The Start of an Amazing Tale Harrow International School Hong Kong, Tse, Leticia - 10 As people brushed pass the busy market in Beijing with fruits and a jug of water in their hands. It was always a busy place, but today was especially busy. For today was when me and my family set sale to give treasures to the poor it was tough as I knew from the days I would sit up in my comfy violet bed reading the diaries of my great grandpa. As I knew me and my sister would be the only girls aboard….. The new journey to atlantis HIIIIIIII! My name is Sydney and I’m 10 years old I have a sister whose name is July she is really dirty and clumsy and my papa’s name is Raymond and my mamma’s name is Miriam we set of yesterday early in the morning to go and give presents to the needy .Since I arrived it has been a very hard job keeping the place tidy I tried to clean my room it had mold sticking everywhere just thinking about it makes me want to BARF! Any way the bed seemed to be in good shape so I just slept on it…. I woke up to the sounds of thundering storms and roaring creatures I peeked out of a tiny hole leading outside it was a crazy storm. I saw large tentacles smashing the sea ground. I broke into a cold sweat and rushed into every room I could find and yell “ALERT ALERT THERE’S MONSTERS ON DECK ALERT” and of course they would wake up and jump around screaming except for my 4 year old sister she would jump out of bed and read her book and she would yell “YAY MONSTERS COME TO PALY YAYAYAYYY SQUEEEE” I seriously can’t believe that girl we would have to fight bare handed because all our weapons were stored safely in the storage room the person that had the keys had been swallowed by the monster I used to slap his tentacles of the deck with wheelbarrows uhm you wouldn’t believe how long it took to wash that slimy muck of my hands, but those tiring days were all over we finally arrived to are destination Atlantis. As the beautiful land scape came into view the tall trees and the colorful flowers, but the best part was there was a humongous palace standing proudly above us our mouth dropped as I asked papa and mama if me and July could take a closer look as we pushed are way through the bushes and trees covering most of the land we finally passed the bushes and trees into a clearing a tall majestic shimmery palace looking over the forest the doors swung open, as July tugged on my arm she squeaked “can we go in there” without answering she led herself in.AAAAAHHH a blinding flash of light brightened the area as I called out for my sister ..no answer without looking I quickly rushed past the door .All the way down it felt like a illusion falling down a deep dark hole THUD!!As I got up on my feet I desperately tried to find my sister as I heard footsteps approach it got closer and closer I could make up the figure it was my sister! “JULY” I ran across the room hugging her like I was back at home. I smiled as she told me her adventure through candy land I thought she was lying before she showed me a crystal candy phone she told me the time here was much slower so we had time to figure things out. She also said that she got to have a cup of tea with the mad hatter YES, the mad hatter can you believe it. she explained that we needed to find a pendant to go back to papa and mama she told me that it would be just around the corner of the land of monsters I shuddered at the thought as we waked and walked as we arrived we were unpleasantly greeted by know what I think as a nature monster moss was growing rapidly but this will surprise you it was a sign as I heard footsteps I knew we were going to have a messy fight as my sister huddled under a rock as I quickly made a shield out of leaves and twigs I scratched myself so I could get some blood and paint with it on my shield I learned that it will scare the monsters in monster adventures . Apparently, it worked as I heard it running and whining yes, I saved the day and it happened aloght of times finally we got the pendant by playing a winning chess game against a villager. As we rushed through pirates and monsters and fought through twice as fast as we reached the destination we came from we could see the pedant was gleaming we quickly rubbed it and POOF we landed head first into the pond surrounding a small village it was noisy but colorful as we almost forgot what we came for as we quickly gave things to them including July’s crystal phone as they thanked us and gave presents of their own including carved paintings on rocks and new weapons witch I’m shore papa will love ,as we waved good bye we set of to find papa and mama it wasn’t that hard since they were coming to look for use since they were wondering where we were now I’m back in my cabin writing this all in to my diary hoping that my grandkids will read this and spread it through their own family roof BYE! poof that was a really long diary entry I wish grandma would have wrote a shorter diary entry. As mama loaded the luggage’s onto the ship mama said “come on Hope the ship is leaving soon and don’t say anything like that to my dear mama.”
