"Hellooo? Is anyone there?", Murphy called out loud in the wilderness, her voice was shaking as she was trying to make conversation with the entity unknown and unseen.There was no response from the other side, the bushes were still, no one's presence could be found over there."Anyone there?", she called again.The bushes shook a little, as the giggling sound arose from there again.She took a step towards it and moved towards it slowly, with a nonoffensive gait as not to scare the kid away."Come out, we can be friends", she spoke out politely, walking towards the bush, "We can play together, come out".The bush shook and someone ran away from behind it giggling loudly this time, Murphy briskly walked up to reach the kid playing with her.The kid hid behind another bush running swiftly, seemingly in a good mood to play.Murphy's heart was sinking already at the thought of her being alone in a strange place, accompanie

"Come inside, why are you standing at the door?", spoke a soft and gentle voice, she turned around to see a beautiful girl standing beside the door, who had probably flung the door opened."Hi", said Murphy to her, but she didn't respond and took a seat beside the others sitting there already.Murphy was amazed to see that the epic beauty that they had, they were all flawless in their appearance, the glowing lustrous skin, upon which their cheeks glowed pink, the big and graceful eyes that they had held deep stories, each and every one of them was a degree more beautiful the other.There were few girls over there, four to be exact, she couldn't keep her eyes upon just one of them, she was shifting gazes awkwardly from one to the other."Still not willing to come and join us again? Still wishing to run?", the one with burnt orange colored gown spoke elegantly, looking straight into her eyes, her eyes held remorse and questions as she spoke to Murphy. D

"Yes I did go for praying, and I did achieve the successful outcome of my sacrifice, my father's life did prolong, his illness vanished away, he got health at the cost my life", she smiled while tears were trickling down her cheeks, her face held utmost satisfaction while narrating the story of hers, "I did triumph, I won at the ordeal of my life, I own Elysium now, just like the other of my sisters".Murphy was dazzled at what she was hearing, the stories were corresponding to the dreams of her, but none was making any sense to her, the way they were portraying their death as a matter of favorable outcome and success, or the matter of achieving Elysium.What she could remember from her dreams was a catastrophic and trickery death, covered by coats of slyness, where they were murdered ruthlessly, the innocence of theirs was snatched, while they could do nothing to save themselves from the painful death."But? How did you die there? You were supposed to pra

“That’s me”, she whispered to herself, going nearer to the frame and closely figuring out the details, which were exactly the same as that of hers.A wave of shiver ran down her to see that much similarity between them, she remembered when that frame was hanging droopy when she first saw the frames over there.Everyone was looking at her intently, wishing h

Fortune left the gates of the castle, leaving behind dark clouds hovering over it forever, which never found their way back to us.It was that day that they ran into a place while stalking the hunt, it was said that the hunt led them to someplace where the fortune gets corrupted, the light of the blessings was sucked from them, anywhere going there returns sacrificing something to them, a den of the ‘Fortune Demons’ it was.Which was long heard about in stories of the forefathers, but no one seemed to have any visual proof for it.
