The Family Chronicles. Chapter XIV




Morning is like a morning. To be precise, "The accuracy is the true strength of the monarchs," today's morning was affable and tender, affectionate and sunny. Drops of water just ran along the fresh and bright green grass. The wind blew a light breeze, waving and as if playing with magnificent hair Llila. The weather was around like a painter's dream. "But as is known, always in the most beautiful and glorious days, the most horrible things happen." Actually, today's day probably does not belong to terrible or frightening evil intentions.
Exactly today Aeron III, King of the Meerkats, was especially difficult to find something comforting for himself and because of this the king's soul was compressed by tight snakes of doubt as to a crunch. Everyone was noticed this and Aeron had time to think on the way to the Royal School for the little ones.
Stopping at the entrance to the school building, the queen looked at her husband with reproach and interest. Her eyes seemed to say, "Why are you frozen? Is something wrong?" And the king decided to ask her opinion after all.
"Do you think we should do all this?" asked he quietly, as if exhaling air.
"I'm sure!" said she aloud and sincerely. "Especially you missed one day at all! How are you going to justify the absence of the second?"
"I'm not sure that this is the most important thing right now," objected he.
Aeron saw the sparkle of his wife's eyes and hurried to make a faint smile.
"Remember my beloved that there is nothing more important than the wisdom of our ancestors and their personal experience, as well as the knowledge accumulated by them constantly!" She smiled at her husband and added. "Today we have history lessons, chronicles of families and you should listen to them."
"Then we'll not lose more time," said Aeron.
He took Llila tightly by the arm and went into the depths of the school. The school building was spacious, covered with bright murals and paintings.
Usually Llila was very fond of the time and moments in her life when she could see how and with whom her children spend their time. Actually they were all just pupils now. The future monarch should know how all the inhabitants of the kingdom live who will be his future residents. Many centuries ago, one of the ancient grandfathers of Aeron III passed this law to strengthen the link and strengthen faith in their monarch. This law is an indispensable foundation for the education and faith of our Meerkats' people to this day.
"How quickly thoughts change today like sunbeams on the wall," thought Llila.
She tried to gather strength and begin a lesson. Children have long been waiting for her first words and have had time to greet their teachers.
"So, let's begin," said Llila with a pleasant and slightly singing voice. "Tell me the children, what was the name of the founder of our school and the first ruler of the kingdom?"
"Aeron!" shouted all the children together.
"What else was he famous for?" asked the queen and pointed to a little girl in the middle row.
"He. He was... He was famous..." began the girl uncertainly but she saw the support of the monarchs and continued calmly. "He became famous in the battle against the Supreme Evil, fighting on the side of the New Gods."
"That's right. Well done!" praised the queen her.
She wanted to ask the following question but as is known "Events always need the support of time". But the time for the question was missed because, at that moment, someone knocked loudly in a velvet-clad and silver-embroidered door.
"Excuse me teacher, I'm not interrupting?" said the friendly voice of Llewelyn right after knocking at the door.
He was the adoptive brother of Llila and the most famous jester or as he said he was the magician of illusion in the inhabited and uninhabited world. After the voice, his owner appeared who didn't forget at the entrance to play an illusory scene from the loud announcement of his titles and beautiful flares of fireworks. Now can definitely say that the bright and decorated with famous words, paintings, letters, the classroom became lighter and it seemed to be illuminated by a thousand lights. Smiles of children and their sincere happiness pleased Llila and made her heart beat harder.
The children were very happy, the organizer of the holiday passed along the entire room and sat comfortably on the back of the desk next to Ardiurium. Ardiurium is the eldest son of Llila who usually just loved to listen to stories of the glory and exploits of his ancestors. Turning and looking at her husband, the queen noticed how his eyes glitter like a ray of sun in a deep, dark and gloomy cave.
"Yes, he was glad of the arrival of the mage," she confirmed her thoughts and decided to continue.
"Well. Let's continue our lesson," said the queen with a quiet and confident voice.
And she looked at the children attentively and realized why her husband had such an innocent and ironic smile on his face. The children's thoughts were now far from the history of their cities and castles, far from the history of their heroes and majestic rulers. The children's thoughts ran through wide and sweet fields and meadows, forests and lands of the greatest gift of Fantasy which was returned by the New Gods and again given to all living beings. Children literally dreamed of their idol of the flesh and blood of Llewelyn, lord of children, joyful, sweet and sincere smiles. All their attention was undivided by the illusionist and Llila understood that she should act differently.
Literally recently, the wisdom of the past generation was remembered about how someone said that "Events always need the support of time" and actually the queen's time is almost gone. This is the power of prophecy, the gift of seeing everything in front, in its practical action. So now Llila remembered these words and she understood what she needed to do. Following the example of her husband, she smiled, bowed to the children and said.
"The lesson is over. You can bother him as you wish, because he interrupted us such a wonderful lesson," said the queen cheerfully and winked playfully to the whole class with her left eye.
Llewelyn felt guilty and he showed his regret with all his appearance.
After a couple of seconds, Llewelyn was surrounded by the smiles and fun of the most sincere creatures in the world.
"Children really love this mage," thought Aeron.
He watched their faces and heard another laugh because of the new joke of the illusionist.
"Have you ever thought that Allwunar is still not so popular with children? And this despite all his aspirations and kindness," asked Llila quietly her husband.
She sat down neatly at the table to him.
