For years, I had been incorporating facts into my fiction. They were the benchmark for me to build my stories on. The factual information in the fiction also helped me categorise my books correctly, e.g. in ancient and classical literature categories, which helped reach the Amazon best-seller ranking. Recently, The Children of the Sun, which I categorised as Indigenous, Historical and Fantasy, was another of my books ranked as a best-seller. I knew that it was mostly due to the facts I incorporated into the stories, making it a knowledge-based fiction. I knew my strength in telling stories was due to the facts I incorporated into them, and as I researched a topic, the story unfolded seamlessly. I realised that I was learning, educating, and entertaining all at the same time. Most of my stories are inspired by a 'higher hand. When I begin a story, words flow like a river. I then capitalised on the fact+fiction method of storytelling and came up with The Faction Revolution Module 1-3. I was fascinated by what I learned while researching and writing the faction way. There were so many key takeaways in the storytelling method that I realised how valuable they were to readers and writers alike. I am excited to announce that I have now published the module, and it is available to buy from The Faction Bookstore: https://shobanagomesbookstore.blogspot.com for USD0.99. I hope you get a copy. I'd love some feedback on the 15-page module. Thank you, and have a great weekend. Shobana

She woke up earlier than the rest and prepared to be torn apart by circumstances. Bound by the hope of getting the best, she would spare no chances. That wealth was the only light was what she believed. The lack of pride and might never made her heart feel relieved. So she weaved unreal dreams with an imaginary thread of light. Luxury came with ease, she thought in her fictitious world. During one such sunset trudging as she was to home, A sudden splash of water made her wet. From a carriage, which had caused this, stepped out a young man handsome. Discomfort and apologies followed then. He offered a ride back home. Time? He didn't know it flew when. Admiring her beauty, his eyes simply shone. Unabashedly, to her he proposed, leaving her awestruck. How could she then remain calm or composed? Was it really beauty or sheer luck? A grand festival in the name of love, attended by the whole town. Where perfection existed in every line and curve. Immaculate were her jewellery and wedding gown. For someone who had slept on splintered floors, and a hut where dawn slipped in without asking twice, she was suddenly met with Ivory doors, chandeliers, perfumes and everything nice. But now the huge walls intimidated her. They swallowed her laughter every now and then. Her smiles were measured and movements choreographed. Luxury had become a merciless cage. Where the size of a morsel held more value than someone's hunger. Disappearing while being in the room was seemingly the norm. An invisible crown weighed her down. The diamond necklace was beginning to tighten around her neck. Now the gold and glitter made her frown. Was she losing it? No one would ever check. One dawn, she woke up earlier than the rest, and left the mansion forever. She had finally set out to meet the best. On cracked roads she ran, and breathed in open air. Where days and nights asked nothing of her. The Sun burned her body, but judged anyone never, is where she found her solace. Where pain and sweat felt like hers. A once despised lifestyle, she accepted once again. No longer was she attached to riches. She would remain scarred but awake. In that tiny house, she found heavenly joy, where it didn't matter if she was extroverted or coy.

