The Mystic Village

Chapter - 1 : Revealing the Mystic Village

In 1416 AD there was a Kingdom which was unique due to its geographical location.  The Kingdom was behind a big valley with only one entry point on one side and a dense forest on the other side making it the safer Kingdom.  People say the forest was never explored completely.  The Kingdom was abundant with rich natural minerals, water and cultivation which made it self-sufficient. 

The King and the royal family of the Kingdom was well respected among the people.   One day during his routine tour of a village the King gets his eye on a young women and offers her to be his Queen.  The young women politely rejects the offer saying she cannot marry outside of their Village as per their custom and also she cannot marry a married Man.

The King ego is challenged and felt insulted before his ministers and soldiers.  He immediately orders to captivate the women.  Few people near by obediently and respectfully tells the King that this was very much unexpected behaviour from their King, who is their guardian and it will not do him any good.  The Kind out of the ego captivates the women and reaches his Kingdom.

The act of the King also surprises the royal family and the minister as well.  The King offers her a week's time to think and accept his offer and otherwise would be a salve queen in his palace.  The other Queens attempt to persuade the King goes in vain and he was in no mood to listen.

The young women was calm and still and does not have any reactive facial expressions.  

The next day in the Kings court, there came a magician.  After few impressive magic presentations, the impressive King order to felicitate him well and also offers him to be one of his court men if he likes.  The magician says that he would accept his felicitation after his one last trick and adds that this trick was his personal challenge always to test himself.  The King gets curious after seeing so many impressive tricks from the magician. 

The magician asks the King to present him with the most recent desirable to the King which is very near to him but not reachable.   And the his trick would help him realise the very desire.  The King was impressed and asks what can it be, an item, thing or human.  The magician says it does not matter, and insists that the most recent desirable thing, that is near but unreachable and he would make him realise.

The King things for a while and then orders his minster to present the young women in the court.   The women enter the court without any fear.  The magician looks at her takes out a hallo bamboo stick, points towards her and pull the air from one side.  Immediately she turns into a colourful wooden ball and gets sucked into the bamboo stick.  The magician then turns to the other side blows out the air from one end in to the open air and the wooden ball vanishes into the thin air into the mountains, everyone in the court saw the colourful wooden ball flying high and then bouncing down the mountains. 

The magician turns to towards the King and says this trick could have been played by him on the King or one of the Queens present in the court or anyone else.   He says aloud that given the Royal family name he has not done it, and adds that he kept his promise to make the King realise.  He also suggests the king to think how this act would make his forefathers feel and the very act neither sets good example to his heirs and people.  He also says that the young women was his family, whom he is taking back and also warns not to waste time in finding them.  Immediately after these words the magician turns into a bird and flew in the same direction as the colourful wooden ball into the mountains.

All this happened so soon  leaving every one shocked and surprised.  The King was spellbound with this act.   After few minutes the ministers react and orders the soldiers to follow both the colourful wooden ball and the bird.    The search goes into vain.

Down the valley the family of the young women waiting for their child saw the colourful wooden ball bouncing towards them and eventually turning back into the young women.  They wait for their leader to arrive and bird flew near by and then changing into a human form.  Everyone vanishes into the valley.

Tough the King does not order, the minster send their best soldiers to search for the magician and young women.   The only direction was to explore the unexplored forest, which they eventually enter and end up coming back to the kingdom every time after a long travel, irrespective of the direction they take.

The King realises his mistake and orders to stop the search and apologies the people for his act.
