Chapter 2 of Princess Isabelle and the Underwater Kingdom in Deep Waters

Chapter 2: Into The Mysterious Waters of Corona

"GASP!" breathed Isabelle deeply as she regained consciousness. How am I still alive?! Isabelle marvelled at the thought. Am I dreaming or in heaven, or whatever situation I could possibly be in?! And how am I still breathing?!! She looked above her. She could see fishes scrambling everywhere and coral growing from the depths of the sea. What better place to be in than being stuck in the middle of the ocean?!!!! In the corner of her eye, she saw a glimpse of light coming from deeper into the water. She swam and swam until she could make out shiny and miraculous opaline structures stuck to the ground. But then, something caught her attention. Not only there was a massive castle right in front of her eyes, but even more surprising, there were merpeople. Yes, with seashell bras and hard-as-a-rock tails and all that mermaid criteria. Every merpeople gaped at her since she wasn't recognised in the unusual underwater kingdom. And then, 2 highly looking merpeople swam up to Isabelle. They were wearing golden, ancient-looking crowns, grinning with grateful smiles. "Oh Isabelle darling, I'm so glad you're here!" the merwoman said with satisfaction. Isabelle's jaw dropped. 

"I'm so sorry we hadn't introduced ourselves. I am Queen Margaret and this is King Jack. Lovely to meet you. We've heard so many great things about you Isabelle." Isabelle was lost for words. "I know this is a lot to take in," said the queen empathetically. "so I think we can explain everything to you at the Pearl Castle. Come on, follow me!" Isabelle went after the royal Queen and King. Queen Margaret gestured Isabelle to the castle. And it was a sight to see. Royal chandelier hung from the ceiling as they glimmered in the light. A dining table was the size of a gigantic wall. This is completely surreal. I'm definitely dreaming right now, Isabelle thought. "Welcome to Pearl Castle. Now sit right here and I'll explain EVERYTHING to you." the queen suggested.

 For a moment, there was a rather awkward silence as the queen and king glanced at Isabelle expectantly. "You can ask whatever you want, darling. We're all ears." Although it was polite for the queen to say this, Isabelle was feeling absolutely uncomfortable. It made sense since she was looking at "deceased," or very much ALIVE queens and kings that were talking to her. "Why am I here?" Isabelle blurted out. "Or actually, HOW am I here?" "By air bubbles." the queen replied calmly. "Air bubbles? What is that?" Isabelle asked again, with curiosity. "Air bubbles are bubbles that are filled with oxygen, again also known as air. I made it myself." "But how did you make it?" Isabelle asked again, intrigued. "Now that darling, is a secret meant to be kept a mystery. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why ARE you here?" the queen replied with empathy. She looked weary. Her voice turned serious. "That is because our kingdom needs your help."

The First-Ever Triumphant Victory of Sophia Ysabel

Everywhere I look, the streets of Wellington were filled with vandalism and graffiti. Loads of people always looked like ants scattering for food which is exactly what people do in lunchtime. Inside my cozy home, I was putting on my school uniform which had the ''slogan'' printed on the side of the uniform. It was Kake Tonu or Ever Upwards in Maori. In the back it had a sun with a weirdly detailed face. I swiftly grabbed my water bottle and put on my shoes. It was time to head down to the Sports Stadium. As I entered the stadium, hundreds of children were in rinks scurrying around frantically playing Floorball. "Great. Another not victorious win." I thought to myself. We lost loads of times. I figured that although with my team's skills and mine, we still wouldn't go home without a victory. I glanced at the kids playing in the rinks. They looked somehow desperate to win a game, with serious looks in their eyes. I grabbed my stick and sat down ne

SPECIAL Post Bulletin * Grading to 6th Kyu*

Image
Location:  GKR Karate Johnsonville Prime I stepped into the dojo as I grinned with embarrassment. My family and I were grading to (moving up to) green belt. The order of belts went like this; white, yellow, orange (which I currently was), green, blue, red, brown and black. But it wasn't going to be easy grading to these different coloured belts. The average person to become a black belt took 4-5 years! And currently, I was less than a year at karate. "Lining up!" one of the senseis (instructors) bellowed. "Hai!" the students grading shouted in response.  Shouting "hai" was acknowledging senseis when they say instructions. It was also a way to show that you were listening. If you didn't shout, you would need to do a certain amount of push-ups. I would say it was quite fair though. My heart was beating so fast, it could play the drums. We did some warm-ups as I jogged, jumped, stretched and shook my body to say "WAKE UP, SOPHIA! YOU'RE GRADI

Different Types of Poetry

Image
Hello! In today's blog, I'm going to unveil some different poems that I learnt at school. Poems, I think, are a great way to express yourself. While making poems, I find the process of writing them really fun. So let's get started! Haikus Haikus originated from Japan. Haikus are short line of poetry, but that's not all. There are a few compulsory rules that need to be followed by making haikus; 1. There are only three lines in a haiku 2. The first line needs to have 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the last line is 5 syllables 3.There are no more than 17 syllables in the whole poem Now, you might be wondering by Rule 2. That's what makes haikus more challenge to compose. But if you want an even bigger challenge, then when you're writing, you shouldn't give away what you're writing about. Like, for example:                                                            Books                                                      Fun, imaginative
