The silent disciple (Part-1/5)
Once upon a time
a beautiful virgin
(she was the princess
of an unknown land)
met a nameless thief
in the dark forest
of a solitude island.
The virgin was left abandoned
by her own mother
(she used to be the queen
of that unknown land)
who was envied of her solemn beauty;
The thief swam to that island
after being chased by
the fleet guards of a floating sheep
where he was kept stealing
(their fates allowed them to meet).
On a moonless night
both the bodies become one
though their souls remain a part
and eventually they gave birth
to a male child
(who turned out to be a monster)
on the peak of the red moon.
Contd…
(Pure fiction. Any similarity
should be treated as mere coincidence.)
