The Magical Adventures - 2

Reading your overwhelming response, to the previous part of this adventure, which can be read here.....I decided to post this as soon as possible! And hurray....I am done with it!

Et and I went inside the hall together. As I entered I actually realized it was not a hall but the principal city of the town. There were several shops scattered around in a haphazard way.

Like Et, there were several other Pocket Skyas (as their species is called). I realized the wrinkles here did not mean old age but were natural and attached with birth. The children stood near the parents while toddlers were carried in baskets.

It was a kind of huge bustling market which tempted me to take home a souvenir of this memorable place. But alas! I had no scopas (their currency) with me. Then again, Et came to my rescue. His stout fingers pointed towards the right and I read a blurry name reading Scopa Kanb.

"That is the Kanb (which is called bank on earth) where we store money. I am too wealthy and could happily give you some, Mistress!", he said with a cherishing smile. He bade me to wait where we stood while he took the money and came back in a jiffy.

With nothing to do, I started introspecting the intriguing ambiance. I saw hoards of Pocket Elves buzzing near one shoppe to another. The first shoppe that caught my eye was the Brainia Store. Here they sold human brains of dead people decorated artistically which I learnt the Elves used as home decorations.

I felt yucky and horrible at the thought of it but I was later informed that all humans who came to heaven happily donated their brains and those were decorating artifacts, as humans had no use of it now!

Then I saw another shoppe that said, "Comee Onee Commee All…To The Muckiiii Stallllll". Here the owner sold artistically adorned candles which captivated the viewer. I wondered why it was called mukckiii but later learnt that it was so because when the candle was burnt, it would burst into a huge ball of slickly, mucky liquid which was green and orange in color. This liquid would take strange and weird shapes which would momentarily disappear into the thin air! This, was given to young elves who used it to play pranks!

What mesmerized me the most was the Food Shoppe which sold various types of foamy liquids in a strange bowl. When Et returned, I first asked him to buy me a cup of Cloa-Cloa….the famous dish of Skysi World. As soon as I put it into my mouth, it kind of burst with a loud noise but there were no flames…instead, my mouth tickled it's taste buds with a strange flavor which melted soon but was most delighting. I ate five helpings of the dish but then Et told me that as a precaution to prevent obese elves, a sixth helping would explode the dish into flames…although dearly wanting to..I moved on.

Et smiled at me and lead me to Flora Stall. Here they sold strange purple and green and black flowers which were made of butterfly wings! It was the most pleasing sight I had ever seen. Thousands and thousands of butterfly-winged flowers all stacked together presented a scene that transfixed me.

Et bought me one in black with beautiful white spots and yellow markings. As soon as I held it in my hands and stared thrillingly stared at it for about a minute…the flower suddenly shriveled and the petals fell down on the flower. From these scattered petals emerged a volley of butterfly winged insects about the size of eagles. They circled me and bowed and flew away.

I asked Et what had happened, but instead of an answer I heard my mom calling and telling me that the school bus had already left. I grumbled and sat up at another shattered dream wondering why after all, had she woken me up when the bus had already left.

Then mom said, "Get ready grumpy heart. As you are late, Dad will leave you on the way to office." I ran to the bathroom and while brushing, my hand stumbled past something in my night dress's pocket. It was a Cloa-Cloa but the size of an ant now.............
