The last Story

I still remember my grandfather's words like it was just yesterday, I was turning 15 that year as he called me to his side as he always did each year before my birthday. My grandad gave me a cup of water to drink from his special pot which he kept beside him always he called it crystal water the cure for all ailments, he had done so for the past 15 years of my life he always told us stories about his past adventures along with my brothers and when my brother's asked why he always favoured me he chuckled and said it was because I was the only girl in the family for two generations, it was for my protection as he had taken something valuable back with him from one of his adventures and he had to pay a heavy price for his ignorance. I always listened to his words attentively but laughed with glee 😅 I even thought he was exaggerating some of his stories until one faithful day.

That day was supposed to be the greatest year of my life. I'll be celebrating my sweet 16th birthday, but that year became ominous as my grandad was quite ill 🤒 before the big day. Though I was sad 😔 I was at least looking forward to a quite celebration and unwrapping of gifts little did I know I'll be unwrapping mysteries, Mysterious lands in an amazing adventure to grant my grandfather's final wish. The day began like any other day on a warm summer ☀️, our grandfather called us into his living area I was happy to see his face looking more lively than usual since he got ill and I was also looking forward to a story 😊 as usual so I Immediately sat beside him sticking my tongue 👅 out to my brothers in mockery I'm granddad's favourite I whispered. Grandad looked at me, and my brother's, teary 😢 eyed he smiled. He said to me, " Dear Abby, it's time to grow up, so today I will tell you a tale. I've never told anyone except my late wife."
