Waterfall in a Ravine

WIAR Part 6

Lucy felt a rush of air, as the world swirled around her. She screamed, as she was about to hit the water, but the water moved out of the way! Grayson and Lucy continued falling. The two noticed that the tunnel they were falling through was adorned with little crystals. The crystals began to grow larger the deeper they fell, and it seemed as if they were claws, snagging at their shirts. Grayson shouted at the top of his lungs, "How much longer are we gonna fall?" "I've counted 157 seconds to pass the time. There is probably more waiting to come," Shouted Lucy, as she moved her arm away from a very pointy rock.  Suddenly, the ground was visible, and it looked very hard. The pair braced themselves for the impact, but landed on a soft, stretchy cloud instead. "Poof!" went the cloud. "Well, that's convenient." said Grayson. "What is this place?" Gawked Lucy. "That's the place of the Otherkinds. Well, a tunnel to it." Grayson answered. "I still think that's a bad name for them." "Let's hope there aren't any humankins," Lucy snickered. Their eyes adjusted to the darkness, and saw it's real beauty. Crystals lined up against the cave walls, like teeth. They were all shades of blue, pink, and purple, like a water color painting. "It's so nice. Well, the sharpness isn't very nice," commented Lucy, with a relaxed tone. "Yeah," Agreed Grayson. They walked for what seemed like quite a long time. "Finally, you're here!" Praised a shadowy figure coming from the end of the tunnel. "Took you long enough," it added. Lucy gasped. "It's one of those neon monsters!" The figure was closer to them, and they could tell it didn't look very dangerous. "That's a nice thing to say to your new guide. And no, I am not a neon." it glared. "Oh." quietly spoke Lucy. "Well, we'll cast that aside. My name is Speckton! Well, I know your names. From The Queen." Speckton said in one breath. "Huh, I thought she didn't know my name," Grayson said. "Are we going to see her?" Lucy asked. "She's not going to be here for much longer, so we should hurry!" Speckon spoke in a flash. He pointed to the end of the tunnel, and the three ran to the foot of it. It was then when they saw the beauty of it all- the otherkind's city. It had buildings of all sorts of shapes and styles, colors too. There was also a large castle in the back of it all. Most of them looked light blue, however, because of the one, humongous crystal at the top of the giant- even bigger than giant- cave. Crystals covered the ceiling, trying to imitate a sky. The large one was right in the middle of the city, the heart. All the light meant they could see what Speckton really looked like. He was blue, and looked like a gallon of white glitter had been dumped on- "So, you never told me that the monsters were all cartoon animals that stood on two legs," Lucy questioned. "With pants," she added. "How was I supposed to know? She only showed herself, not anyone else," Grayson protested. Speckton interrupted their brief conversation and said, "No time to waste!" Continuing what I was saying, Speckton was specifically a cartoon bear with pants. With lots of glitter. And so, the three scampered off down the path, to the great shining city.
