The Lost Kingdom of Pantala

Shreyank Shakya

Grade 5 ‘Seti’

There was a boy named Henry who loved to explore. Once, while exploring, he came across a huge tree. Underneath the tree, he discovered a tunnel. Fueled by curiosity, he decided to see what was inside and embarked on his exploration. The tunnel, long and dark, led him to a building at its end. The interior of the building was dimly lit making Henry feel uncomfortable. He sensed as if someone or something was watching him.

Undeterred, Henry continued exploring and stumbled upon numerous paintings of various people. Eventually, he decided to return home, gathering more information and planning to revisit later. In his library, he searched for a book describing the place and found one titled ‘The Lost Kingdom of Pantala’. Opening the book, he learned that the lost kingdom had been covered with debris over time. Recently, someone discovered it and built the tunnel. This was how Henry found the Kingdom of Pantala. He resolved to return, hoping to uncover more mysteries and identify the watcher.

Armed with the book, Henry returned to explore further. During his exploration, he encountered a trapdoor. Despite the feeling of being watched, he proceeded to open it. Beyond the trapdoor, he discovered a tiny gem hidden in a corner, covered with cobwebs. Dusting off the gem, he consulted the book and learned that it was a special gem designed to illuminate the surroundings, aiding explorers.

With the gem's help, Henry could finally see the one who had been watching him-the same person who had rediscovered the place and built the tunnel. The fellow explorer explained that he, too, had gotten lost in the kingdom and couldn't find his way back. With the assistance of the gem, they both managed to escape and share their discovery with others. Their adventure made them famous explorers, uncovering many mysteries in their future explorations.
