Chapter - 15 “ Christopher nudged Alfonso with his snout, he was actually a dolphin now. So Alfonso straddled on him and all the crew followed the princess to a cave and the force with the water was coming, it was very difficult to get into the cave.” “Oh!!!!!!!! so its good, that they became fishes or else, how could they have got in?” But Alfonso held on to Christopher tightly and they travelled for sometime. “Alfonso, how come you didn’t transform and we did? forget I asked. Now I know, why this many years, no one was able to help this princess. They might all be becoming fishes” Christopher spoke to Alfonso with his thoughts. “But Rafael, how did the princess stay young and not died?” “Good question, Mark. There is a formula in this nature, if you have a duty to fulfill, if you have a wish to be fulfilled, you would live until it is fulfilled. Not months, or years, sometimes, it would pass on to the next lives because that wish or that duty is imprinte

Chapter - 12 “But how did the ship sink, Rafael?” “It was Dinocephalosaurus, who did the trick.” “Dinocephalosaurus!!!!! What is that, Rafael?” “A bizarre marine reptile used a neck nearly twice the length of its body to capture its prey,  and it lived 230 million years ago on the face of this Earth.” “You mean to say, the extinct species of Dinosaur? But how come it came in the Pacific ocean?” “As the ship was going down, Alfonso and his team, was surprised to note, that they didn’t have any problem to breathe. They could see everything clearly. They were very happy too. The ship landed on gold coins.” “Wow!!!!!!! That’s simply superb. And what about the creature?” “Well, there was no creature, it was only its soul wandering around that place, it gets energy to suck water every 1000 years and immediately, when it gets the power, it sucks and that is when the ship gets sucked, then its again soul.” “Rafael, is it true, that there are souls w

Chapter - 11 “Rafael,  what was inside the bag ?” “It was Alfonso's coin bag, which he had placed on the clinic table and with it a small pouch.” “A small pouch? what was inside it Rafael?” “An Amulet.” “Amulet? What does that mean?” “It’s an object to ward off evil. Here it was a medal on a gold chain, there was a message along with it, “I have a feeling, that you would need it very badly than me, the very moment you see this, wear it, don’t delay. It’s a prayer medallion, Pleaaaaaaaase.” “Wow!!! but do you believe in all these amulets  Rafael, is it true, that it would ward off evil?” “First and foremost, be known that all things are made of atoms and atoms are invisible vibrations. It is formed by the power of your thought and when you think good and when you with the power of your thought pass on the love which comes from the inner soul to the person who wears this medallion, or any things around you, it would natural become an a

Chapter - 10  “Well the criminals, were more dead inside than alive.” “Rafael, what does that mean?” “Simple, when you say something to your friend, if you ask something to your friend and if they do not respond, not once or twice or thrice, what would you do the fourth time?” “Rafael, fourth time, there won’t be a third time, that person is a dead man, we’d just forget him.” All nodded. “That’s what happened to these people too, they just turned their face, when their soul spoke to them, making it silent.” “Oh!! how sad, now can’t they revive the soul?” “Yes Monica, something very drastic should happen to them like fall in love or get hurt that really would cripple them, only then they would realize, what they are or else, (Rafael nodded his head in resignation) they would always be in the prison of the body with no hope to live. But there is a tragedy in it too, the actions they had done would come to repay and that is when they would really r

Chapter - 8 “Giving a pouch of gold to both Juan and Sanjo, he turned to Dr. Martin and said, Sir, we’ll try to return at the earliest and don’t feel bad in making Juan and Sanjo work. By the time, I hope you’d heal and start to walk, while I return.” “Alfonso, I’m glad to hear, you decided to return  and no problem, in asking Juan’s and Sanjo’s help. I’d be glad of their company. But before your departure, I need your help, Alfonso.” “Speak up sir, what can I do for you?” “Could you please shift me to my home? I would have my privacy and no one would disturb me there. I know, at this hour no carriage could come our way, but I have only you people to ask.” Alfonso smiled and nodded. He looked at others and all nodded, within no time, the last light was down darkening the clinic and the whole group moved talking and joking.” “Rafael, what happened?” “Well, Dr. Martin, was as light as a feather, when compared to Rojer and it was not a big deal to make

Chapter - 7 “Father, I’m glad to see that you are well and fine. Turning to the crew members, she spoke smilingly, Yes, father I met these young gentlemen, who helped me patch up all your limbs in place. Do you think, I could do it singlehandedly?” Dr. Martin’s eyes lighted up with mirth. I can imagine that, with all bloody blood flushing around the place, these men messed in it? Good. I forgot to ask in the first place, Alfonso, what made you come here? All looked at each other. “It was a case of food poisoning father, I treated Rojer and he is fine now.” All looked relieved, but Alfonso’s fist tightened, Isabella could feel his tension, but she didn’t acknowledge it, she smiled sweetly at him and looked at her father and spoke, “Father, these gentleman do not have any known people here.” “Aah!! that’s good. So now I got an opportunity to welcome you gentlemen, to my home to stay. He turned to Isabella and spoke, “Bella, you take them home immediately and ask

Chapter - 6 “Rafael, I’m really getting scared. Let me cross my fingers.” All smiled. “Don’t fear Rebecca, that is not very good for our body, the root cause of many diseases like acidity, head ache, stomach disorders, shoulder pain, high blood pressure and sometimes strokes and brain haemorrhages too happen due to fear. ” “Oops!! thank you, Rafael, next time, I’ll make sure that I quit fear.” All smiled. “Good, now shall I say, what they replied?” “Yes, please do.” “Maam, we tinker around high waters with our ship.” “And what type of tinkering? fishing? or sea diving?” “Well, to be exact, fortune hunting.” “I don’t deny the ocean isn’t a treasure house, but don’t you think, it would be better if you could search for your treasure here? With your two strong hands, you can work hard and a mind so clear and an attitude so straightforward, you are surely going to be winners.” Alfonso spurted his coffee and started coughing.  All the crew gape

Chapter - 1 “Rafael, I would like to become an astronaut, what should I do?” All smiled. “Its good to have an aim in life Ajay, but there are things, first you should know before you think of a goal?” “Really, that I didn’t know.” All nodded. “Yes Mark, the best way to make you known your aim is through a story.” “Great Rafael, we are ready.” All nodded. “Once upon a time, there lived a Pirate, named Alfonso, who wanted to help the poor.” “Rafael, a pirate is a man who loots. He is not a saint and you say, he wants to help poor. Really Rafael, you have really a weird sense of imagination.” All smiled. “Thanks for the compliment, Mark. But it is true, this pirate wanted to help the poor, but circumstances forced him to loot. So he had been looting from age 12. He was never able to get out of this web. Every sleeping hour and the waking hour, the first thought was help the poor.” “But Rafael, in water, where is the poor, except the people
