16 The angel bird glides through the canyons and corridors beneath the
earth. It increases its speed, and you hold tight as it swoops through
long, curving passageways. It's the most exciting ride of your life,
and would certainly be the scariest if you didn't feel that you've
never been safer. Then, ahead of you, is a tunnel that flares out into
a broad new world. An endless landscape stretches before you. It is
bathed in soft, reddish light, as if the sun had just set everywhere
around you! A great river forms a curving line that divides the
land. Trees line its banks. Farther back from the river are mountains,
some of them lavender or blue and others that flicker like glowing
embers. Strangely there is no horizon; instead the landscape fades
into dusky reds and browns that curve over your head, forming a sky
that is almost the same color as the ground. Directly above you is
something that looks like the sun, but it is absolutely black! So this
is the Underground Kingdom-strange, vast, and very beautiful. What
people or creatures live here? What mysteries does it hold? But you
are swept from your daydreaming by the realization that your life here
could be in danger.
If you set out to explore the Underground Kingdom, turn to page 19.
If you concentrate on getting safely back home, turn to page 22.
