Borealis: Mysterious Paths and Gateways

"Where am I? How did I get here?" questioned Tokki in mind.


Her eyes opened up slowly and all that she could see was darkness. Tokki has landed on a pile of dried leaves and her back ached after the hard landing.

"I think I fell down somewhere. Why is it so dark in here?" wondered Tokki. She reached into her satchel and grabbed whatever she could and found the smooth stone with the glowing rune; this magical rune stone has been discovered from her last adventure to find Wise Orb in the woods.

From the dimmed glow that the rune lit off, she found herself surrounded by papers and dried leaves. She saw a light right above her head. She peeped out her head quietly and found that she fell into a recycling bin! She climbed out and, there, right ahead of her were three perfectly dug out soiled tunnels. She looked around her surroundings and her jaw dropped in awe.

"Whoa. What a beautiful place!" asked Tokki.

This mysterious underground world has been decorated beautifully with what seemed like crystal lanterns floating gracefully on the ceiling. The floor has been tiled up with lustrous pearly marble. There was nobody in sight. Empty and peaceful. Tokki became curious and tiptoed slowly towards the tunnels.

"Now. Which tunnel do I enter?" asked Tokki.

She walked towards the left tunnel. Everything looked dark. She felt a chilly breeze, heard the wind echoed through the tunnel but what intrigued her the most about this tunnel was the smell of fresh pine trees.

"That's interesting" said Tokki.

Then, she walked towards the tunnel in the middle. There was a faint light glowing around the tunnel but it appeared very bright at the end. She heard a muffled melody playing inside the tunnel and her nose sniffed a whiff of fragrance that was a mixture of cheese, grapes and rosemary leaves.

She moved along to the third and last tunnel. She stood right in front of the tunnel and saw stars twinkling very brightly at the very end. The darkness around the tunnel was not just any kind of darkness, it was a navy blue darkness, it reminded her of the night sky at the edge of a cliff nearby the dancing ocean.

"Hmm..this looks familiar" said Tokki. "Hello?! Is there anybody here?" she yelled as her voice echoed.

She paused for a moment in silence, but there was nobody around, nor a voice to be heard, to respond back to her.

"I don't know what I should do here! Should I just walk into any tunnel without a warning?!" she exclaimed. "Great, I'm talking to myself, well, I'll just have to do this then" she said while letting out a sigh.

She took out her cloth handkerchief and blindfolded herself with it, she moved herself in circles several times and began moving forwards aimlessly.

"Here goes nothing" she said.

She moved slowly while reaching her hands out for guidance. Then, as she tried to move in a faster pace- she tripped!

"Ow! Something just tripped me!" she exclaimed while still blindfolded, then, carefully, tried to stand up again. Out of curiosity, she began to slowly remove her blindfold and saw that she almost walked towards a wall. The tunnels were behind her, but, as she moved her gaze down, there right in front of her stood a poise Wise Owl and a smiling Nice Puppy.