If I had realized that a frayed rope and a rainy afternoon would eventually shatter my world, I never would have looked up from my sketchbook on that first day of school. But I did look up, and when I saw the girl with blue eyes standing in the class, I didn't perceive the end of a story—only its beginning. My name is Jeck Aarons; I live with my parents and three siblings in a remote home outside the city. Each day repeated like the last—until the new school year began. Vinnie and Avery mocked me in class, my older sisters ignored me at home, and teachers barely noticed my voice. When voices around me tried to silence who I was, I found refuge in my sketches.” My sketch was the sun that spilled golden light over my life. Even this hobby, my father mocked me, saying, “Your drawings are pointless.” The first school day promised nothing until a gorgeous girl called Leslie appeared, introduced by the principal. Leslie's gaze pierced me; I felt strange emotions when I looked at her blue eyes. I tried to ignore her energy. At recess, I saw Avery, the class bully, annoying the new girl. “This race is just for boys.” Without thinking, I went forward, asking, “Why?” “Are you afraid of losing against a girl?” Lina (my little sister) cheered me on, saying, “Go Jeck!” I was the forerunner. I was going to win. Or so I thought. Abruptly, a blur shot past me. It wasn't a boy. It was Leslie. She didn't just beat me; she woke me up. On the bus ride home, Leslie came to sit next to me, and I wondered, “Are you following me?” I asked. Then, we got off the bus, and I found her grinning, “Yes, I am your neighbor, and I think you need to learn how to have fun.” I wanted to say no. But something about it pulled me in. We got caught up in conversation, walking until the manicured lawns gave way to forest, and we reached a deep stream. Dangling above the water was an old, frayed rope; It looked dangerous, but Leslie didn't hesitate. She swung to the other bank. Leslie screamed, saying, “The Dark Master was here—let's define our kingdom.” Just then, I saw mystical shadows that possessed abilities like those of superheroes. This energy sensed me as well. We loitered until we found an arboreal shelter; thus, Leslie said, “It would be the headquarters for the Lunavara kingdom.” Little by little, we repaired the arboreal shelter while continuing to go daily after school. Once, while we were in Lunavara, the dark master sent his soldiers. We felt a unique power descend on us, such as invisibility. By morning, in school, “help Mrs. Zoya,” Leslie said. But I refused, and after that, I found Leslie pushing me toward Mrs. Zoya. As she looked at me, I asked her Can I help you? Mrs. Zoya said, “Are you speaking?” She perceived Leslie had an inspirational effect on me. She even looked at drawings, saying, “You are really talented.” I want to show Leslie how much she meant to me. I knew she wanted a pet, so when I found a puppy adoption flyer on my way home, I brought Leslie to Lunavara—I gave her a puppy—then she hugged me tightly, her eyes glistening, saying, “I will keep it forever.” On this rainy night, while we returned home, Leslie waved me off as if the world wouldn't allow another meeting. That weekend, Mrs. Zoya came to accompany me to the Museum of Art. For the first time, I stood in front of those paintings and felt truly seen; she explained the history behind each one, as if I were her son. I returned home, and the air was heavy. My family looked bitterly at me. “What?” I asked. My older sisters sarcastically said, “They thought you were dead.” My dad said, “Jeck…” His voice trembled. The words struck like lightning in my ears. My pulse sprinted, pounding against my ribs, each beat louder than the last. The room tilted, the floor slipping away beneath me. It's Leslie, he whispered. “Your friend Leslie is gone, as the old rope over the stream… it snapped, son.” I screamed, “No… no… You are a liar!” I ran to my room, gazing at Leslie's drawer until sleep came. The next morning, I began my day with breakfast as usual, pretending that yesterday was only a bad dream. But my mum breathed, “Get dressed, we have to go to the memorial.” Leslie's father hugged me, saying, “Leslie was so lonely in her old school; she really loved you.” While I was looking at Leslie's photo, Mrs. Zoya stood beside me; I said, “Next time we should take Leslie with us.” The days blurred together. I went to Lunavara. I was calling Leslie, and I thought I heard her reply. I ran crazily to look for her, but I found my sister. I shouted at her, forcing her to return home. Then, I felt the Dark master following me. Instinctively, I thought he would attack me, so I ran in fear—I stumbled. I found my dad hugging me. I broke down. “This was my fault,” I sobbed. If I were here, she would not have died. Now, Leslie may be gone, but our cherished memories are in every sketch, heartbeat, and breath I hold.

