Level 1
Location: In the magical world of Narnia
As the group warped in the first level, they found themselves near the lamppost, surrounded by tall trees covered in thick snow. The ground was also thick with snow because of the one-hundred year enchanted winter where it is "always winter, but never Christmas."
"This is it. We're in Narnia," Key exclaimed, folding back the game map.
"So, where are the Turkish Delights?" Shindong asked enthusiastically.
"They are not for eating, hyung," Taemin told him, and his beaming face dropped into despair.
"Must be hidden deep within the White Witch's castle," Kyuhyun guessed wildly.
"We must go there, but first, we must ask for directions," Leeteuk suggested.
While walking, they met Father Christmas who gave them all sorts of weapons for defense. Swords, axes, staffs, arrows, spears, etc.
Along the way, trudging into the thick snow, and the frozen lake, Donghae began wandering off, his eyes bewildering on the surrounding fictional land. "Whoa. And I thought I was dreaming."
Suddenly, he noticed that he went on separate ways with the others, and he began to worry that he'll get left behind and be stuck in that world forever. But, far off, he can see a fast horse or sleigh approaching. He narrowed his eyes to figure out what it was in hopes of getting help, but it was when the fast-approaching carriage was meters in front of him that he jumped out of the way, falling heavily on the snow.
"Owww"
A short dwarf-minion was about to slit his neck, when a lady dressed in all white came to his aid. It was the White Witch, but of course, Donghae didn't know that.
"What is your name, Son-of-Adam?" Jadis, the White Witch and self-proclaimed Queen of Narnia asked him, full of interest.
"Uhhh...Donghae," Donghae answered reluctantly.
"And how, Donghae, did you come to enter my dominion?"
"I'm not sure. You see, we were warped in this sort of dimension and ended up near a lamppost. I was just following my friends-"
"Not sisters or brother?"
"No."
"Oh. So how many are you, Son-of-Adam?"
"Counting me? Well, last time I checked, there were 6.5 Billion."
"What?" Jadis then paused for a while, then resumed. "Wait, that's how many Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve there are in the world right?"
"Yeah, obviously. The game couldn't warp in the entire human race into this world, duh!"
"Now, what about something nice and hot to drink?" Jadis offered.
"You're thirsty?"
"No, no. I mean for you," Jadis laughed off.
"I am thirsty?" Now Donghae started to get confused.
"Ask yourself! Now, what do you want to eat?"
"Ummm..ramen?"
So, the White Witch dropped a liquid from her vial and it turned into a bowl full of ramen.
"So, Donghae, I would very much like to meet your friends whom you have brought here."
"Good. Maybe you can knock some sense into Chaemin."
"Who's Chaemin?"
"My friend, Jonghyun's cousin."
"Well, you see Donghae, I have no children of my own. And you are exactly the kind of boy whom I would like to see one day becoming the Prince of Narnia. Maybe even King," Jadis explained carefully.
"Chaemin is so annoying," Donghae, who wasn't even listening, told himself, eating the ramen fast.
"Never mind. You have to bring your friends though."
"Why? Is there going to be a party or something?"
"No. But a king needs servants."
"No way I'm going to be a servant for a king," Donghae started to get off the carriage. He totally misunderstood the White Witch because he was busy eating ramen.
"No! YOU would be king. Your friends would be servants to you. Just make sure to bring them to my castle though, or I'd be very angry with you," Jadis told him in a strange, low voice which kind of freaked him out.
"You are creepy, you know that?" Donghae said, moving slowly away from the White Witch. He wanted to run away from her royal creepiness and get back with the group.
"Are you afraid of me? There's no need to be afraid, dear. I can give you all the ramen in the world and make you prince."
"You keep calling me 'dear', that's creepy and I don't even know you. I'm getting out of here," Donghae resolved and hurriedly got off the carriage of the White Witch.
"My house is between those two hills, across the frozen lake. Remember to come with your family. I will miss you."
With that, the White Witch drove off, and sped back along the snowy road.
"I will remember," Donghae muttered under his breath. "to stay away from that house as possible. Weirdo"
"Oi! Hyung!" Ryeowook called from the distance. "Where have you been?"
"Just wandering off, I guess. Got a bit lost and-"
"C'mon. We have no time to lose. We still have to figure out where are the Turkish Delights. It could possibly be anywhere in these woods," Jonghyun said. The cold was beginning to annoy him as they didn't have proper winter clothes.
"I've got an idea. Let's ask for directions," Yesung suggested. "That weird-looking guy over there in the bushes. He seems to know the way. We could ask him to lead us to Aslan, who can lead us to the Turkish Delights."
They approached the faun among the bushes.
"Um, excuse me sir-" Leeteuk started.
"Mr. Tumnus," the half man half goat dude said.
"What?"
"The name's Mr. Tumnus."
"Okay. So, Mr. Tumnus, how do we get to Aslan?" Onew asked.
"Why do you want to see Aslan?"
"To get to the Turkish Delights of course," Heechul answered.
