PREFACE

The moonlight shone brightly in its complete form. The perfect moment for this. I swung over the edge of the cliff. I searched for a hole, and there it was.

I stuffed the miniature golden hawk in it. All of a sudden, the moonlight focused on the mini model. As though it was touched by a magic wand, it started to flutter its wings.

And it was expanding quickly. In just one blink of an eye, it had grown to three times its size. It continued growing until it was larger than me. I got a sudden idea that I had to leap onto it.

But I didn’t. The hawk blinked three times at me. Then, it took off into the dark sky, heading towards the moon. I bared my teeth as a queer feeling of agitation filled me from within. I closed my eyes and the fog suspended around me.

I growled in an instinctive way and leapt straight down the mountain to final freedom...

CHAPTER 1
THE LETTER

The postman walked away from the post – box, his last one, his final destination to freedom for the day. His work wasn’t such a torture, it was quite simple.

All he had to do was to deliver around 100 envelopes in a day. And usually, he manages to finish before the sun sets. And now, back to his home for a nice cup of hot tea, prepared by his wife.

As he walked away, the curtain moved and two small eyes peeped at the post-box. A moment later, a maid, dressed in plain white rushed down the stairs. She quickly took the brown envelope and rushed into the house.

As she walked into the house towards the staircase which twirls upwards, before leading to her mistress’ bedroom, she looked at the envelope. It was brown, thick and bulging. It even bore a golden seal.

She had reached the long corridor. She reminded herself, to give it to the door at the end, not the first one on her right. She glanced at the white door on her right before walking to the last door.

Immediately, she knocked on the mahogany door.

RULE 1: KNOCK ON THE DOOR, BEFORE YOU
ENTER.

Or else, the mistress will be your own personal hell to you.

RULE 2: YOU MUST RESPECT THE VISITORS.

The visitors in this case, were not very friendly. They were long – faced women who liked to criticize about everything. If this rule isn’t obeyed, you have to clean all the dishes and you can kiss your monthly bonuses goodbye.

RULE 3: DO WHAT YOU ARE LISTED TO DO.

Or else, you will get fired.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

‘Enter ,’ was the response to the continuous knocks.

‘Good morning, ’ greeted the maid.

The mistress, as usual, was admiring herself at the mirror. The mistress is beautiful, but her mean behaviour destroyed it. And now, she was playing with her hair.

‘This was delivered just now, ’ the maid said and gave the letter to her mistress. The mistress tore the envelope open and read it. She grinned in a content way.

‘Who delivered this? ’ she questioned the maid. ‘The postman, miss' the maid spoke but in her heart she wanted to be sarcastic and say policeman. I mean, how stupid can anyone be? She thought.

‘Now leave, and call my son here, ’ the mistress ordered.

‘Yes, then I shall continue attending to the dishes, mistress, ’ the maid said and walked out of the room. Now, my most favourite room, she thought. The door was pushed slightly as it opened.

I looked up at the sudden intrusion.

‘Your mother is awaiting your arrival at her chamber, ’ said the maid. That’s when we both burst out laughing. ‘ I thought I had already told you not to speak to me in that ancient way, ’ I stated.

‘Well, I had the impression that your mother had installed a CCTV in here, ’ the maid said, while straightening her apron. ‘Of course, she did. I reprogrammed it, though, ’ I said pointing at the monitor.

On it was a
