HELICUNATION

In one corner of an island far away two persons were playing chess.

"move the bishop quickly or else your king is going to die" ,first person yelled out.
"so what first see your queen ,remember ? it is my move now", second person replied with a smile.

In another part of the island the sound of trumpets are heard.
"All hail !most noble king of all king Frank arrives",Rudolf announces .
A large collection of people stand in queque to have a glimpse of the king.They all stand in a queue over an elevated platform.
The courtiers all stand still as the king speaks aloud "i am growing old my people i come here to siphily to say this that time has come for you all now to know that i am soon going to discharge my responsibility to someone capable enough to administer my kingdom filled by all noble men like you".
The people were all happy and gushed when they were refered noble .They all respected the king.
The king had three commanders -one for administration difficulties ,one incharge of military,one incharge of foreign policies and principals.
The queen have passed a long time and now the king was old the declaration was bound to come
Some in the audience said(in whispers) "it will be jacob , king's daughter serena's lover"
"no no he is a mug "said one."maybe it will be johanas ,the kings commander of military".
A commotion overtook the crowd and the courtiers too began to see each other's faces .the king said "it will be decided later in the main hall of administration so please march with me to the hall".
The mob all in dozens went to hear the judgement.In the mean time kings daughter serena was enjoying her time with her lover jacob inside the palace restroom. Theirlove was a highly publicised one since jacob was johanas only son .But unlike his father was not as brave .
But yet serena used to like him for his looks the cool brown hair and the red lips.
Now away from all this there was a shepward who was rearing sheep in the terains of araphans mountains bordering the kingdom. He was known as shilone.His mother has passed away a long time and used to stay with his grand mother jessica.He was really of strange sort . He used to talk with the winds the clouds the rain the thunder and his sheep.He was someone who liked the fragnance of the grass and smell of the winds blowing over the corn fields at the base of the mountain.
He although was about twenty then used to get feed by her grandmother everyday like a small child. She was old and could not do much but still the lone and innocent face of the shephard used to spur her on to do all the house hold jobs even at her age.Shilone used to love his grandmother very much so much so that he used to call her" ma".
Now as the people in the village were all going to the king s palace her grandmother cooked the food and left with the other villagers to the palace leaving the shepherd behind since he was not interested.Besides there was a need to have someone home to do the sheeprearing job too.
Noone knew what struck shilone suddenly .As soon as his grandmother went out he also found a n urge to go with her . Now this was sudden her grandmother too her urged him to go with her but at that time he was reluctant and did not want to go . Well it was about five miles from there by shortcut to the palace. The rest of the villagers went by the rented bullock driven carts. The were all gone and he had to walk alone after getting the sheeps home as soon as possible since he went outside to rear them and on his way he found the urge.He had no knowledge of the exact route to the palace but knew the path that leads to the palace which once her grand mother had told him. He had grown up hearing of the bold stories of the king and his beautiful daughter. He was passed his adolescent age . He always wanted to see her.But alas!he never managed to do it she recided entirely in her dreams.
I don't know what God had in mind but as he walked alone in complete faith he after traversing five odd miles on foot reached the posterior section of the palace just beside the garden where serena was standing alone beside the lake.
For one glimpse he saw her for the guard s wont let him go .The shine in her deep blue eyes made him waver in his heart.The years of stories for one moment became true and for him time
stopped .And God bestowed on him the gift the love at first sight.He had never seen a woman like him and being innocent by nature he found her most beautiful and illusive .His heart beamed and made him to look at her again and again and come a little closer for many a time in his heart he had already said that "you are as beautiful as the rainbow which arises after the rains,i have seen you before my birth also i am ready to serve you forever".He said to himself" you are the one for whom i am born , i am ready to live and die a thousand times for a small smile in your rosy cheeks ,i will kill anyone who dares bring tears to your blue eyes".He tried to get in the guard resisted. the guard said "only those having permit are allowed".
He was dissapointed and enraged to a point beyond all human comprehension.He was not physically strong so could not attempt a battle. Seeing the dean at the door the princess arrived
and asked the guard "what is the matter?"
