Sinopsis

A dead silence and dread fell on the whole place. He entered a small room behind the platform. The silence continued for about five minutes. It was like the longest day. Harieta feared for the life of her bosom childish friend, Anita. No one could read the mind of DD1 or what would follow next. Then the bell rang for the emergence of the cult leader. All eyes were fixed at the small door. When he eventually came out, he had changed from the black attire to a red one. A hush came over the congregation. Red robe signifies danger or death. But to Anita it was blood, the blood of atonement. DD1 judged and pronounced Anita dead. "Tomorrow she will be sacrificed to the great dragon." Her school mates cried out but were silenced. Anita in the midst of the silence screamed, "God is watching you." They clad her in a red robe and she was taken to the dungeon, an underground prison. She would be prepared for the ritual and sacrifice.DD1's night was rough and turbulent. He couldn't sleep. The echoes of Anita's song - God is watchin' - rattled him. "She mustn't die because she spoke the truth. She is innocent and pure," echoed a voice on one hand while another vulgar voice shouted, "she must die. She must die. Anita must be sacrificed." The confusion in DD number one's head heightened. He later chose that Anita must be sacrificed. After all he vowed to serve the red dragon.But Anita in the midst of her ordeal received a visitor, a beautiful lady in her dreams, who claimed to be her guardian spirit."I am your guardian spirit. Don't be afraid. I'll send you a deliverer...""How could that be seeing my plight in this dungeon...""God is not only watching the deeds of men or events in the world but he's watching over you too. Cheer up." The visitor left, leaving Anita still in the holding dungeon, an underground cell.Anita sighed and moaned, "she still left me here. Anyway this is a price I must pay..." She cried out her eyes and left all to God. All her many dreams that night were wars and wars with the red dragons tearing her to pieces. Evil dreams that gave her no hope. But she woke up and found she was still alive. She wished she died from there than to come back and face the evil congregation. The following morning the congregation of the red dragon worshippers gathered. The altar was prepared at the center of the field. At the appropriate time, after all the rituals and incantations, Anita was brought in. Her face was pale, gloomy and dejected. But something strange started...Gifted Child (Dragons Angels Children Series Book Two) for young readers would help children overcome challenges and solve puzzles of life.

The Purple Sky Lullaby - A dream...

K.S. Carter

The Purple Sky Lullaby is a dream. It is a good dream and in a good dream anything lovely is possible. There are no scary witches or goblins so if that is what you are looking for you will not find it here.
Here you will find new friends(people and animals) who like to listen to their feelings inside and decide if they prefer to feel something different. They cleverly use their imagination to create new feeling blends and then give them new names. Once the feeling is named, it is sent out everywhere like a magical mist so that anyone can grab onto it and feel it if they want to. This is the main reason why they focus on creating new, better feelings. They know that as soon as they make them they are also sharing them. Sharing kinder thoughts and feelings makes everything seem bigger as they create their dream world together.
Sometimes they do not feel so good, but they know how to turn a thought over or how to step back from it and watch it go by so that another thought can try for their attention. They know not to judge a 'slumpy' feeling but instead, allow it to be there like a friend saying, "Hello there, my name is Slumpy and I'm here to say as long as you think this way, you shall feel this way...and it's OK".
We are feeling Humzingy now as we invite you into a world where every friend you meet is the Foreverlong Kind. The kind that creeps right into your heart and leaves you feeling Swoothe. The kind that will fly you to new places and show you color like you have never seen. The kind that will sing you a lullaby or a thank you poem just for being you.
This is a good feeling place that might possibly give you a trick or two for how to feel better all by yourself.
This is true mastery indeed.
Only in a Purple Sky Lullaby. Now what?

Washington Irving: The Legend of...

Washington Irving

Everyone knows the story of the Headless Horseman but perhaps you, like me, did not remember what a marvelous story teller Washington Irving was. He observed human nature closely and like any good humorist, lets us laugh at our own silly and superstitious sides through the joy of having strangers be the ones to display them. If you, like me, have only vague and muddy memories of this story, you owe it to yourself to listen and laugh along with the rest of the world.