"I thought about it, darling. I thought," breathed out and smiled Aeron to her. “The fact is that the children love to play. So a strict, proud, self-confident mage, as Allwunar think he is, does not really like them. Well, don't forget about the charisma Llewelyn also."
"This is a good observation, my king."
There was a quiet and confident voice behind the monarchs but they already knew that Allwunar should not be mentioned if you don't expect to see him right now.
"Allwunar!" said Llila enthusiastically and surprised.
She tried to save a stupid situation.
"You're on time because we just remembered about you."
"Thank you, I heard," said the mage and smiled.
"I have a question! Except us, no one sees you? And this does not bother anyone," asked Aeron.
"Children are busy with their favorite pastime. Let them continue to play and I need to talk with you," said the mage and went to the exit from the classroom.
The monarchs winked at each other, looked quickly at the children, and went out of the room to a mysterious conversation.
The corridor of the school was empty and quiet. It was very surprising because there are usually a lot of children of different ages at school.
"Such days of calm and tranquility are rare," thought Aeron.
He took his wife by the arm and went straight to the mage.
Allwunar stood at the far wall and looked at a painting of a very ancient author who portrayed the messenger with an important letter in his hands.
"Today, the royal mage wanted to give us a bit of irony," thought Llila.
She came closer to him and smiled affably.
"What happened, my friend?" asked Aeron III with quiet and worried voice.
"Here is strange news or, more precisely, spy gossip," said Allwunar with an enigmatic smile.
"We are all in your attention," said the queen quietly.
"This morning I was feeling restless," said worried mage to friends. "And I decided to look to the most distant places to calm this feeling. But fate knows our plans and always wants to offer us its ready-made solution," said he seriously and continued. "So it happened. I didn't have time to take my Magic Ball and how it was necessary to concentrate, as on my door knocked. At the threshold stood our special spy from the barbarous lands of the trolls, Tkindrya."
"For a long time I have not seen or heard him," said the monarch quietly.
"I am too. I am too!" said Allwunar slightly raising his voice. "Here is another essence. Tkindrya informed me that the laws in the Barbed Tribe had become very cruel. Death is the punishment for any wrongdoing."
The mage made an easy pause, letting the surprised monarchs come to themselves. As soon as he saw that they gathered their thoughts and continued.
"Tkindrya also said that the troll army is preparing for some kind of verification on their borders and he doesn't like all this. In one word, very strange and I'm afraid scary things are happening there now," summed up the mage.
"It's trolls," said Aeron thoughtfully after a short pause.
He looked out the window with a sad smile and said.
"This means Llewelyn was right and this is the future. It means trolls will attack the castle. Here they are green with brown hordes like the sea breaks against the rock of our castle walls," said he in a low and thoughtful voice. "Yes, Llewelyn was right," understood he.
Aeron looked at his wife and friend, he could realize how surprised and frightened they were.
"You're right, Aeron," said Allwunar.
He guessed the thoughts or just read them.
"Llila, the sun and the happiness of our kingdom, please go for Llewelyn. Aeron and I will be waiting for you in the throne room."
"Well, Allwunar, I also see that the presence of a brother is necessary in conversation," said she.
Llila went to the side of the children who had fun with their idol and didn't know anything about it.
An hour or so later, everyone had time to discuss all the latest news and fill in the gaps in each other's information. There was also another very important conversation in the throne room.
If someone asked historians about when so many famous, talented, interesting people gathered together for the last time in this throne room, then historians would have difficulty answering this question. But we are not historians today, and we are interested in other facts, so we only mention that the throne room shone like a thousand candles and the noise stood in it as if on a theatrical performance. At the triangular table, that stood right in the center of the room, sat shoulder to shoulder Daytuarui II, Aeron III, Llila, Allwunar, and Llewelyn. In a word, there was very cheerful and different unity.
"So, let's begin!" said Daytuarui II loud and solemn.
The dragon looked around everyone.
"I think it is still necessary to sum up this story and think about what needs to be done."
"I agree with you, oh mighty king," said Llewelyn as always with a big smile and irony in his voice. "Who want to do it out loud, to collect a complete picture of the events?"
"Of course, you want," said Llila sincerely and encouraging interlocutors.
"No, it's better I am," said Allwunar.
The mage stood up from the table and began to walk around his friends.
"Well, although it seemed to me that all the views and the choice were on me," smiled Aeron sadly.
"Darling, you're wrong," said the queen tenderly. "Everyone would more like a more jocular presentation of Llewelyn, than melancholy and sad yours," said she and all laughed together.
"So, nevertheless, I am," said the illusionist in the affirmative and pointed to himself with his finger. "Well, the kids listen to the most beautiful and sad story about love, sorcery, villains and dragons." A loud laughter was heard again in the hall.
"We don't know much, but everything that we already know makes us think and decide," cleared his throat, began Llewelyn from afar. "One thing I can say with confidence that the prophecy, the gift of seeing the future is like a dice game because you never know exactly how you interpreted the events you saw. We know for sure that there were wizards and mages in the Aeron family who were able to see the future and accurately predict it. But this gift requires experience, skill and years of practice, so we should not believe strongly in this fact."
"Now you're talking as Allwunar," dragon interrupted the storyteller. "But where are your stories?"
"Here they are, my friend. It was a warning section and the story begins right now," said the illusionist.
He grinned and gesticulated, making smiles and collecting the laughs of the others.
"...”
"Yes, your acting is amazing. Applause, there will be unnecessary words," said Aeron.
They all made a noise, beat the floor with their feet and loudly applauded the bard and the illusionist.

