A miniature gift

A VALENTINE MESSAGE for my viewers:

Sometimes, LOVE is like the miniature dog - hold it too tight, you will squish it; hold it too loose, it will run away.

Like the wind

The war was finally over, but the enemy had won. The Himalayan people were oppressed and heavily taxed. Whole villagers were burned down by the armies of the Empire, temples destroyed and there were rampant killing of villagers everywhere and looting of their belongings.

On the night when the Temple of Sirius Crest were destroyed, the Matron dying from internal injuries, gave Enlil a spellstone to protect - because of the evil it would bring if it fell to the wrong hands.

Not knowing what to do initially, she quickly hid herself with the spellstone among the commoners who were by now ruthlessly driven from their mountainside homes. One night, while meditating by the beach, the stone lit up, illuminating the sky. She thought the light was good, but actually it was camouflaged as so , and was about to bring about a terrible storm. She saw the incoming storm, but it was too late. She harnessed all her magical spell to fight the evil, but it only consumed her energy, and soon she was taken over by the evil spell.

Storm after storm followed, causing great havoc to the people, wiping out whole batallions, and sinking cargo ships, the only lifeline of the Empire, in their trade with the wealthy Persians.

The Empire, sent armies after armies, to fight against the Stormbringer, as she was now known, but she was blinded by the evil that had taken over her, and the more she was infuriated by the sight of the Empire's army that killed her sisters in the nunnery, the more devastating the storm she created.

Then , the Empire sent an able magician from the Alchemy Dept, named Caleb, powerful in his own field of magic, and was in love with Enlil before circumstances forced him to leave her and join the empire.

Caleb knew that he must save her, though it might mean death to himself. Saving her could mean saving the entire humankind..

Due to be married to the Dark Prince Camulus , Eshara belonged to a royalty of god and goddesses that ruled the sea and land of Kingdom Earth. She was always wary of her father, King Teutates who has been given dominion over the coastal population and sea creatures, for being part of the scheme of non intervening in the affairs of humans despite numerous wars and famine, tribal rivalry, jealousy, rebellion, and lately the killing of each others’ children that threaten to wipe civilization from the face of this world. She had always supported her father’s decisions with pride but sometimes, they stood on the verge of apathy to the plights of the people, almost to the point of cruel silence.
One day, in the quiet of dawn,as she was looking down at the fishing village of Inuit, a sweet sorrowful music from a lute being played by a lonely sea hunter captivated her. Heartstriken for the people of the war torn country and desirous to know the man better, she tore herself from her lofty abode, and made the floor of the ocean her permanent home. Due to her immortality, she could only live as a mermaid (she was worshipped by the sea creatures as a goddess), but that was enough to get her near to the people that she loved and the hunter everytime he went to sea for his catch.

Someone Who Believes

When cancer threatens to eat your flesh away
And you’re kept awake by constant pain
Let me help soothe that inner hurt
And revive that illusive rainbow
Show you another pathway
To reach that dream
Only I ask that
You believe
You can

Words r mine (c)

As long as there's a someone who can just be there for the cancer victim, whether its the spouse, family member, friend or even the healthcare provider, it can go a long way to help the person thru the journey.
