JOURNEY TO BACHIDA CASTLE. {chapter 1,Episode 1}.
The wheel of the carriage bounced against the hilly pathway. I looked out of the small window beside me,the afternoon is warm with a cool breeze blowing into the carriage. Thick maple and elm trees with their autumn leaves blocked the horizontal view. The chattering of few birds filled the air. I turn my mind back into the carriage.
''There is a fire in the blood'',I said to him''. a Missy with pink hair joke while others laugh.
''it has happened to me a very long time ,I can't recall,when a lad asked me why my hair is pale blue'' said another missy sitting next to the lad with blue hair in front of me.
''I know what is going on in that little mind of your'' osabell whispered into my ear.
osabell has been a child friend of mine . we were brought up together after she lost her mother in the second war of black evil.
''I pray you tell me now''i mouthed. she chuckled ''you are thinking about that lad'' I followed her glance to the lad sitting directly in front of me. ''I
know you have an eye on him .''osabell!!''I whispered shockly'' an ear for your troubles''. ..'I didn't do anything wrong'. she replied . ''I only said what in your mind.''.
''And you are wrong''.
the lad sitting directly in front of me stared widely at us.
''I ask your forgiveness, she is naughty''. i apologies. I stared at him.
''is that your color?''he asked instead.
''pardon''
''is that your colour?''.
''ohh!yes''i answered drawing the floppy hat more securely to my head. I know people could tell my hair colour through my iris like every other people who has special talents.
they pass a tray of meat roll with creamy milk round.
'' please,what time is it?''
''it's ninteen-three-zero"a lad with a dark
hair answered.
