• PROMISE OF THE WIND   Chapter five

  Faye,Danie's stepmother watched through the dormer window of her room everyday, looking at the princess as she played in the gardens.Her wishes had fallen miserably and that was making her sick each day that passed by.If it was possible,she could turn back time and ensure Danie had not been born. But perhaps it was too late to cry over spilt milk.She had not learnt one concept over the years and that was why her head was on fire. It was this thing of "you do good,you do good to yourself, you do bad, you do bad to you're."If she could master that, then she was bound to add on a little weight. Why was it hard for her to do good?One day, while standing at her favourite balcony, where she could day dream about anything, she watched something horrendous and this sparked a series of chain reactions she wasnt ready to take in.She had regretted at once fo

• PROMISE OF THE WIND   Chapter four

  Like any fairytale, it does not take too long for princes and princesses to grow but at least am convinced that princess Danie was no exception.Like any other child out there, she was breastfed,though by not her mother, perhaps you already know why.Instead,Faye had hired a nurse, Quests Sullivan who would take care of the princess' needs.Was acting like her father also inclusive? I think so, on the look of things.This nurse might have been somehow lucky, the pay would be good,being father and mother at the same time.If you think you have met the most selfish person in your life, think twice about it because I guess Faye takes the lead. Maybe what am about to tell you will change your perception of what self-centeredness means.Hundreds of centuries back, Holafia castle and the kingdom of Aramoor altogether had not been in existence and nothing like Davon

• PROMISE OF THE WIND   Chapter three

  Once upon a time,in the land of descendants of the wind, in the kingdom of Aramoor, in the Almatan world, lived a great king and his family in a beautiful castle known as the Holafia castle that had been built on blood and bone in the province of Davon.On a one summer after noon,it happened that the king was returning from a war that he had won and as proof,the head of the warrior he had defeated was being carried by his soldiers.From far, one would here the clash of metal on metal, the pounding of horse hooves as the chariots and the king's battalion that was singing the royal anthem approached the iron gates that led into the castle.Again the king had managed to add another conquered territory to his kingdom and as a way of celebrating with his people,he had invited everyone to a grand banquet at the back of his courtyard.Celebrations were all over the whole kingdom and later in the day, many w

  All that said,there was a fairytale, or rather a folktale of how everything in Almata had made a one-hundred-eighty degree turn, from what was known as the good old days to the bad ones.As much as there had been a number of tales in Almata such as The Tower of Tanel and the Giants, The Banshee and the Emperor, The Banquet in Daland, The Empress and the Flying Gardens,The Magic Lamp and the Genie,The Nine Witches of Savina, none of these was much talked of as The Silver Empress and the Charm bracelet.Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with having a happily-ever-after like most of the tales set in magical lands.Actually, it was some sort of infamous tale and so, do not be deceived by the words,"charm bracelet" as there was no thing like a beautiful lass spots a nice looking lad, and entices him using some magical charm bracelet.It was just one of those tales tha

• PROMISE OF THE WIND   Chapter One

  It all started thousands of years back in what was believed to be a mystical world,Almata, so far away from the earth, that it would take some centuries for anyone to get there.Almata was not like any usual place out there. No, it was magical from the word go, too hidden for anyone to trace if it even existed.Setting out in finding it would be the perfect adventure for anyone who fancied looking for the unknown whether hidden maps corked up in bottles at the bottom of the sea or gold coins buried under dead trees and left behind by pirates.I must say it was invisible to anyone without a heart as pure as gold.No occupant of this enchanted world would dare to leave because it was just very difficult and sometimes impossible depending on the state of the situation.There was always a strange, sophisticated sort of magic pool in this world's heartland that always pulled back whoe
