My heart skipped a beat. This was my first time riding a hot air balloon alone. I didn’t want to but my parents forced me, saying that I spent too much time cooped up in my room. Well here I was. I said one final goodbye to my parents and went up,up and away. I flew around a bit and then a sudden realization dawned. I was on top of the clouds! It was unlike anything I had ever seen before.
There were horses galloping about, majestic unicorns bent down, ginormous castles, even a gingerbread house.It was all out of a dream. Then it glitched and changed. The horses turned into monsteress beasts, the unicorns turned into a pile of dead bones, the palace turned into a forsaken wreck and the gingerbread house turned into a gloomy prison cell with a lone fairy. A stepped onto the now gray clouds, surprised I could stand on them. I ran to the fairy and asked her what she was doing there. The fairy told me that her name was Layla and she was the keeper of the dream clouds, where the dreams of all children were controlled. Now the dream clouds had been corrupted by nightmares. The fairy gave a vial of dust and said to fly on top of the dream clouds and sprinkle the dust while remembering my happiest dream. For the first time I felt determined.After all, I couldn’t let this land of beauty die in the hands of evil. So l hopped into my hot air balloon and started it up.
Rocks hurtled my way as I struggled already battling the harsh storm that was coming out of nowhere. But nothing was stopping me now. I overlooked the gruesome clouds deciding what dream to select. After
choosing my favorite dream, I opened the vial of dust which was now a golden colour. It slipped out of my grasp, spinning dust everywhere. As soon as the dust hit the clouds colours flourished everywhere turning the
nightmares back into dreams. I floated down, my heart filled with joy and pride. Soon I had to say goodbye to this wonderful land but now, I would explore to the max.