"Okay. Let’s get this straight: (1) Aslan’s not here. He’s in the Entertainment District…in a place I believe is called “Starbucksâ€.. (2) The White Witch has the Turkish Delights. You have to talk to her. I can lead you to her castle," he told the desperate group.
"Okay. then lead the way, Mr. Tumnus," Eunhyuk told the faun.
"Are you mad?" Donghae angrily asked Eunhyuk. "No way am I going there."
"We don't have a choice. It's either that or we'll be stuck here forever."
So, the group resolved to follow Mr. Tumnus into the White Witch's castle. Then, he walked away to avoid being caught by Jadis or any of his evil minions.
But since none of them were willing to go in, especially Donghae, Sungmin was forced by everyone to enter the domain of the White Witch.
"I'm going in. You guys are for back-up," Sungmin bravely walked into the castle doors.
"If you need my help, you have my sword," Siwon said.
"...and my bow," Kyuhyun followed.
"...and my ax," Kangin stepped forward.
"...and my staff," Eunhyuk exclaimed.
"Whatever," Sungmin said, as he proceeded inside the castle. He was frozen to death at the sight of the White Witch. He wanted to run, but he held his head high and kept up his faltering courage.
*in the castle*
"Are you...the Son of Adam?" Jadis pointed at him with her white magic staff.
"Umm...I'm not sure. My father's name is Lee Junhwa."
"THEN HOW DARE YOU COME ALONE?!?!" Jadis rose up from her seat in rage. Hadn't she said to bring along the others?
"What the heck are you talking about?" Sungmin asked, confused. "Can I just have the Turkish Delights and get the hell out of here?"
Turkish Delights? I thought he likes ramen. The witch thought. "Turkish Delights eh? You'll never have it! It's all mine!!!"
The boys didn't want to go to the last option. But they knew they had to do it. They had to fight for the sake of the Turkish Delights err-- for the sake of proceeding to the next level and restoring back the peace in Narnia and destroying evil once and for all. So, they all took out they weapons. It was the battle of good vs. evil.
Who will win?[/color][/size][posturi unite]
[color=#800080][size=large]So, the battle for Narnia (and the Turkish Delights) came earlier. The White Witch took a stance and prepared herself for what seemed like a mass slaughter of unassuming victims. Clearly the SHINee and SuJu members didn't know what they were in for as the White Witch held powers of ice beyond imaginations and she can whirl her staff into a pair of katanas.
"Let's just get this over with!" Heechul walked forward to start attacking, but Leeteuk and Jonghyun held him back. "Oi! What the hell was that for?" Heechul asked them, after falling to the ground, because Leeteuk and Jonghyun pulled him back a little too hard.
"Think before you go slashing your sword, genius! We don't even know how to use these things," Minho said.
"Well then, let's try to find out. ATTACK!" Heechul commanded.
"Alright, alright. No need to scream," Ryeowook retorted as he and the others walked their way over the center of the battlefield.
And so the fight began. Everyone tried to wield their swords and fight their best even though the threat of the witch was great because first and foremost, nobody wanted to be a wimp.
"Watch out will you? You're going to cut my head with that!" Hankyung exclaimed shakily at Kangin, who was slashing his sword at all directions.
"Get an aim! You nearly killed me with those arrows!" Onew told Jonghyun who was raining arrows all over the place.
"Ouch. Ouch.Ouch" Kibum grunted, as Taemin repeatedly hit him with the staff, mistaking him for the witch. "Could you-ouch...stop-ouch-...hitting me-ouch...with-ouch...that thing-ouch?!"
Just as the guys were about to give up because of the great power and invulnerability of the witch, the door came bursting and in came Aslan.
"Finally!" Kyuhyun said, exasperated. "What took you so long?"
"Well, I was in Starbucks you see, and they ran out of chocolate syrup and I can't possibly drink a frappuccino without a chocolate syrup. So I headed for a quest to buy one. But then this wicked witch of the west suddenly appeared and tried to steal my syrup! I looked for a bucket of water but I only found a glass of water so I poured it on her. But she couldn't possibly melt with only a glass of water. So, she locked me in a room where there were Oompa Loompas dancing ballet. It was an excruciating moment for me to watch. Then, they tried to force me to join their evil clan of ballet-dancing Oompa Loompas and the loss of my chocolate syrup was extremely hartbreaking," Aslan started top narrate his 'sad' story with such a pitiful voice.
"Yes, yes. I'm sure you must care a lot about your syrup if it's that heartbreaking to lose it," Jadis said sarcastically.
"Of course, I DO care. Anyway, I told them I will never join their clan so, they tried to kill me by flooding the place with chocolate candies. But these candies turned to big red, bouncy balls once they hit the ground. I tried to run as fast as I can out of the place. And that's why I'm late."
"That was the lamest story I've ever heard!" Kyuhyun told Aslan, who was trying to find a reasonable excuse for being late.
"Hey, you asked," Aslan shrugged off.
