Bella’s Halloween Yellow
Under the yellow night sky, there was a girl walking along a path illuminated by diamonds scattered like stars. She followed a pumpkin ghost glowing in a black hue, blending with the brightest backdrop of the world. Bella wanted to tug at the pumpkin ghost’s cloak. The cloak sparkled like a galaxy, and her eyes made her want to grab hold of it. However, Bella was a timid girl and was afraid of making the pumpkin ghost, the owner of her own little galaxy, angry. So she just lightly pulled at the cloak and continued following behind the pumpkin ghost. It didn’t feel like much time had passed since Bella started following the shimmering light of the galaxy from the pumpkin ghost’s cloak.
After a little while, Bella arrived at a village where the lights of different colors captivated her eyes and made it impossible to look away. The lights in the village seemed to shine even brighter than the sparkling light from the galaxy on the pumpkin ghost’s cloak. But soon, Bella realized that the shimmering light from the cloak of the pumpkin ghost and the light in the village, although different in color, were shining in the same way. Bella understood that the sparkling light from the galaxy on the pumpkin ghost’s cloak was actually shining because of her own light. She could vaguely sense that there was a barrier preventing her from fully understanding the emotions she had just felt.
Bella was unaware that the pumpkin ghost was following her. Although the pumpkin ghost couldn’t see Bella, it had a vague sense that something was there. The pumpkin ghost had felt this way before. The pumpkin ghost tried hard to remember something from its past, but it couldn’t recall anything at all.
As soon as the pumpkin ghost arrived at the pumpkin ghost village, it hurriedly made its way to its own house. Bella continued to follow the pumpkin ghost and eventually caught up with it in front of its house.
‘Pumpkin ghost, where are you going?’
‘Why aren’t you saying anything?’
‘Don’t leave me here alone.’
Bella said a few words to the pumpkin ghost, but there was no response. She gave up and decided to explore the pumpkin ghost village.
The pumpkin ghost started to feel a sensation that made it feel like it could remember something from its past. Its head began to throb with pain. Realizing that there were no other pumpkin ghosts in the pumpkin ghost village to help it during the Halloween season, the pumpkin ghost chose to silently observe its memories.
Bella looked at the pumpkin ghost village and pondered where to go. No matter where she went, the pumpkin village was adorned with elegant lights that would surely capture her attention. While Bella was contemplating, she noticed a black hot air balloon across from the pumpkin ghost’s house and decided to ride it.
It was recorded that if you put a candy in the pumpkin-shaped lantern of the hot air balloon, it would automatically travel to the next stop. Bella didn’t need to worry about driving the balloon herself or finding a pilot because the hot air balloons in the pumpkin village safely transported passengers to the next stop when given a candy.
Excited, Bella searched for a candy to put in the lantern of the hot air balloon but soon realized she didn’t have any. Disappointed, she stopped breathing for a moment.
That’s when something amazing happened right in front of Bella’s eyes.
Among the small sparkling lights floating around the pumpkin ghost village, one light transformed into a gem in Bella’s hand. Curious if this gem could be the candy to put in the black pumpkin-shaped lantern, Bella decided to place the gem in the lantern.
In that moment, the hot air balloon started to rise and move as if it was about to depart. Bella quickly boarded the balloon, closed the door, and leaned against it, not wanting to miss the balloon.
Remembering that the sparkling lights floating around the pumpkin ghost village turned into gems when held, Bella realized she could use them as candies.
Bella, floating on the black hot air balloon for a long time, came face to face with a massive black hole. The black hole was so enormous that even Bella seemed to be overshadowed by its presence. In the empty space, Bella, who had been lonely for a long time, somehow recalled the past encounter with the pumpkin ghost. Bella discovered a light emanating from the black hole and wished to follow it, but the black hole didn’t permit it easily. Instead, it assigned Bella a task, stating that if she could perfectly solve the homework, it would let her in again. Setting aside the brief moment of encounter, Bella made a promise to the black hole that she would diligently complete the assigned task.
Having made the promise to solve the homework perfectly, Bella requested the black hot air balloon to take her to a place where she could solve the task given by the black hole. The black hot air balloon promptly ignited vibrant flames and set off towards an unknown destination. Closing her eyes, Bella vowed to keep her promise with the black hole, and the balloon soared away.
Chapter.1 Antique Arche Library
Bella, feeling the descent of the hot air balloon, gradually opened her eyes and looked around. It was a garden where the beautiful stars of the very dim night sky sparkled like diamonds about to fall. There were countless shelves of books with billions of books, soft gray and sky-blue sofas and large beds that could be comfortably leaned on from anywhere, flowing small ponds, and bridges reminiscent of the medieval Renaissance era scattered throughout. At the center of the garden, a coffee machine was pouring coffee next to a dazzling fountain, and the smell of roasting coffee beans filled the air.
A large roasting machine, as big as the bookshelves, was roasting beans for Bella. As she noticed coffee cups floating like a dance in the night sky, Bella found a way to fix the coffee cup to the beans sprinkled in the night sky, climbed up the beans like stairs, grabbed the cup she liked, and came down to start making coffee. Wanting an iced Americano, Bella looked around for ice. Approaching the fountain, she caught the ice crystals coming out from the top of the fountain with her coffee cup and returned to mix them with espresso and water, creating her drink.
Excited by the space she loved and the refreshing coffee she had just enjoyed, Bella, sipping her coffee, happily pondered where to explore. Bella, with eyes full of anticipation, looked around. The shelves were filled with books on various topics, ranging from ancient scrolls to modern literature. The garden was elegantly decorated, and the quiet sound of the fountain flowed through the air. Sitting on a soft sofa, holding a coffee cup, and strolling between the bookshelves, it felt like she could explore new worlds.