"You can make it in the field, I'm sure you will be one of the best if you work hard as you did so far," the lecturer told Matchim. These words echo in her so vividly, rendering them virtually impossible to forget, even if she wanted to. It had been three months since Matchim Celia entered college, three months during which she hadn't made up her mind on the field to study. Amidst the crowd of universitarians, she felt lonelier than ever. Her life had become monotonous — the same cold faces, with the same cold expressions. Though having broken the ice with some mates, she wasn't comfortable enough to lay bare what haunted her thoughts – choosing the right field after the preparatory semester. Entangled in her family's ideals and her own desires, she felt like a mere extra in her own story. She searched for meaning in chaos through the walls of the labs, wandering between each. All over were rows of equipment and myriads of students skillfully navigating between them. She watched with starry eyes and a hint of bitterness in her heart. Despite their differences, they had something she definitely didn't — passion. "Will I ever be that good at something?" she sighed deeply. December was fast approaching, marking not only the end of the year, but that of the preparatory semester too — the moment Matchim had so much feared. Her mates were firm about their fields, despite numerous dissuasions from the lecturers for most. She, on the contrary, was just as lost as before. To crown it all, she didn't make it home with her parents for the end-of-year holidays and had to make do with video calls. They encouraged her to pursue a Computer Science degree, but then, there was a catch — she did not believe that she could make it in the field, given her limited grounding in the subject. While her fellows opted for formal sciences in high school, she made a choice she believed portrayed her better and was “safer” — natural sciences; but then, things did not work according to plan and she ended up in an engineering school. She viewed this as a twist of fate for not choosing what was “right” earlier. They believed in her ability to do it more than she did in fact, but that was not sufficient; she needed an external opinion which wouldn't look “sentimental.” The following morning, she showed up at one of her lecturer's offices. This latter welcomed and listened to her, unveiling all that was troubling her — something she wouldn't have done before. That day, she walked out of the office different. She knew her fears were still there, but she could glimpse the silver lining — concealed yet visible. In January, she opted for Computer Science. During the first courses, she was astonished by her own performance. Notions she thought were long buried flowed seamlessly — she raised her hand, answered questions, and turned out to be right. In the past, she would just watch her dreams slide by without at any moment daring to graze them. Now, a new world bloomed, unfolding possibilities she had never thought about. Today, she says, "Cheers!" to her dreams, and looks forward to accomplishing them.

If you moved around for so long like me, you'd know that people start to blur. New city, new school, new introductions. Same questions that accompanied the same careful curiosity that never quite crossed into knowing. After a while, I stopped storing faces properly. They layered over each other like tracing paper -- eyes borrowed from one person, laughs from another, intentions copied and pasted. Adults called this weird outlook of mine “adaptability”, but I called it efficiency. If everyone was basically the same, then losing them didn't feel like a loss -- just continuity. Nostalgia was never a thing for me. I didn't get it when people would mourn the past, reminiscing of younger days in strawberry fields or dim-lit sleepover nights. I'd sit around at lunch and ignore any conversation until it became familiar again. I didn't want to create new memories when I knew I'd inevitably move again. Every event was just the remake of a previous one but with different-looking people and maybe with an extra quirk or two. An example of a quirk that younger me would have given you would be my cousin. I tutored him after school, mostly because no one else wanted to. He was younger, awkward in the way kids are when they haven't figured out where to put their hands yet. At first, he fit neatly into a category: bad at maths, easily distracted, and temporarily arrogant. We sat at the same table every afternoon. Same workbook, same mistakes, and the same sigh when I erased his answers and made him try again. He had a habit of rubbing the eraser flat against the page until the paper thinned, as if he could wear the wrong answer away completely. I used to stop him and take it from his hand. His consistency was what made him so easy. But after a few weeks, his mistakes changed. Not disappeared, just shifted. He stopped guessing randomly and started overthinking. He asked why formulas worked instead of just memorising them. He corrected me once, quietly, like he wasn't sure he was allowed to. That annoyed me more than it should have. I kept expecting him to stay the same version of himself I'd already filed away. Instead, he kept arriving slightly altered. More confident one day. Quieter the next. Frustrated in ways that didn't match his age. I realised something uncomfortable: he was developing in real time, and I was still treating him like a fixed draft. The moment that stuck wasn't dramatic. He solved a problem on his own -- not perfectly, but honestly -- and looked up at me like he was waiting to see if I'd notice. My hand had already reached for the eraser. I stopped when I saw the paper; it was intact, no smudges, and his numbers were written carefully this time. And I almost didn't. Not because he needed my approval, but because I'd been acting like people stayed still long enough to be summarised. Like growth was optional background noise. I would have corrected him back into the version of himself I already knew. He wasn't a “quirk.” He was a process. After that, I started paying attention -- not just to him, but to how often I decided too early who someone was. How quickly I closed the file and moved on. I still move. I still leave. That part hasn't changed. But I don't pretend people are finished anymore. I often wonder had I had a slow childhood, allowing myself to watch people grow along with me instead of leaving them before the breeze could even shift, maybe I wouldn't have wasted so many potential connections with my cynical views. But now, I stop myself from sorting people too quickly, from labeling them before they've had the chance to shift. The last time I packed my things, I thought of my cousin's page -- his numbers precise, uncorrected -- and I left it just as it was, letting him, letting everyone, be more than the file I once made of them. Some people aren't meant to be remembered as snapshots, they're meant to be noticed mid-change. I've learned to wait a little longer before reaching for the eraser.

