The Beginning of a Stealer

The train suddenly stopped moving. The chaos in that train was gone in just seconds. Everything became so silent, so calm, so different from what was going on a minute ago. Chloe Caroline opened her eyes in confusion. She looked right, then left, then right again. No one was on the train—she was alone.

The train also looked rather different from what a normal 2019 train usually looks like. The whole train was literally white. From the seats, to the tables, and to the floor and walls of the train. Chloe looked over to the window, and all she could see was nothingness. She couldn’t see a thing, black was the only color she could view from that window.

“Did I pass out? Did I die? That light blinded me! Where am I? Gosh, this is too weird to be true!” she said to herself.

Before this peculiar event, Chloe was sleeping on a train on its way to LA to sign a contract to be a young singer. Suddenly, the train moved so fast that everyone panicked. Some were praying, some were screaming, and others were just sitting in their seats with their pale face, too afraid to even speak a single word. The disaster woke Chloe up, and before her mind could analyse what was going on, a blue-colored light flashed through her and blinder her eyes. Once the light was gone, she was in this white train.

Chloe looked down in her lap, and saw the documents she brought for her contract, still safe and flawless.

“Well at least these papers are still okay. If I am still alive, I still can get that contract.”

She took the documents and put it in her red nike bag. After that, she stood up and started walking towards the doors of the white-colored train to exit. The doors automatically opened as she walked near it. When it opened, Chloe became surprised because the place she is at in that moment wasn’t dark at all, it was all colorful and beautiful.

Thousands of trees were standing straight and tall, birds were singing here and there, blooming flowers of different colors were coloring the grounds, and the smell of the grass refreshing the girl until she closed her eyes, sniffed the air, and felt very relieved. It was an astonishing sight to see, and Chloe was astounded. However, she started to question herself. She went back into the train and looked again at the window. She afterwards looked to another window, and another, and another, until she can conclude that through these windows, the only thing she could see was nothing.

“Why can’t I see a thing through these windows? Is it some kind of magic or something?” she wondered.

“Well, bingo! You are correct ma’am!”

Chloe turned her back and saw a yellow-colored creature, so small yet quite adorable. Covered in fluffy thick fur, it has wings and antennae like bees with glowing lights on the end of each antenas, and tiny little doll-like hands and feet. It was flying here and there, as if it was excited to see a visitor. This creature had been watching over Chloe silently from the very beginning, when Chloe arrived in the queer train.

“Hey little guy,” Chloe said to the creature, “What are you?”

The creature replied,”My name is Dexter, call me Dex if you want! I am a charitom, all that are my species look quite alike like me.”

“I’m Chloe. It’s nice meeting you,” Chloe smiled.

“Magic you say,” she continued, “What kind of magic?”

“The magic that Prince Archie created of course! He made the windows to be unseenable by people in the train to surprise them when they arrive in Thavmaton!”

“So I am in Thavmaton?”

“Well I guess almost, you just need to walk a few steps through the forest and you’ll enter the gate! Here, let me show you!”

Dexter flew in circles in excitement, and Chloe quickly took her bag. The charitom led her into the tall trees, entering the forest. As they entered the forest, Chloe was amazed by the beauty of it. There are fruits she had never seen before, pretty leaves of each plant she saw, mini fairies playing together on top of a quite-big turtle, with flowers and small plant on its shell, and so much more.

Dexter looked at Chloe’s dumbfounded face when seeing the turtle and explained, “That is Rocky, he is a fytalona. The fairies liked to make him their playground.”

After a few minutes, Chloe and Dexter arrived at the end of the forest, and there stands the Gate of Thavmaton. It was a humongous gate with soldiers around it. The gates were covered in gold and silver, and soldiers were the ones that would watch over it. They would also open the gates early in the morning when it is 5 a.m. and close it late at night when it was 12 a.m.. It was a gate just like in every single fairy tales everyone have heard of.

Dexter shouted, “Quick! I want to show you all the best places in Thavmaton!”

Dexter flew so fast that Chloe started running, following Dexter. She kept running and running, trying to keep up with Dexter, but she stumbled. When she stood up, she couldn’t find Dexter. She got lost.

Chloe observed the place she stumbled in. She saw a wooden sign that had “Garden of Pollyta” written on it beautifully. Not only that, she saw people with normal outfits like hers talking and laughing.

“Disney fantasy vibes but modern people,” she said to herself.

Furthermore, she saw children throwing some kind of shells made out of diamonds into a gold fountain near her.

“Don’t people usually throw coins, do they?” Chloe wondered.

She looked closer to those diamond shells in the fountain. She was planning to take one to fulfill her curiosity about that shell. She looked around to see if someone was watching her. When Chloe saw that no one cares about her, she put her hands in her water, and took a purple diamond shell.

“Stop what you’re doing!”

He grabbed her waist.
