Chapter 1 The Cat-talking Girl

In the Plateau of northwest of Tibet province , a small village named Qifeng lied amid the southwest undulations of one of the deepest and longest canyons in the world-the Brahmaputra River valleys, it was an engirdled and secluded region which few tourists have ever set their feet in the wonderland yet. It was believed that some of them moved to this inconspicuous place in order to live a life hidden in the wild."Time is running out."Christ Gao heard a voice coming from the courtyard. He brushed at the corner of his loose polo shirt self-consciously as he stood up, and stepped out of the house.It got very hot and stuffy in the village even in the early summer, Christ found himself in a gloomy, downbeat mood when he saw the sun was comfortable sitting behind the dark clouds. The bad light in the late afternoon, the gates of the village were vaguely visible in the distance. There were azaleas bushes in blossom in the yard with petals scattered all over the gro

Chapter 2 The Holy Mud

It was getting dark outside. Joy stood up holding the manuscript her father just gave her in her arm, walking quickly through the coach towards her bedroom where she put the book on her desk. Then she thought of something, rushed to her bag on the coat hanger earlier and pulled out a clay figure. It looked like an ordinary small clay figure except that it would be too authentic."Baby, I got a gift for you. Look, this is a present I received from Grandpa Gao yesterday. It looks just like me; you have my permission to play with it. "Joy displayed it proudly.Apparently Baby was intrigued; he reached out his fore- paw to touch the clay figure. The minute he made contact with the Clay, a mild shock made all his hairs up as though there was a danger which threatened him, but instead he felt powerful, full of energy. He screamed and jumped far away in a shock."What the hell."Meanwhile,  Christ’s skin swelling and lifting his skin into tiny goose p

Chapter 3 Travelling

The rain kept falling for a few days, even though it was inconvenient going out; but the air of the place, so fresh with earthy smell, the grass was lush green; full of vitality on the roadside, the bumpy dirt road was shining; and the birds were singing, having a party in the jungle. On the morning of departure, the sun finally came in its wake seemed an effort on the part of Nature to match the state of the dad’s heart.Baby was jumping up and down passionately non-stop; Joy was worried that he would be tired during their way. Joy was all set to go; her carry-on package was a small blue waterproof backpack which she bought it two years ago for the Himalaya Mountains climbing."Be careful, you go there first, Baby will guide you. I will go later after I take care of some stuff here."Christ hugged his daughter."Don’t worry, Dad, Please take care of yourself, I will see you in the Habitat then." Joy replied.She walked quickly through the cour

Chapter 4 The Talented One

"Back off! "Joy was woken by the sound of shouting from a girl far away. Baby was already awakened, stood up, stretched his limbs, opened his mouth and licked the tip of his nose with his tongue. He was gently patting her left hand with his claw. Then he jumped up and ran into the direction where the noise came from. Joy picked up her package on the ground and began to follow Baby’s footsteps immediately.Joy ran close to see that a huge vulture was constantly attacking a palm-sized dog in front of a camphor tree which was dozens of meters high, and a girl about her age was protecting the dog using her power shield against the vulture laboriously.The vulture was full grown with a wingspan about six-or-seven feet, dark brown with two spreading wings; bare head covered with short dark brown plumage, the back neck was completely bare without feathers. His wings were stirring vigorously, causing the branches of the camphor tree dancing randomly, as though th

Chapter 5 Mythical Creatures

"Where do we go now?""East."They reached an open area where the bushes were completely out of sight; Sunshine slowed down and finally stopped in front of an ancient oak tree."Why?" Joy asked, as both of them leaned on the tree trunk and gasped for air."Because one of the grains will be there."It is recorded in the book-Wilderness that there are five kinds of mythical creatures in ancient times when it is a multi-deity society , represent the directions of East; West, South, North and Middle .Their existence is to guard the five directions and protect the peace of the space.

