Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Turtles ❪✘❫

03 || Tumnus

Michelangelo is shocked to see that this world full of white snow and a beautiful white sky existed behind this closet-- inside this--this wardrobe. He could not stop smiling. It was probably the first real smile he has had since the war began back home. 

All of the happiness he originally had before had come back and it is all because a game of hide and seek had led him to a whole other world. This world-- he doesn't know how it ot here, where it came from, or what it is called. All Mikey cared about is that he feel happier here.

Now, he has seen snow throughout his life, but not this much! It is endless! Mikey is intrigued by these snowflakes because they were growing larger in size, floating and delicately landing on his scaly skin. 

Michelangelo kept forgetting about the negative thoughts and focused on the positive that he is witnessing now. He gazed at the white sky, seeing nothing but the light white and grey clouds hovering above him. There isn't a hint of blue sky in sight. The second the flakes hit his cheeks, he muttered out gently in amazement. "Wow..." He whispered.

Then, Mikey took a glance over his shoulder and saw that the wardrobe is hidden by a bunch of trees, still able to see the clothing dangling on the rack. He smiled some more, turning away and taking a few courageous steps forward to explore this mysterious world. 

The more the young mutant turtle walked farther into the brush, he was starting to get a little bit chilly. But the curiosity he has is rising and he is craving this adventure.

As Mikey continued to walk through the snow-covered trails with the cold nipping his body, he found himself approaching a very old lamp with a single candle keeping it lit. He tilted his head at it, admiring its appearance and odd presence. He thought it was weird to see it is here in the middle of the forest, not touched by a single person-- there were no other footprints in the snow beside his own. "Huh..." He wondered, walking right up to it.

Michelangelo suddenly felt a little uneasy... Like someone was watching him. He shook it off really quick in hopes that it was all in his head. Mikey extends his hands out to the lamp and lightly touched the body of the tall lamp. He felt the chilly temperature nearly freeze his fingertips, but he endured the feeling and held the lamp's pole in his hands. Mikey sighed, thinking that it might be a good time to go home and find his brothers.

Just as soon as he was going to pull away from the lamp, he heard a sudden snap coming from in the woods-- a branch, it must be. He gasped, turning his eyes to the course of the sound. He sees nothing but a bunch of snow-covered trees and darkened brushes and thickets. 

Then, he was hearing the same sound all around him, making him nervous the more he stuck around. He couldn't figure out what this sound was. Sometimes, the funny sound would appear big or small, tricking Mikey's mind of its size. He isn't sure if he should run or stay to see what was watching him.

The tension is rising more and more and Mikey eventually hugged the lamp post as a comfort object, talking to himself and saying that things will be okay. And then, a creature emerged from a tree unexpectedly, surprising Mikey. The creature shouts in shock as well, "AH!"

Mikey cried out louder, clutching the lamp post. "AH!!" Both, Mikey and the creature hid.

The creature that had frightened Mikey chose to hide behind a tree for protection while Mikey stayed put at the lamp post, peeking out from behind it to see that this was not a human being that approached him. 

Mikey lowered his eyes to the ground just a few feet out from the creature behind the tree. It looks like he dropped a few things. They look like packages-- old-fashioned. Then, he saw the male creature peek out of hiding, notching he had horns on top of his head with a thick red scarf wrapped around his neck.