The sun was dipping low when their sandals rested in the warm sand. Seren and Theo laughed as they ran along the empty shoreline barefoot, laughter rising like music. It was their honeymoon — ten days away from noise, from deadlines, from the world. The island had been their escape. Seren ran towards the cliff, her heart pounding louder than the waves below. She turned to Theo, laughter in her voice, “Catch me, Theo!” Theo chased after her, their joy rising above the waves as they reached the edge of the cliff. For a moment, it felt like the world belonged to them until they noticed five masked men behind the rocks closing in from the dark shadows. “Phones, Jewelry, Wallets. Hand everything!” one of them yelled. They obeyed. They handed everything over, trembling. The gun fired. The only sound. One flash. Seren fell off the cliff with the wound on her shoulder, the water catching her like an open mouth in a single violent breath. Theo reached out — too late. She was gone…The waves carried her through cold water and darkness to an unknown, untouched island approximately fifty kilometers away. Seren opened her eyes to blinding sunlight. The air smelled of salt. For a long time, she didn't move. No voices. No sign of life. But it was the quietness that frightened her most. She glanced down at the wound where the bullet had brushed past her shoulder. Seren tore a strip from her dress and tied it tight around the bleeding spot. She was still alive —waiting and listening. She felt misplaced, a fish out of water, lost in a world that didn't belong to her. Night came slowly, wrapping the world in darkness. The stars above were countless, distant, and utterly cold. She pretended she wasn't scared but her eyes told a different story. Hours passed. Hungry and weak, she scanned the silent island. Just when hope began to fade, she saw fruit trees, as if the island offered her mercy. Coast guards, divers and Theo searched for her for 3 days. No body. No trace. The sound of that single gunshot haunted him. On the fourth morning, a coast guard claimed “ Movement spotted near a small uninhabited island. Approximately fifty kilometers west.” Theo's heart stopped. He immediately rushed towards the rescue boat before anyone could stop him. “ Please…” he whispered, staring at the horizon. “Let her be here.” As the boat drew closer, he saw movement near the shore — a small figure sitting in the sand. “That's her,” he breathed. Before the others could drop anchor, he jumped into the water. “Seren!” he screamed, running toward her. When Theo reached her, he hugged her so tightly that she gasped. She pulled herself back gently. She looked up at him with confusion. Her lips parted, “ I … know you?” Theo froze. “Seren,” he breathed. “It is me, Theo. Your husband.” “I don't think I know you,” Seren said quietly, as though apologizing for it. Theo's throat tightened. The guards arrived — voices shouting, wrapping her in warm blankets, guiding her gently toward the rescue boat. At the hospital, doctors moved quickly, whispering to one another as they examined her. After hours of waiting, a doctor approached Theo. “She's suffering from memory loss, possibly caused by stress, shock, or the near-death experience. She doesn't remember much of anything.” Theo froze. “But… she'll remember, right? In time?” The doctor whispered. “Sometimes memories return. Sometimes they don't.” Morning came. Theo brought coffee to her room, whispering her name softly before stepping inside. The bed was empty. Blankets folded. Seren was gone. The window open. Panic struck like lightning but there was no trace — no footprints, no note, nothing.