It is said that his body looks like a snake; his h

The array labyrinth is a tour puzzle made of wall-trees in the form of a complex branching passage through which the participants must find the right route. It is divided into several small mazes by tree walls of different heights.The map showed that the labyrinth was circular; consisting of complex, changeable plants and movable partition walls. In fact, the linear distance from the entrance to the center point was  about ten meters. Nevertheless, the maze was usually simple to enter but difficult to exit. A careless move may well trigger a wrong step caused walking into a dead end. But if you get hang of the access into and out, there was always light at the end of the tunnel. It seemed to be a fascinating sort of play.Both of them were gazing at the map while Baby and Happy were lying together near the wooden door. Joy fantasized that Sunshine's brain must be working like a supercomputer, so she dared not to disturb her. While she was letting her imagination

Chapter 7 The Twin Brothers

It was a lovely spring morning, there was a chilly drizzle of rain, the sky appeared a heavy shade of mottled gray, the sparrows chirp and chorus, and the air was muggy and oppressive. Joy was waking up in her soft single-bed; she turned off the alarm and sprang out bed. As she walked through the hall, she saw her father was making breakfast for her in the kitchen. She was suddenly awakening from her sweet dream with a start when Baby was playing with her right feet with his hind paw. It took her a few minutes to recover consciousness. She saw Sunshine was lying near her feet with Happy in her arms. She sneaked up so that she wouldn’t wake up Sunshine. It was a medial size cave, the scenery was so fantastic that Joy felt she was in an Alice-in-Wonderland world. Outside the cave month the blackness of night was like a curtain, but inside the cave was bright as daylight, the light was coming from everywhere or nowhere. A sound of water dropping broke in, she tried to spot where the wa

Chapter 8 To Teeter-totter

"It is a game played by four people; all four have to be standing on the huge disc at the same time. The disc pivoted in the middle so that, as one side goes up, the opposite side goes down. If one person accidentally falls down, the rest will follow down automatically, unless you are at the same page again. While you are dancing on the disc, please spot the difference. Each of your guides is different but which part? It is your job to find the odd one out. If you have the wrong answer, you will be severely punished. Please note that their position will change from time to time. A fair Warning: you cannot practice your power when you are playing."Sunshine finished reading through it, and then Benson pulled himself slowly to his feet while a huge stone plate was coming out of nowhere above the grassland in the middle of the cave. It was slowly rising up and stopped until it reached about one meter high. The disc was about two meters in diameter with a frame’s columns, h

Chapter 9 First Meet

"Come and find me, kid, I'm waiting for you..." Joy and Baby heard the sound, it appeared to come from somewhere beyond the distant stars, and brought the chill of the interstellar spaces with it. The intermittent echo reminded you of the wake-up of your midnight dream, and then it gradually went away until it completely disappeared, leaving only the aftertaste. "Baby, have you heard it? Can you tell whose voice it is?” "I can't tell. I only know it's from a very old cat." "Do you feel funny?" Joy and Baby were floating inside a boat on the middle of the lake what Joy visualized as a gigantic transparent bubble, which is like an independent sealed cabin, allowing them to breathe freely in it. There was another bubble-boat nearby with a good-looking guy inside who was watching her in wonder on the boundless lake. Just for a moment, her dark eyes caught his while a feeling of shame came over her. She glanced shyly at him out of the corners of her eyes. "Hello!" he was smiling and w

Chapter 10 The Void

Sunshine had woken from the dream with a start, and found herself suspended in mid-air. Fear gripped her, turning her bowels to ice; but she did not panic nor cried out for help. She tried to move forward until she realized that she was in the condition of weightlessness. "Happy, are you there?" sunshine shouted. "I felt like I am in another world, amid convulsions, as if my soul had left my body." To her surprise she didn’t feel too weak, light-headed certainly, and with a sense of unreality, but was able to move freedom. "Calm down. I am here." Happy’s voice ran behind her. "I have heard the elders mentioned this place before, it's really incredible that a plce like this could exist." It took her a while to get used to the "zero-gravity" state; she took a deep breath to calm herself down, gave it a little thought and drifted slowly with great effort. "Where are Joy and Baby?" "They are not here, we are alone." It was cool and