"Yeah whatever. So, are you going to fight? We could use your help ANYTIME now," Key said.
"Right."
So, with Aslan in battle, they were able to defeat the White Witch once and for all and peace and order was restored in Narnia.
"So, shouldn't we be getting the Turkish Delights by now since the White Witch has been defeated?" Siwon wondered.
"Oh yes. They're in the highest room of the tallest tower. But you need to get the keys first. It's up that pole," Aslan motioned at a very high wooden pole about 100 meters high. "Many people have tried to climb that pole but none succeeded. Some have even died."
*gulp* People have already died trying to scale that pole? What sort of crazy people would even take those risks?
"So, Aslan. We're waiting for you to get the key. Any second now would be great, you know," Jonghyun said with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Forget it humans! I'm outta here. I still have some business to settle with Starbucks and the Wicked Witch of the West. And this time, I'm bringing a bucket of water. Go get it yourself," Aslan said, and walked out of the door.
With no other choice, the SHINee and SuJu members one by one tried to climb the wooden pole. But none of them succeeded. They kept on falling or sliding back to the ground.
"This is hopeless. None of us can reach that key unless we learn how to levitate. We're stuck here forever," Yesung said in disappointment.
"Not quite," Onew emerged out of nowhere with a chainsaw. "Ha!"
"Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?" Eunhyuk exclaimed.
Why didn't we think of that? The souls of those who died climbing the pole in vain began murmuring to each other.
"Timbeeeerrrrr!!!" Onew screamed as the pole fell hard on the stone cold floor.
They then grabbed the key and ran to the Highest Room of the Tallest Tower.
*on the way to the Highest Room of the Tallest Tower*
"How... *phew*... long... *phew*... do we...*phew*... have... *phew*... left?" Minho asked, tired already from the seemingly endless flight of stairs.
"Not much. 500 more steps perhaps. It isn't called Highest Room of the Tallest Tower for no reason at all," Donghae said.
Soon, they heard sword slashing and a dragon's roar.
"Die dragon! DIE!!!" Beowulf screamed while trying to kill the fierce dragon, but it always gets the hold of him.
"Whoa! It's the legendary Beowulf! I saw that movie once. And that sword-slashing thing? Ha! I can do that in my sleep!" Sungmin boasted.
"No, you can't!" Beowoulf screamed back at Sungmin. The dragon was trying to decapitate him.
"Yes I can! Wanna bet? 50 Korean Won!"
"Dollars! I want dollars, man!"
"Fine by me," Sungmin said as he joined the dragon-slaying thing.
So, the others just watched and cheered for Sungmin. But he was beginning to lose his stamina.
"Pull yourself together, hyung!" Ryeowook attempted to boost him up. "You're a trained professional...I guess."
Soon enough, Sungmin managed to slay the dragon, where the sword pierced its heart. The sword plunged deeply, and the dragon died.
Since Beowulf lost, he was forced to give Sungmin 50 dollars and his extra sword. Sungmin was extremely happy of owning a legendary sword, but his happiness was only short-lived because when he took a close look at the sword...
"It's plastic," Sungmin said in great disappointment.
"I know. I couldn't afford real swords for everyone. You know, my people. So I decided to give you the plastic one," Beowulf explained.
"B-but how am I supposed to slay dragons and kill monsters with this?"
"You can't. You have to trust your friends."
"I'm never allowed to do anything by myself. Everyone's against me," Sungmin whined.
"Oh, come on man! It's not the whole world," Beowulf said and then he suddenly vanished.
"Yeah yeah. 'It's not the whole world' ," Sungmin mimicked to himself. ""HE shouldn't say anything. HE isn't the one who is forever doomed to fight with a plastic sword..." He took a look at the back of the sword and found the words written in big, bold letters: 'THIS IS PURELY A TOY. CHOKING HAZARD, NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THREE YEARS OLD. MADE IN KOREA'
*at the Highest Room of the Tallest Tower*
"I think I see it! The Turkish Delights!" Siwon happily exclaimed as he went over the table where there was a golden, gleaming Turkish Delight.
" 'Congratulations! You have just passed level 1. You may now jump to level 4' " Yesung read the piece of rolled parchment from the mahogany table. "This is it, guys."
As they took hold of the Turkish Delights, they disappeared into the Narnian world, and they found themselves inside a spinning vortex, which dropped them off in front of an extremely enormous castle of black and grey. It was surrounded by a moat, and at the right, there was a narrow lane which led straight into the castle. People were rushing in the castle in their black robes, books, and wands.
"Where are we?" Donghae asked the others, who like him, had no idea where they were. But one thing's for sure: There were five Turkish Delights inside that castle and they must locate all five to get to the next level.

"I think I see it! The Turkish Delights!" Siwon happily exclaimed as he went over the table where there was a golden, gleaming Turkish Delight.
" 'Congratulations! You have just passed level 1. You may now jump to level 4' " Yesung read the piece of rolled parchment from the mahogany table. "This is it, guys."