It was a bright, sunny day. The sky was hazy blue at noon when we arrived, and turned vibrant golden by afternoon, creating a breathtaking scene. The whole friend group had finally reunited since we last met at the restaurant, before everyone moved to various schools. We decided to celebrate in a forest by the campfire. Setting everything up took us two and a half hours. The beauty of nature gave me a surge of passion, yet the sudden silences accompanied by unfamiliar animal calls sent shivers down my spine. Everything becomes much more soothing when you have someone by your side. You just have to pray they don't run away if they get scared. The smoky scent of firewood burning and the fire crackling reminded everyone of their childhood. That atmosphere gave us this weird sense of nostalgia, which was odd because none of us had gone camping, let alone had memories associated with wildfire. We lit the fire and sat around it in a circle, playing truth or dare like we used to. The atmosphere was warm despite the cooling weather. Out of nowhere, clouds rolled in, and it started to rain. So we laid out the largest hot tent we had brought and moved everything inside. We switched to playing UNO, in which I won, of course. We made the loser run three laps around our camping area. Do you ever get that feeling that you're going to miss this moment while still living in it? This feeling does nothing more than prevent you from enjoying the moment fully. That uneasiness in thinking about the future, alongside how you'll never experience this again, makes your stomach churn, eating away the whole vibe all at once. The scene in front of you becomes like you're recalling a decade-old memory. Goosebumps start to rise on your skin, as if you're no longer real anymore. Looking back, I saw many missed moments and opportunities. I couldn't miss another one because of them. I tried to focus on the present, but my thoughts kept shifting back to those wasted times. "Food!" some guy in the back squeaked out in the most cheerful voice I'd ever heard. By the time everyone turned their heads towards him, he had already swallowed two chunks of meat. "Of course, he spotted food first – that guy has radar for snacks." "Being first is better than being last," he chuckled. "Besides, I brought my own hotpot. You can take some if you want." "Come here, everyone! Wash your hands and sit with crossed legs – we have to squeeze everyone around the table. We've got sandwiches, hot dogs, bagels, and ramen. Then we'll roast marshmallows over the fire with some hot chocolate," our group leader announced. "Why is it that you only eat meat? There are other dishes besides baked, roasted, fried, grilled, and broiled meat, you know. On top of that, vegetables are much cheaper." "Then I'd have to take a mountain of supplements, which would cost more than meat itself." We live to make memories — that's how we stay happy. Time feels fast or slow depending on what you remember. Sometimes a deep thought strikes my mind: Why are we here? Is this all real? If nothing's guaranteed, what are we working so hard for? I know my path, but still, something feels missing. Does it really make a difference whenever you have deep conversations or realisations about your life? Putting it all aside, I decided to lean on my best friend's shoulder and quietly observe the scene. She immediately moved closer and wrapped her arm around me, hugging me sideways. There was no point in trying to get rid of that thought; it would always find its way inside my mind. We started cracking jokes back and forth. After the second round of jokes, the rain had eased, so we decided to go outside and play tag. The ground was wet and muddy, which made it easy to slip and hurt ourselves. Luckily, all of us knew how to hold our balance thanks to ice skating, so we didn't have much of a problem on the slippery ground. Despite that, one of us still managed to slip and slide down the hill towards a puddle near an old wooden hut we used to play in. We went inside. The first thing my eyes fell on was… Coco Puff. My childhood teddy bear, which I'd found on the side of the road and sort of decided was mine. Well, finders keepers, losers weepers. Looking at Coco, who had collected dust, I could tell someone had played with her recently. It was clear that whoever found her had attempted to clean her with the river water, which had turned brown over the years. Kids – the only ones naive enough to do that. As I checked the drawers, hoping to find something interesting, I found a cool-toned pink notebook with "Lilly's Diary" written in the top-right corner. I turned the first page: a drawing of Coco inside a red heart. I knew I had to give Coco away, even if I had just found her after years. I put her back on the shelf and gave her a quick pat. She wasn't mine from the start, so I guess she's not mine to lose. We need to learn how to let go, after all.

