Fiction: Group 4
After Joyce had left, Harold walked towards me. My hands were sweating as if they had just been
soaked in the sea water. I was sure that I couldn’t stand more than 3 minutes with him.
“Grace, would you like to join me for a little walk down the coast? “ Harold asked me with a
charming smile.
“ Em… Me? Em… I mean…O..Okay.” How stupid was I, I was trying really hard to act normally,
but things had just gone out in a wrong way.
The sea was so pretty. I had never seen this magnificent scene before. Works at school had been
taking up a lot of time, Head prefects, student council, English society and exams… It was nearly an
impossible task for me to take a little walk down here. As a city focusing a lot on the knowledge-based
economy and high competitiveness from neighboring cities, students in Hong Kong were always under a
tensed environment. Also, as a major trading port opened to the world, modern sky scrappers and roads
were built everywhere, forests and beaches had been closed or cut for these architects. The gentle breeze
blew all my worries away.
“ Isn’t it so pretty? ” Finally, Harold broke the silence.
“ Oh! Yes. So pretty. I hope this moment can exist forever. The rapid development has just ripped away this
precious piece of gift from God.” It was amazing! I had never spoken more than one sentence to any of the
boys, except my father. Was there really magic lying within the nature?
While we were enjoying the picturesque sea view, something was shining on the sand a few inches
away. Well, curiosity killed a cat. Immediately, I went to find out what was that. It was a necklace with a
porcelain charm.
"Grace, what's that?" Harold followed me. I gave him the necklace. “Huh? This porcelain charm
was from my homeland. How come it appears here?" Harold said.
"How do you know it's from your homeland?" I asked.
"This kind of porcelain products are unique in my homeland, Foshan. But only my family knows
how to make this kind of locket. But why was it here?" He answered. Sweeping away the sand on the
locket, I opened it.
Suddenly, everything around us disappeared, the beach was gone, an eerie green triangle appeared
in front of us. But after a few minutes, it vanished, and everything returns normally. It looked so familiar as
if I had just seen it. Oh! The green triangle that appeared in the sky yesterday! What on earth was
happening?
"So, the prophecy is true. The Day has come." Harold said. To my observation, I had never seen
him being so serious, he had given me a shining character like he was not going to worry about anything.
"Harold! What is going on? What prophecy are you talking about?"
"Look, Grace. I do not have a lot of time to explain everything in details. The Pearl River Delta is
in severe danger now. The green triangle you've seen, means the Pearl River Delta region. There was a
prophecy in my clan saying that one day when Dark Lord and her army polluted the Pearl River Delta, a
girl who releases the green triangle will save us from them. Grace, you are the girl." Harold looked at me.
What... Me? What a joke! I was not a 3-year-old girl who would believe in nonsense fairytales or the
Harry Potter series to be true. Harold seemed to know how to read through my mind and my confusion, "
Yes, you. I know it's a bit complicated. But there's no any other way. You are the chosen one, and you are
going to save us. But hakuna matata. I will always be with you, and we'll get through it together, save the
Pearl River Delta." His words were so comforting to me. Maybe I should trust him. Although I was still
confused at this moment, I was relieved.
“So, what should we do now?" Having no idea, all I could do now was to wait for Harold to tell
me what to do.
“I have no idea. Maybe, we can pay a little visit to the Pearl River to see what's going on." He
replied.
“How?"
"Fly! Now, I need you to trust me that I can help you fly. Look at my eyes and don't think
anything." I looked into his brown eyes. I saw my reflection in his pupils. It felt so great. His iris was like
the seed of a longan.
“Grace?" I realized I was just so embarrassing. "Yes?" My cheeks turned rosy red. “You are flying!
And we are going to Jiangmen which is the second largest river port in Guangdong province. I know that
