Five days in pain, Zane kept sleeping in his room as he tried to find some healing. He was lucky that he coughed quite a little bit. Alyssa was by his side. Looking after his every needs. She did not sleep as she would hold his hand and sometimes hug him when she felt very lonely. She wanted him to open his eyes and smile her way. She missed him too much. It was really hard seeing him like that. He looked as if he was a ghost. The poison inside his body had been neutralized with his own. He couldn't wake up because he was too weak and also it was a new month. For him a new month meant hell for the first five days. He would have headaches, chest pains, stomach aches and sometimes he would have his whole body writhing with so much pain.Alyssa sat beside his sleeping form as she watched over him. She yearned for his yellow eyes. Those past six days had been filled with nothing but sadness and worry. She worried he might not ever wake up. "Come on Zane... wake up. I don't want to see y
The next day Zane started strolling around looking for some fresh air. It didn't feel good spending a week in his room. Of course, he was accompanied by his love. They were holding hands as they moved at a pace that was slower than a tortoise. Might be exaggerating but still, they were walking really slow."Where are we going?" She asked letting him lead her to who knows. Zane smiled as he made a stop through the fog. Alyssa knew that it was the forest they first met. He lifted his hand and chanted a spell which removed the barrier that had been hiding that little house. "Where is this?" She was surprised to see a house appear from thin air. Zane pulled her close as they entered inside. Alyssa looked around seeing the dusty walls and floors. She glanced at the hammock bed before she was lifted up and put on it. He also joined her as they relaxed together."You didn't tell, what is this place really." "Used to be my comfort zone but if you want we can sometimes come and relax. It is
It only took four years to transform Zimicah from what it had become. They all worked really hard. The trees which had once withered were regrown and lively. The leaves were so green and the trunks so strong so different. The forests looked very beautiful and also made the little village prosperous. The fields were now promising and the rain poured on numerous occasions. The soils were becoming fertile due to the cattle that were feeding on the grasses growing in the forests. They increased also amounting to more cow dung. The villagers planted crops and food came to a point where it wasn't a problem anymore.Zane and Alyssa changed it to a better place. And in the way, they grew a lot closer to one another. Their love grew deeper. Their friendships grew stronger as well.The land they lived in now looked far more better than that fake world that had been everything to her. Now, this Zimicah was her real home."My love where is everyone," Zane asked whilst joining her at the center o
Zane and Alyssa were very thankful to the people who had come to their son's birthday celebration. They noticed that he was very happy as he played with Kyra and the other kids. The party had passed and all the visitors were going back to their respective homes.Early in the morning, the couple freshened up after having a wonderful sleep together. They prepared to go bring him home. The two knew he might not agree but still, they had to give it a go. "My love... why don't we leave him there? He is close to us and also Ekon will be very happy to let him stay. And on the good side, I will get to spend more time with you. Hmm..." He suggested hiding his true motive which was related to what he couldn't finish an hour ago."No, you're spoiling him too much and also I am not going to fall for that. I cannot enter the beast's nest whilst knowing what trouble it will bring. Look at me I didn't get enough sleep. I would rather let my son deprive me of sleep." Zane listened as he felt the exci
Sean felt so lonely and decided to go to the kitchen and look for his mother. He was so little and so his parents decided to leave all the doors open in case their little one needed to look for them. He proceeded towards the kitchen area as he peeked through the door frame. He watched as his father affectionately touch his mother's face. She had fallen asleep whilst leaning on his shoulder forgetting that she was cooking for her little boy. When Zane saw him at the door he put his finger on his lips to shush his little boy before guiding him to come to him. Sean did as told as he made his way to his parents, he was lifted on Zane's lap as he also looked at his mother's sleeping face. Alyssa had been deep in her sleep. Last night she had not taken enough sleep so after he had told her what he admired about her, he had coaxed her to sleep.She was having quite a lovely dream until she was led on a lane back to that fake Zimicah.She suddenly discovered that she had been brought to tha
If Zimicah is viewed on the highest mountain in the area, the people would say that it is a lovely paradise. The dense colourful forests gave an aesthetic effect that attracted most animals and varieties of birds, some white, pink, black any kind that could be found on the planet earth. They could be in different sizes, some giants and some small. All the impossible could be seen on this tiny nation. It is such a beautiful place with much surprising entities living on its grassy surface. The society was at the centre of the forests, with few people residing in it. Houses were built spaced from the next one as all of their grassy roofs took shade from the giant trees that could almost reach the blue skies. Ever since it had been founded, Zimicah had nurtured a maximum of six Chiefs who were all blood related, each with different styles on how they reigned over the tiny nation. It is after fifty years and the time has come, time for the new generation to take over where they had all
"Once upon a time, a man wandered around a vast land, looking for a home he could call his own. He passed through icy lands, grassy fields. He encountered vicious animals that tried to rob him of his life. What he only thought of was to find that place he had seen in his dream.Those gigantic trees that could almost reach the skies. Those flocks of birds dancing around those trees. Those lions that fed on mushrooms. A land where there is peace and harmony.He travelled for some years until he reached that place as he gazed at it from the top peak of a mountain. He just flexed his lips as the word 'Zimicah' sounded from his mouth. He was ...."The little chatters from the children who sat on the ground listening attentively, made the teen telling the tale feel content as she shared the story that had made her jittery when she was still their age.They were under a tree shade, taking temporary cover from the scorching sun. The six toddlers surrounded the story teller each folding their
"Aly come over!" Adanna voiced, concerned for her friend.Still sitting on the same spot, Alyssa was drenched like a wet kitten after bath, her black hair dripping with cold water. Her face wet with tears running on her cheeks. She looked up still waiting for her gift.'Why isn't it here?'She murmured to herself as the rain continued to pour harder, making her clothes stick to her skin. She was freezing and felt very lonely. Why hadn't she received anything yet. Why was it even raining. Why is that everyone suddenly cast her aside. Confused and agonized, she ignored her dear friend's call.Seeing that she wouldn't take shelter from the rain, Adanna took an umbrella and ran to her side. Shielding her from those hateful droplets. It had to shower on this auspicious occasion. Pouring from the clear sky. Nothing like it had ever happened before. Hugging and comforting the other, Adanna vented at the villagers who were treating her friend as if she was a total stranger. More like a contagi