Introduction Every particle in the universe has its place, and every event has its order. Creation began with the very first "script." Every invention and emotion takes shape as thoughts before they touch paper. We are made of writing—from DNA codes to the lines of destiny. Man is the most intricate masterpiece in the library of the universe. Every breath is a comma, every decision a new sentence. We are born to write, leaving indelible lines for the future. I. The Inequality of the "Starting Line" The book of life doesn't begin on the same page for everyone. Some start at point "100" with ready-made wealth; others start at "0" without even a pen. Is this a predefined "System" or a test of resilience? What matters isn't where the book began, but what is written within. Writing an epic of heroism from zero is more sublime than leaving blank pages from a hundred. We cannot choose our starting line, but what we write on that field is our own will. II. Human Nature: The Unchangeable "Code" Human nature is our internal law. I believe it is unchangeable. We don't learn goodness; we are born with it—the "signature" of the Creator. This world balances light and dark. Even "monsters" are characters in a script designed to test our virtue. The greatest art is to remain an "innate good person," regardless of the world's destruction. If our nature is gold, it remains gold even in mud. A writer must not change their style, no matter how much the world tries to edit them. III. Destruction and the Technological Trap Humanity is both creator and destroyer. In a world of "mega" and "premium," we lose our time and the meaning of life. Technology was meant to lighten burdens, but it has made us busier and distanced us from one another. We complete "tasks" but forget to "live." To reach spiritual maturity, we must slow down. If greed continues to prioritize profit over the soul, the world will end before our spiritual eyes truly open. True progress is returning to the value of human connection. IV. The Philosophy of Distance Society is a system of mutual benefit, but for spiritual survival, distance is essential. Helping others is a debt, but maintaining distance is mental security. Like letters on a page, meaning only emerges when there is a space (a gap) between them. Human relationships are the same: only those with healthy distance remain meaningful. We cannot abandon people, but we must ensure their chaos does not infect our nature. Solitude is the workshop where our script is refined. V. Destiny and Responsibility Being born a writer is a mission. It is about perceiving life with depth. My destiny is to witness injustice, remain human among "monsters," and leave these experiences as a "script" for future generations. We leave behind the "path of life" we have written. Others should read our scripts to learn how to remain good in a difficult world. We are the guardians of meaning. Conclusion Humanity may end before reaching maturity, but this is just a transition to the "next level." If we live worthily and keep our "writing" pure, we fulfill our duty. The Creator is the Supreme Reader waiting for the conclusion of a great work. We are the pen, life is the paper, and every step is a letter. Until the final page, let us compose every line with humanity, patience, and wisdom. Only what we have written—love and truth—will remain forever.

Dear Mom, I made it. I don't know how I did it without you, but I did. You said I would love it here in Kentucky, and I do now, but man it was difficult in the beginning. What made it even worse is that I knew you were the only one who would understand what I was going through, and I couldn't call you. I couldn't cry to you about the culture shock – about how much slower life moves down here, how no one is afraid of conversation, how everything will get done ‘when it gets done', about the one-lane hilly holler roads that gave me panic attacks every time I drove them, about the thick accents and phrases I didn't understand. I knew if I could just talk to you, you'd explain everything and make me feel so much better. But I couldn't…I had to get through it on my own. And for a while, I was mad at God for taking you when He did – when I needed you more than I've ever needed you. But then spring came, and oh my gosh – I can't tell you how many times I wanted to send you a picture of a new wildflower I'd never seen before, or a bird – you would have loved the birds down here. And the sunsets. And the gentle rains. And the way the fog settles in between the mountains in the evenings and rises as mist in the early mornings. How was it possible that such a beautiful place existed, and so many people had never experienced it? I spent so many summer evenings on my porch, just admiring nature, and wondering how a place that was so breathtakingly gorgeous could be so poverty-stricken and desperate. I knew that if anyone would understand how I felt, it was you…and I wished I could call you. There have been so many times I've thought about all the times I didn't call you…the weeks and sometimes even months we went without talking because of different issues we were struggling with…and I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the irony of it – because I probably would have called you almost every day, if not multiple times a day, this past year. There were so many struggles, so many weird moments, so many new experiences that warranted a phone call – like how the Walmart here is Black Friday every Friday, and there's such a thing as “Holler Dollar” and “holler dogs,” and the people here eat this cheese on their sandwiches that I think would taste better as a dip, and there's a native fruit call a Paw Paw that tastes like a cross between a kiwi and a banana, and kangaroo jerky is a real thing, and one shot of moonshine goes straight to your head, and almost everyone owns a side-by-side, and there are giant crickets here and five different kinds of hornets and more slugs than I've ever seen in my life, and one inch of snow is enough to shut down the town, and people will get mad if you insult their Double Kwik pizza rolls, and bluegrass music is wonderful, and did you know I turned 40? How weird is that? I'll never forget sitting on your bed, crying, thinking you'd be upset when I told you we were moving to Kentucky. You were sick, and I was terrified to leave you. But you smiled and hugged me and told me it was okay – you told me I was going to love it. And again, when I stopped at the hospital on our way out of town, you held me tight and told me not to cry, and told me again I was going to love it. Well mom, I want you to know – I do. It has by far and away been the craziest, most difficult year of my life, and it probably would have been a little easier if I'd been able to call you, but I made it. I'm grateful for who I've become. It's ironic - I feel closer to you, and more like you than I ever did before. I know your spirit was here cheering me on. Thank you for supporting my move here. I'm excited to see what this next year brings. I love you and miss you. Happy New Year, mom.

