The Night Of Hope

Introduction

Once upon a time there used to be a Kingdom "Cerulean" which was ruled by "James" and his wife was "Victoria". James was a kind brave and strong King and all the other kingdoms were feared by James but he never raged a war upon the neighbouring kingdoms. The King had a son named "Peter" who was at the age of getting married. Peter was a kind of brave, courageous, intelligent kid. He was very kind towards the flora and fauna and respected nature a lot.

The King "James" and the Queen "Victoria" both wanted their son to get married and take up the kingdom's rule over their shoulders. Unfortunately, Peter didn't want to get himself tangled up by the responsibilities of the King rather he wanted to live a adventurous life for himself and fall in love with a girl who loves him seeing his talents not his post. So, "Peter" made up a plan to escape from the kingdom.

When everyone in the kingdom were having a peaceful sleep in the night Peter according to his plan escaped from there and went far away from the kingdom. The next morning when King and Queen woke up they came to know about the news of their son was not in his room. They sent their soldiers to look for him around the kingdom but they couldn't find him and soon they came to know that their son had escaped from the kingdom. So the King sent his soldiers out of the kingdom in search of 'Peter'.

As "Peter" went away from the kingdom he built a small camp in the middle of the forest to live for the night. After setting up a camp "Peter" went in search of food, while he was searching for food he came to see a situation where a baby horse trapped in a quicksand and crying loudly to escape from there. Seeing this "Peter" felt pity towards the situation of horse and went to help it escape from the quicksand.

As he moved towards the quicksand he noticed that he may also gets trapped, so now he quickly observed his surroundings and he noticed some vines of a tree. Quickly he made a plan and cut the vines of the tree and tied to one another and made a rope then he threw the rope towards a branch and tied one end to a strong tree and the other to his waist. After setting up the vines he moved quickly towards the baby horse and helped it to escape the quicksand. After helping the horse he caressed the horse and bid a farewell to it and went to search for food.

As he was searching for food he noticed some rattling behind his back and someone was following him. Even though he knew someone was following "Peter" headed straight for some extent but the sounds did not stop. Suddenly when he turned back he came to know that, the baby horse which he rescued earlier was following him. Seeing this he smiled and caressed the horse and took it along with him and named it "Max".

Journey Starts

The next day morning Peter along with his new companion Max started their journey with no end. As they were walking, the forest seemed to be very quiet that even the howling of the wind could be heard. The quietness was very suspicious for Peter, ignoring the fact he moved on. At some place Peter noticed that there were bones of animals scattered around the path on which they were moving. Even though the scene was scary to watch, Peter headed straight on his way. Then suddenly Max stopped coming along with Peter, noticing this Peter stood there and moved towards Max. As Peter moved towards Max but as he moved every step forward Max moved backwards with fear in his face. Peter also noticed some footsteps of third person other than his and Max.

Hearing those footsteps Peter understood that Max was scared of something which was behind him so he quickly turned backside and saw a huge creature which was very scary to look at. It seemed to be an unknown and little bit strange creature which had fangs that of like a tiger but far more big, wings like bats but huge, a massive body like an elephant and had short legs. Seeing the creature, Peter understood that, that creature may be responsible for the quietness, bones of animals and the fear in Max's eyes. While Peter was observing the creature carefully, it attacked Peter suddenly, which couldn't be dodged by the Peter. With that attack Peter fell onto the ground unable to get up and then once again the creature seem to attack Peter, but this time it seemed to somewhat devour him. Watching the creature coming to attack him, Peter was helpless and then suddenly Max made a sound which distracted the attack of that creature and quickly threw a rope to the hands of Peter. Peter understood the motive of Max and hence grabs the rope firmly. Confirming the grip of Peter, Max made a quick run and escapes from the creature.

Ensuring that they were safe Max stops running and halts there and goes near to the Peter. Max slowly started licking Peter, seeing Max's action Peter slowly caressed him tries to get up. But Peter was unable to get up as the injury made by the creature was very brutal. Then suddenly there was something rustling in the bushes. Max stood confidently front of Peter to protect him. For their amazement there was a small Rabbit jumped out of the bushes with something in its mouth. Peter and Max sighed in a relief and that rabbit went near to the Peter's injury and applied some leaves on it which it brought in it's mouth. Peter understood that the Rabbit was helping him to restore his injury and Max stood there watching the actions of Rabbit. After applying the leaves, the Rabbit stepped backwards and then, Peter heard a voice stating "Boy what is your purpose in this part of forest?". Peter was shocked hearing the voice and started to observe the surroundings but except Max and the Rabbit no one was present there.

The Strange Voice

Hearing the strange voice Peter was seeing everywhere from where it was coming. But for his view of sight there were only he, Max and the Rabbit,who brought some leaves to apply on his injury. While he was observing the surroundings there was another voice stating "Boy, why are in a state of panic? why are you looking everywhere? If you are looking for me then I'm here infront of you". Hearing this he looked straight in front of him, but there was that Rabbit, then once again he heard the voice "Boy, you are right this is me Rabbit. I'm talking to you via telepathy which means only you can hear my voice. Now say what are you doing in this part of forest". Listening to what the Rabbit have said Peter understood that the voice was that of Rabbit but he did not understand how can a rabbit do telepathy so he asked the rabbit about the telepathy thing. Once again the voice stated "I can't say you about how can I do telepathy, as it is a secret that can be kept only by me. If it is disclosed to anyone else then I may lose it. But first Who are you? What are you doing in this part of forest? Don't you know that this part is forbidden to enter and not only that you risked your life but also you have risked the life of this baby Pegasus with you. How could you play such a foolish act?".

Hearing to the words of the rabbit Peter replied that "Oh! little rabbit, my name is 'Peter' and this is my friend 'Max'. We really don't know that this part is forbidden and with what you said then is Max a 'Pe..ga..sus'. How can it be possible? From what I studied Pegasus would have wings right then how can Max be a Pegasus without wings. And for the last, What is that creature that attacked us last time it was very strange. I have a knowledge of every creature in this world but that creature which attacked me was a very strange one and that was the first time seeing that creature. Is this part forbidden because of that creature?".

The voice heard in the mind of Peter "Peter you have got many questions to answer but no worries, I can give any information within my range. Then let's begin with your little friend here, as I said before he is a Pegasus but somehow it seems that it is afraid of the flight and it hid it's wings so that no one can see. Next this part of the forest was not forbidden from long time. As you said this part is forbidden because of that creature only. In the past this place was very wonderful and the animals were happily roamed this place until one day an evil witch who came to this part of the forest felt jealous and made that creature from the a Tiger, Bat and Elephant. Combining those animals with her evil magic and sent it to destroy this place. From that day because of the creature this place was forbidden to enter and even if any animal enters this place by mistake that animal would be devoured by the creature. You were so lucky that you escaped from it without letting it to devour you. Now go away from this place before that creature spots you again".
