The Magic Crystals

Chapter 3: A New World

Inside the antique box is another compartment, which seems to be locked.
A special box would not be so easy to get unless Grandma is almost trying to get me discover this 'secret door' and what's behind it.
I run into the kitchen, quickly but quietly towards the magic door.
I insert the key into the lock on the door and turn it.
I open it
I take my first step into this 'secret door'.
Suddenly a bright light blinds my eyes.

**********************************************************************************
I open them in confusion and look around.
The door must be a secret portal because it looks like I am in the forest at the edge of our garden.
What on earth?
This forest almost seems more magical than the one at our house.
All the leaves are a lush green colour and they sparkle in the glare of the sun.
The sky is a brilliant blue, which it never usually is.
The ground is litter free and is filled with lush grass and beautiful, wet dirt.
There has got to be something strange about this forest.
For sure.
I feel like there is a magnetic force pulling me closer into the forest.
When I turn the opposite way, ready to go home I start to feel light headed and dizzy, so I decide to stick with following the magnetic force.
The light headed and dizzy feeling starts to go away and I feel much better.
By now I can't even see the door anymore because I am so far into the forest.
On the ground a little path starts to form.
I keep on following it until the path stops.
'I wonder why it has stopped' I think to myself
What on earth could it be?

                                                     **********************************************************************************
I look down to the ground a spot something, a burrow.
What is a burrow doing in the middle of a forest?
My instincts tell me to keep on going.
So I do.
I get down onto my knees and crawl down through the burrow.
When I get to the other side of it I am now in a different place.
This place is more of a rainforest.
In the distance I see beautiful waterfalls with clear blue water.
But they aren't just any waterfalls, they are falling off floating islands.
And the floating islands have houses on them.
There are pretty flowers and plants everywhere and the tallest trees.
But the one thing that stumps me the most is that there are creatures every where.
These creatures are talking different languages that I don't understand and are pointing at me.
I wonder further into this amazing world and see many more amazing things.
By now the sun is setting and I need somewhere to stay.
