had to decide which tunnel to take. The blue tunnel looked somehow too dark, and the green one too friendly again. She tried to flip a coin. But it flew up into nowhere and never came down ...
Eventually she decided to take the green one ...

She flew around the green tunnel for a long time, trying to get faster with swimming movements. It worked well in the beginning, but she couldn't hold on to this power for long.She passed the time watching the rings change color. From green to yellow, from yellow to orange, from orange to red, from red to pink, from pink to purple, from pink to blue and so on. When she got bored, she did loops and turns. After about half an hour (it seemed like two hours to Shinyu) she discovered a colored hole. It was a little bigger than she was, and it kept changing color. About two seconds ago it was blue, but now it is purple, now red and already yellow. Shinyu was intrigued and tried to steer towards it. She circled the 'hole' (which is quite illogical because there can be no holes in nothing) suspiciously. Because she was fed up with holes, mirrors and other portals. "But it's still better than floating around here forever," she thought to herself, closed her eyes and just slipped through. For a few seconds she floated through a silvery and viscous curtain of water.It felt strangely warm and soothing. But then, all of a sudden, it stopped. It seemed to float in mid-air before hitting the ground hard.

It took a while, but eventually she was conscious again. , normally I would have written now: It took a while before she was back to normal. But you could call it anything but normal. She had just entered a completely different world through a mirror, a simple mirror. A world that was as unknown to her as once not sleeping with Frau Schniegelbrecht to music. She got up and looked around with a big question mark in front of her head. "What happened? Where am I?", She mumbled, "Oh yes, the mirror ..." She rubbed her head and closed her eyes to be able to remember. Shinyu looked around. "It's so strange here ... Where am I? And how do I get out of here?" She said aloud and at the last sentence she was about to scream loudly and desperately."In Gaia," she heard a voice whisper softly. She (the voice) sounded old and wooden. "Thanks, that just doesn't help me much ...", she replied and turned around. But there was no one behind her. Only a few cherry blossom trees swayed their branches in the wind and the bushes rustled their leaves. "Huh ...? Who said that?" But behind and in front of her there was only silence. “Ahem, I'll go then!” At first she crept very slowly, with great care and with the intention not to make a sound, away from the trees, but then ran straight back and forth through the forest. Only after she ran into the same pine tree almost three times, at least the tree looked like a pine, it had needles, was big, but all needles were different colors, she decided to find a way or at least a small path that led out here . It didn't matter to Shinyu whether she came to a village, a town or a big city. The main thing was that someone knew how to get out of here.Shinyu had run many yards and was leaning against a tree. Then she saw a shiny stone a few meters in front of her. She was fascinated by its beauty and splendor and went straight to him. She padded nimbly to the stone and found herself on a small, narrow path. The path looked very noble because it was made entirely of gold. In front of the small stone that she wanted to take with her beforehand, there was a small sign that read in calligraphy: "Holy stone of the wise dragon Kashikoi. Please do not take it with you. This stone must not and does not want to leave." Shinyu had to giggle, she knelt and wrote in the black sand: Okay. "What's so funny about that?" Asked a voice behind her coldly. "Huh ...?" Shinyu turned around, but all she saw was the lanky legs of a brown horse. Had a horse spoken to her this time? "Up here, young lady!" Said the voice and Shinyu looked up at the horse. In fact, on top of it sat a normal-sized man with a black mustache and black hair.Shinyu estimated him to be just over forty years. He wore blue pants and a white shirt and a blue jacket with yellow buttons. "Oh, excuse me, I haven't seen you. Are you something like a police officer on patrol?" Shinyu got to his feet and brushed the sand off his pants. "Yes, of course. I'm from the Sherrington Field Police Department. Can't you see that?" The officer replied. "Uh, you know, I'm not coming from here. Are you on the way there? Could you take me there then?", Shinyu asked with her dog-eyed look, that had always worked so far, why not today? "Mmh, yes, get on. I hope that you at least know how to mount a horse ..." "But always!", Shinyu said happily and immediately jumped on the horse. "Come on, stupid, run!" Demanded the policeman from his horse. "Hey! You can't just swear at the horse like that!" Shinyu protested. "Why then? His name is" stupid "!", replied the rider with a laugh." Oh ... ", Shinyu replied quietly.
