The Cold Night In The Dark Forest 

The night is still very young but the darkness has already spread like wildfire ,  And a layer of very thin fog makes the darkness more and more darker . This dark seems like it ate the whole kingdom and the darkness will never fade away. .

Not so far from the kingdom capital Alisthina a dark forest remains unchanged from the past 100 years even though the capital is full with citizens and always has a problem   with less land to build new houses but still nobody dares to  claim one inch  of land from this forest . People call this forest The Death Forest . 

Many unwanted and mysterious deeds happen to the people  who ever enter this forest in the past and eventually all the people end up with a horrible death . So 100 years ago King Julius, who ruled the kingdom of Alisthina at that time, made a strong and high wall to cover all the borders . Even today  the forest still remains unchanged and unclaimed by any human being and  

Even nowadays many mysterious and horrible sounds come from the forest which can make any person sweat to death even on the coldest night of Alisthina .

But a person wounded Bleeding from all over his body , almost like his soul can leave his body any moment , try to pull his whole body with one hand and try to make distance from the Alisthina as far as he can as his life depends on only his one hand . 

But the dark  even in this part of the forest has very less density of trees but still feels like the black pitch dark he has ever seen in his whole life . 

He doesn't know where he is going. His sense of direction did not work in this dark . He just tries to move forward . many unknown sounds come from everywhere, even from very near he hears a very scared sound , maybe a fox or a dog but the sounds were very different from the ever  heard sound .  

But he does not want to go back nor does he even feel scared . He just wants to move forward faster and farther . but his body feels heavier and heavier every second  . He wants to sleep . He suddenly feels very sleepy . Maybe he lost too much blood . but he knows if fall asleep now he will never rise again  . 

He doesn't know what time it is . He doesn't know how far he has come and how  much further he can go . He just wants to sleep , a good night's sleep  . his whole body stopped responding in any sense . only one hand still wants to go further and further . 

Suddenly Hand touches something cold , very cold even his useless feet can  feel the cold . 

But he didn’t want to go back . He still tries to pull his body to the cold place . But his hand slipped again and again to that flat cold surface . he try best to pressure to a single point and try to force push with his useless feet . He moved forward a little but suddenly his hand couldn't find any surface to support the push fall .  He could not find anything to hold just like everything is gone and he is in the sky and he is falling . He feels very comfortable and doesn't know from where a sweet and very pleasant  voice  told him to fall asleep . After that he couldn’t stay awake . 

In another corner of this dark night, on the edge of this thick and terrible forest, the lights of the royal palaces of Alistina Empire are trying hard to cut through the darkness and illuminate every corner of the royal palace. King Oliver is walking along the highest room of the highest minaret of the royal palace.  Even though the night  is now deep, there is no sleep in his eyes.

The reason for not sleeping is a boy.  A very ordinary poor household may be 18 or 19 years old.  But he wanted to catch the moon. Even though he is young, he is as brave as a lion.  The king himself cannot help but admire his courage.

But the king cannot allow the honor of this empire built by his family and  his so much effort and hard work to crumble to the ground.  He will not allow this .

King Oliver can't accept that a carpenter's son seduces his daughter and takes her away . That's why the whole family has to end behind the darkness of the night. Nobody will know why the family vanished. Hahahaha -The king burst out laughing as he accomplished some great thing .

   But how did that boy with so many sword wounds manage to kill three soldiers and escape?  The king could not accept that his soldiers were becoming weak and lazy day by day. 

Even after sending so many soldiers to find an injured baby boy, why did no one take the news?  No, this cannot be accepted at all.  Meanwhile, the night was ending and dawn was going on .

After a while, General Lucas appeared before the king with his large  but muscular  body. Excuse me my king , all the houses in the city have been searched but the boy is nowhere to be found. Maybe it's hidden somewhere in the Death Forest. But excuse us, Your Majesty the soldiers don’t want to enter the jungle at night.  You know, Your Majesty, it's impossible to get out of that jungle alive.

King Oliver's face became hard in anger, but he only told the commander to be careful not to let anything get out of hand.  And the princess stopped going out of the house for a few days.  you can go now.

In another room of that palace, Princess Olivia is sleeping peacefully.   Busy dreaming of an unknown prince in a deep sleep, clutching a pass pillow on a soft velvet bed. The princess could not even know why a wretch had lost everything in the darkness of this night without her knowledge.  He lost his father who gave food to his family with much trouble, he lost his mother who put his hand on his head and put him to sleep, he lost his beloved little sister, he lost the only house in this world where his head is raised.  

Maybe the boy also does not know why he has to suffer . why the imperial soldiers suddenly came to his house and destroyed everything and killed his parents  . 

The Morning arise :-

When the boy  opened his eyes he saw he was lying down on a big rock under a big and  unknown  tree . The tree leaves are almost 1 feet long and a mysterious scent  is coming from its small white  but very beautiful flowers . And every branch has so many flowers that the branches are all covered with flowers. If the leaves were not that big maybe the leaves could not not be seen from the ground .  And the tree has a very comfortable shade . on the other part of the big rock is soaking in a very  gentle crystal clear  river stream . 

He feels his body doesn't hurt any more like all his wounds have already healed with his last sleep . At first he thought last night's crisis was just his imagination and nothing actually happened  . But the fact he can’t deny that he is middle in the forest . But then how will all his wounds heal ? Is it magic or does God give him a second chance to live? - 

The boy doesn't want to think about anything from last night . But his father’s that strong face even though a sword was hanging from his back and still trying to fight back with soldiers and his mother and sister’s scared to death face . The fire on his house burned out his family’s many undeclared dreams , Again and again displays on his mind . 

The boy tries to remember the crime they committed to face this horrible tragedy . but he failed to remember anything . 

Even though they were poor, they were very kind and helpful to the neighbors . His father always  helps others whenever someone asks for help . then why the soldiers said they had committed a crime that the King personally asked them to eradicate from the earth . He could not remember all the words from the soldiers . but he can remember things other than all the action . One is the King personally asked to kill his family and the other is he tries to kidnap the princess . but the boy never met the princess before and he does not even know what  the princess looks like . 

The boy does not want to stand although his belly screams of hunger . Although his nature is adventurous and curious, he doesn't care how his wound got healed . He doesn’t care about his surroundings , the mystery of the Death forest . He just wants to sleep like he is not alive anymore . He feels very very tired .