The nightwolves and shadows moved quietly. The forest creatures kept a watchful eye; when the wolves appeared, the winds howled, warning them of the grave danger approaching from the flesh-eating predators. “Quick, run and hide! The nightwolves are out hunting." The ground below rumbled as the animals ran helter-skelter. Oh, the animals rushed to escape the vile predators. Unfortunately, some were not lucky and got caught within seconds. Their screams broke the quiet of the night as they struggled to free themselves from the deadly wolves. However, in a swift strike, they were killed and devoured. The tall, dark shadows watched, delighting in the bloodied melee. The nightwolves were at their behest as they tore the poor animals apart. They left behind a trail of blood and a heavy stench of rotting flesh. The forest animals now lived in fear. The nightwolves grew in numbers and returned often to hunt for food. One morning, Tabby, the squirrel, ran to the King of the Jungle, Lion. He was worried sick about what was taking place. He ran between trees and foliage deep into the forest until he reached the waterfalls. He saw the lion resting on a rock nearby. Lush verdant vegetation created a magical facade around the waterfalls, while the sunlight danced on the waters trickling below. “What blissful haven!” Tabby was envious. His part of the forest had once been as blissful, but not anymore. The nightwolves prowled the area often and killed many of his friends. He had to find a way to eliminate their threat. The King of the Jungle sat up as the squirrel approached him. Tabby bowed in respect. The clouds shifted in the sky above, blocking out the sun. A sudden gloom overcame them. “Ah, Tabby! What brings you here? It's been a while,” the lion greeted cheerfully. He noticed Tabby's worried face. “What's the matter?” His voice echoed through the forest. Birds flew from nearby branches, eager to hear what Tabby had to say. A deer perked its ears. “It must be important,” it opined. “Your Highness, the nightwolves have been terrorising our part of the forest, killing the animals and coming back each night to hunt for more.” “The nightwolves and shadows?” Lion demanded to know in an angry tone. He thought for a moment. Tabby's habitat was once renowned for its peaceful ambience. A great sage had lived in the resplendent environment. When he died, his soul returned to live in his prized habitat. “Don't worry, Tabby,” the lion assured him, “The Enchantress will get rid of the nightwolves for us.” “The Enchantress?” Tabby asked, confused. He had never heard of her before. The Enchantress was the daughter of a deposed King whose reign ended abruptly when an avaricious King seized his throne. The old King had fled into the forest. There he fell in love with a liminal being—a beautiful spirit incarnate who lived among the will-o'-the-wisps. The Enchantress was their firstborn and possessed her mother's magical powers. Lion related how she had once destroyed a fire-breathing dragon. Her melodious voice made the feared creature fall in love with her, and, lovestruck, he met his fate when she shot him with an arrow between his eyes. “Hurry, let's not waste any time,” Lion said. “She will destroy the nightwolves for you.” Lion offered Tabby a ride on his back as they hurried there. The birds followed discreetly, gliding on graceful wings of flight. The Enchantress was sunbathing with the mermaids by the riverbank when they arrived. As the visitors approached, the mermaids disappeared deep into the river. Their tails created a mighty splash as they dived. “Ah, Your Highness. What brings you here this mid-morning? And who do you carry on your back?” the Enchantress greeted with good cheer. Tabby was speechless when he saw the Enchantress. Her incredulous beauty astounded him. “This is Tabby from the other side of the forest. The nightwolves are attacking his habitat every night. We need your help to stop them from killing all the animals there.” Lion replied. “The nightwolves are protected by the evil shadows,” the Enchantress informed quietly. “The moon will be out tonight; I will entice them with a song. Then, strike them dead as I did with the dragon.” As darkness fell over the forest that night, the moon appeared to gloss over the clouds. The Enchantress began her hypnotising melody. Hearing her, the nightwolves stopped in their tracks. “Who's that singing?” The wolves questioned. The shadows hurried ahead of them in search of the soulful voice. They saw a beautiful woman on a cloud of mist under the moonlight by the mermaid's stream. The magic of her voice enticed the wolves to fall in love. Filled with rage and jealousy, they began to fight over her until the entire pack lay dead at her feet. Tabby and his friends were finally freed of a deadly menace. The forest was at peace once again. The End.
