Sam: What's wrong?

Juanna: Well, you said meeting Arizzona is a good thing. But how can I go to him w/o being captured by guards (or people) ?

Sam: Stay here. I'll get something at the basement.

Sam went to the basement. Then, he returned w/ a pouch of yellow, sparkly dust.

Juanna: Ooh. Sparkly!

Sam: Ya, it is. Close your eyes and I'll sprinkle it to you.

I closed my eyes as he sprinkled the dust around me. It was tickly.

Sam: Open your eyes now.

I opened them. I'm shocked what I looked like right now. I--I look like a--a FIREBIRD! A golden one. Hey! It's the land of GOLDEN species! This was just the beginning of a complicated adventure.
