The forest of enchantments

The forest of enchantments

The sky adorned an orange cover, the forest of enchantments embosomed a crystal haze. As she walked through her way, the spirit of the enchanted forest held her hand and told her to stay.

The spirit warned her that the demons were looking for her. It replied they require you to break the spell. Siya asked how she was the key to the freedom of the beasts.

The psychic force replied, Decades earlier, your parents traveled to the outskirts of the enchanted forests with a portion with them, called the ‘Somras’. As they fleeted forward, the demons who lived nearby wanted to snatch it from them. That was the key to being immortal. But as they attacked your parents, they entered the enchanted forest. Their magic lost its power. Your mother had consumed the Somras and went into labour. The eldest resident of the enchanted forest predicted you were the eternal enchantress of the forest. Destined to free the forest from the curse and liberate everyone from their misery. You were born when the moonlight adorned the sky. The charms of the enchanted woods radiated embraced your feet.

Hearing this, his son wanted you and killed your mother and father. But his father cast a spell on him and made him turn into stone. The chief then fled with you to the town and raised you. Sia replied, “today grandfather sent me here making an excuse to get herbs.”

I don’t remember my power; how can I free the forest and liberate it from the curse.

The spirit replied look within.

Sia held her hand close to her heart and sang with all her heart. The spirits of forests encircled her. The crystal haze started to descend off the forest. The enchantress had united the realms of the earth and liberated the misery of the enchanted woods. Demons turned back to humans. Joy returned to the woods. Eternity smiled at them.

Sia smiled at her grandmother as she heard the story.

Her grandmother quoted at the end.

Look within. Believe in yourself and the power you hold in your soul.

The key to freeing yourself from your misery lies in the essence of knowing yourself.

She beamed and made it her new year resolution

To believe in herself!

The darkness that surrounds the thunder

Kindness in its bounds knows no ends,

To draw in its entirety, to be the light even when its neck bends.

Lapsing in its mirth, it gallops in serenity as it with love overflows,

But the pain behind its smile is the tale no one knows.

-

The humbleness that brims with the generosity in its spirit belies,

To be the light for everybody in their life.

The summer that sings in its warmth cries as the winter sets in,

The summer alas that sang in its glory mourns a painful death within.

Alas, congeniality in its bewilderment is staked at the hands of life,

The lament of existence mellows the death of its heart, rendered by a knife.

-

The heart that beats with love now bleeds in the darkness around the walls it draws,

Shedding every ounce of its tattered soul, no longer mourning for the radiance it was.

The spirit turns cold, as the darkness surmounts the tale,

Pain bemoans its presence, as the heart of gold turns pale.

-

The kindness that knew no bounds now withdraws its shield,

The torment of abusing its heart, now halls at you in its yield.

Never let the benevolent heart be abused around,

Fear the day a good heart gives up on you,

Because the darkness that surrounds the thunder knows no bounds.
