The Beginning

Deep into the clouds, above the places where no man has ever put his feet, a castle was rising out of the mess of colors, out or the silent charcoal curtain that sunset was. It was built on a big dark, gray cliff, flying into the clouds. From distance, it looked like a small, magical island abandoned into the sea of wishes, into a deep sea of clouds made from dreams. The castle laid like an old man of the slope, the moonlight shone on his jagged, tumble down face. Greenery clung in the antiquated shade dividers like a straggly beard. The icy sodden air wrapped around him was swallowing the circular towers and making them glisten with ice in the crystal cold air, as their ragged outlines were blending into the deep fluffy clouds. Its beauty and darkness was beyond human creation, even beyond human’s imagination. There were several cherry threes surrounding the castle like incredible armed forces shielding their fortress. Their defensively covered trunks connected noticeable all around the castle, into the air, protectively. Their extraordinary branches made out of hard iron watched and guarded the passage and the castle as it was a small child who needed protection.

If you look at the castle from the distance you would probably think that it is more ancient than any bone left into the soil, like it was a forgotten figure from another time, another dimension. Like it was a toy of the Ancient Gods, who moved somewhere else and forgot their favorite toy here. And the clouds made a decision and promise that they will keep the castle save until the Gods return, so they surrounded him and protected him from everything else!

That night, when the stars were kissing the darkness of the sky, decorating it like the most exquisite jewels, when the dark colors of the night were painting the pinky, shy clouds into more luxury, vivid, dark blue colors, a sudden, inexplicable light burst out of the major tower of the castle, interrupting the peaceful harmony that was ruling.

*******************

The inside of the castle was beyond explicable. In the main tower, two people were sitting inside what looked like the most ancient, magnificent and magical room in the world! This main circle tower had a spiraling stairs. And if you were intruder, there was no way that you were going to pass them. They were spreading and spreading, and you were going up, and trying to climb them, but they were keeping you in circle until you realized that they were endless, and that there was no way that you were going to get to the chambers, so eventually, you would give up. That’s because these chambers were the chambers of the main wizard. In one occasion, the wizard through laugh said to his friend:

Oh my dear, if this endless fort of stone, built on blood and bone, could talk, you'd beg for deafness. If you could only hear the whispers of the ages, the tales that they have to tell you about the lives lost and deaths of agony no-one should ever feel, you will go mad! You will go mad even if you hear the echo that is around the staircases of the twisted rock. Such a great amount to say and no ears willing to listen, no spirit willing to feel the torment that exists in.

His friend then just smiled and said: Yes, indeed. I get your point.

Today, in that same chamber, two people were standing and discussing. The atmosphere and their conversation looked relaxed, but the tension among them, the uncertainty was so deep, so profound, that if it was visible for the naked eye, probably you would be able to cut it with a knife.

The chamber in which they were standing was beyond magnificent. The ceiling of the room was very high, like the ones from the 19th century, when high ceilings were dominating. The whole ceiling was covered with amazing symbols, interesting decorations and even more stunning designs. They were incredible, so magical, so unique, and so divine. If you looked closely at them you would notice that they were ‘breathing’, they were moving and glowing. The entire ceiling was ivory white and the symbols, pictures, decorations and designs were golden and moving. In the middle of the chamber, right in the center there was a tree, a breathtaking golden tree whose branches were spilling over the circular ceiling, blending in with it, and becoming one. In the middle of the trunk of the tree there was a hole, and in it, there was a crystal. The crystal was glowing, like the whole power that was controlling that place and giving life to the entire ceiling was coming from that crystal precisely.

In front of the tree, there was one small, high book table, made from oak. Around 20 centimeters above this book table, there was a golden magical book flying, just floating in the air! Almost every walls of the chamber (except for one) were made from endless old, mahogany bookshelves. They were filling the air with magic, with something that made the old chamber feel like home. Their scent had unique formula: dust and wisdom, paper and creativity, ink and emotion. On closer investigation the books were ordered by substance and afterward, arranged inside of their classes. The leather spines were lined so perfectly, that you will have no heart to take some book out of there, because you wouldn’t want to mess up their perfection! So much beauty, so much stories, so much wisdom, in only one place, how wouldn’t it be magical?

In the middle of the room, right in front of the small book table, and the magical book that contained all the wisdom in the world, were standing two figures. They were moving so slowly, so easily, like they were floating. One of them was a man: He was very old, probably in his seventies or eighties. His hair was very long, up to his waist, just like his beard. Both his hair and beard were white as milk. He was wearing some kind of dark, blue cloak, so long that it was dragging after him when he was walking. The cloak was made from some rough material, fireproofed, and waterproofed. It had a hood too, which the wizard used very often. He looked so old with her on! In his old shaggy, wrinkled hands covered with freckles he was holding one big magical stick. On the top of this stick there was a stone / crystal similar to the one in the tree. The grip of his magical stick was very long and straight, and at the end it was going spiral. Inside the spiral was lying the crystal. The wizard had its stick for ages, and he was the only one who was able to hold it.

Next to the wizard stood Alena, his dear friend. She was more amazing than anyone! She was always wearing tight, long dresses, with corsets, and big, light blue cloak. Both her clothes and her cloak were always matching and were in light, spring, pastel colors, often decorated with flower designs made from precious stones and crystals. Her hair was similar to the Disney Princesses’, it was long, curly and Scandinavian white. She was always wearing gorgeous, breathtaking, crystal jewelry in it. Her skin was pale, white like the snow, her eyes were blue like the ocean, and her lips were red like an autumn apple. Around her neck she was always wearing small, striking necklace made from white gold and sapphire. She had a matching earrings too. Her hands were soft like silk, her walk was smooth like gazelle’s. On her left hand she had a magical ring
