Tinerals

I heard the word “Tinerals”. Whoever/Whatever said it, said it in an utterly soft, innocent, voice. My 9 year old brain thought “Tinerals? You're most likely hearing things”.  I went back to what I was doing.  After a few minutes, I heard it again, “Tinerals”.  I peeked out the window of my house.  I looked out the window.  I screamed “what are Tinerals?” ( to nobody, I guess ).  Then I heard my parents asking “Makla! is that you?” (and, by the way, Makla is my name). I went back to bed. My dad came up to my room where I was sleeping. “Makla, are you awake?”, he asked.  I pretended to remain sleeping.  My dad went back downstairs.  I looked out my window.  I saw a giant gray wall. I called my parents.  There was no answer.  Suddenly something was pouring down the wall that was..hmmm…Tinerals possibly? I saw a flower scream “Tinerals!”. I saved the flower from, well, Tinerals I suppose. “What are Tinerals?”, I asked the flower. "Carbon Mono-something” said the flower. “Carbon Monoxide?” I asked. “No, it’s - Carbon Monosion. Yes. Carbon Monosion.” the flower said. '‘Ok." I replied.

Surviver Flower

"What is Carbon Monosion?", I asked.  "Well, Carbon Monosion is a collision between the Great Gray Wall of Taflamai and the Great White Wall of Taflamai. We call it Tinerals", said the flower. "So, do we live in Taflamai?" I asked. "Yes", said the flower. "What is your story?" I asked.  "Over 15 years ago there were tons of flowers in Taflamai, but a few years after there was a powerful explosion. All the flowers died, but somehow I managed to survive. Since then, the Great Walls of Taflamai kept colliding causing Carbon Monosion to be created, which kills flowers and humans, but somehow I managed to survive that too", the flower said. "Oh, I see.  So you're like a surviver flower", I said.

The Blue Palace of Taflamai

 As me and my flower were walking around, I saw a Blue Palace. I dazed at it for several minutes before I walked towards it. On the top of the palace, in gold, it read 'The Blue Palace of Taflamai'. I saw four guards standing out side of the Blue Palace of Taflamai. I knocked on the door. The door opened. It was like a party. It had all the foods you would want, tons of entertainment, - pretty much everything!!!  "What is this for?" I asked the guard." The grand opening of the Blue Palace". "Ok." I said. We went in. We had the pizza first, of course. We then started dancing. It was fun. There was a bouncy house in there too. We were there all day.  

 

Tei Abller

As I was walking with my flower, looking at the beautiful sights, I felt sad. I missed my family. I really wanted to see my parents again. Then suddenly I saw a giant green man jump in front of me.

“Hello! I'm Tei Abller. I'm here to help you with anything!!” he said.
I simply walked away.
“Come on! I can get you food, a drink, make you something...and more!” he said.
“Did you say that you would help me find my parents? I asked.
“Yes,” he replied.
I was smiling with joy. “Well then, I will allow you to help me find them!”

Beginning the Search

"OK Tie Apple. You promise that you will help me find my parents?" I asked.  " Yes. And by the way, my name is Tei Abller not Tie Apple." he said. We started walking around Taflamai to find my parents. Suddenly, for about 3 seconds, I heard my parents scream "Makla!". Then it all went back to normal. I saw a bird fly by Taflamai. Tei Abller said "OH MY GOSH!! A BIRD!!!". "What about it?" I asked. "There are only a few more birds left here. They are becoming exctinct here in Taflamai. Mainly because of Tinerals." said my flower. "Thanks foe telling me little buddy. In my old city, birds were everywhere. Now I am in this city, and I need to find my parents." I said to my flower.  I kept hearing "Makla!", but never managing to find where it came from. So we kept on walking, unaware of what was going to happen next..........................

The Collision

I heard a smash. I knew what it was. It was Tinerals, the collision between the Great Gray Wall of Taflamai and the Great White Wall of Taflamai. "Tei Abbler! Flower! RUN!!!!" I said. I ran too. I noticed that the flower was gone.  I looked over. I saw my own flower just laying there. No movement was shown from him. I cried. "Help." I heard him say, in a very hopeless voice. I grabbed him. I ran with the flower, and Tei Abller slightly ahead of me. We were running as fast as we could.

The Rush

I rushed to the grass as fast as I possibly could. I started digging a hole in the ground. I planted the flower in the dirt, and watered it. I used all the wood from all the trees I could find to make a big wall to block off the Tinerals. Then I realized something bad.......

Behind the Wall

I couldn't find Tei Abller. I then realized, he was behind the wall I had made. "I can't climb!!" he said. I climbed over the wall and just barely grabbed his hand and brought him over it.

My Parents in an Eye

The Tinerals went away. Tei Abbler started talking. I noticed something very, very, weird. In his eyes, was my house, my family - pretty much everything. I stared at them for 10 seconds, and I found myself at home again. "Mom!!!! Dad!!!! I missed you so much!!" I said. I ran up to my parents and hugged them. "Where have you been?" my parents asked. I was not sure if