Back2Amnesia By Cass Ark Galleas. (Poetry Book)

Back to the amnesia, back to a new reality. Each poem is a little story, inspiring be strong, never give up, be true to yourself and your dreams despite difficulties, losses and pain. They give us the strength not to give up our worst part and be able to accept you as you really are. Poems help to collect all the knowledge from the fragments of memory to understand how to find strength in yourself and survive in the battle. Look how worlds and their ideals collapse, it’s raining heavy drops, hurricanes echo distant events and words in our ears. But the stories show that it is necessary to stand on one’s own land and to go forward keeping good fragments from one’s old life in one’s memory. The poems are inspired for centuries when the honor and courage of a knight were more valuable than gold. One of them is a short story about great heroes, fortitude and their own pride, honor and courage. Other poems are filled with a struggle with their own weaknesses, doubts and fears, the search fo

How To Make Life More Interesting With Fantasy

Our fantasy is really capable of much. We can afford to imagine a lot. Our thoughts are part of our imagination, and this is a powerful weapon capable of changing even the reality. Our imagination has no limits except those we build with our own hands. Our thoughts are the original code of the universe which the ancient sages called magic. There is nothing easier than to close your eyes and imagine that you have your own limousine and hundreds of fans. Made? Then you need to figure out who you will be in your new reality. When we say the word fantasy, we seem to have a picture of mountains or forests, a flying bird in the sky, or even a raging ocean. All the elements are subject to our imagination. But it was not always so. Yes, fantasy is a gift, a gift to see what is not yet in fact. This is endless possibilities and a strong temptation. We can imagine anything, the history of the battle of the books or another continent from a travel magazine. Sometimes we need only o
