Chapter - 23 All took seats for breakfast. Then he placed the Amulet on the table." Isabella's eyes widened. "Father, where did you get the Amulet?" "In my bandage." "Your bandage? but, how did it arrive there, I had given it to Alfonso." Dr. Martin's face grimaced. “Father, sorry, I didn’t get your permission, but I felt, Alfonso needed it, more than me.” “Don’t worry my child, you did the right thing or else, I would not have walked.” All nodded. “But father, how did it return here?” “It has served the purpose of protecting. If I am not wrong. he might actually be right on our door step.” “Really!!!!!!!!!!!” “Hmmmm.” At that time there was a knock on the door and Sanjo ran to the door and indeed Alfonso and the rest of the crew was there safe and sound.” “Oh Captain!!!!!!!!!! we were just speaking about you. But you were quick in returning. Did you kno

Chapter - 20  “The old lady’s face broke into a big smile.” “What was so special about the gift Rafael?” “Well, every time when the hermit arrives, he brings something unique, which satisfies her need, that brings the old lady lasting happiness, inner peace and above all contentment.” “Rafael, what is it, you are really trying our patience.” “Well, that is what he brought, patience.” “Rafael, are you joking? How can we bring patience?” Rafael smiled and nodded. “Yes Ajay, he had brought patience and that too which could be seen and felt.” “But how is that possible?” “Patience is one big thing, which is very important in every living being’s life.” “A mother has to wait, till her baby is out of the womb. A bird has to wait to hatch its chick. A child has to wait to grow, sun takes time to rise and set, the flower takes time to bloom, season has a time to arrive, trees takes time to bear fruits. And we have to wait to see the results and for

Chapter - 16  “Holy Ghost, what the ….. bloody hell is that thing?” “What happened, what did they see Rafael?” “Well they saw the most nightmarish view, they had ever viewed in their life.” “Rafael, please don’t drag it, you are really keeping us in a suspense.” “Well, the witch and the prince were not discernible they had become like rocks and water plants.” “Oh My God!!!!! Then how are they going to rectify this problem?” All nodded wide eyed.” “Well, it was not easy for the people who reached there, they didn’t know where was the beginning and the end. Seeing the hopelessness of the case, Christopher thought, “Captain, we are dead, ain’t that princess don’t know that she is working for a lost cause?” Alfonso replied with his thoughts, “Christopher, don’t lose hope, we’ll see what we can do. Either I die or live, we have a choice, at least we will have to try, shouldn’t we Christopher? And promise me, if I don’t come out alive, return to Dr.

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 - 13 “By God, I knew, there was something murky in that place, then what happened?” “Alfonso’s eyes widened, he tried to shout, but no sound came.” “OH!!!!!!!! Now what will he do?” “A dolphin came by and spoke, speak with your thoughts to your friends. They will hear you.” “A dolphin spoke!!!!!!! and did Alfonso speak with his thoughts?” “Yes.” “Wow!!!!!! Should I say cool or Is it crazy?” All smiled. “Don’t worry, Mark, we really can speak with our thoughts, that can be done, only through the language of love. When a son thinks of his mother, his mother knows and vice versa, when two lovers sit together, they do not need words, they are just contented. In short, thoughts are louder and clearer than spoken words. So now back to the story.” “Christoph………er…. Rojer… He yelled with his thought and they both looked to find, Alfonso being pulled into the small chest, Cristopher immediately took hold of him by his leg and Rojer, took hol

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
