                                                The golden kingdom



         In the 12th century there was the golden kingdom of the elephants in the Himalayas. They had that king who was the hero of the kingdom, and that king only has one son. He had him after a long time of waiting because he was having a problem of having children, but he had a son by asking for help from the witches in town. That son went to the royal Military School. After few years he graduated and started working next to his father. The father kept the secret that he had him by magic. The king felt that he’s sick and then he discovered that he had a brain cancer and he didn’t have a lot of time to live. So he wanted to give his only son the reins of power. He told him that he’s going to die soon and also he told him that he will be the next king of the Golden Kingdom. In the beginning he was shocked because he already had lot of plans for his future to travel the world and discover new places. He thought about it and looked at both sides of it, and finally he decided to be the new king so he can travel to find other sources to develop the country. However no one can do whatever he dreamed of even though he’s a king. The father died and the new king start to feel something strange with his head, but he didn’t pay attention to it. After few days he started to have nightmares of his father. Suddenly his father appeared as a ghost in his bedroom. The new king started to pray to the holy god of the elephants who called elephantario. The father said “ son, there is no reason to be afraid of me I won’t hurt you’re my only son, but I want to tell you the truth that I had you by magic not a normal way and I connected my brain with yours. But now am dead and I can see what will happen in the future. The witches will fight against you and they will take over the kingdom and change it to their beliefs. God is so mad and he wants you to fight them to protect the rest of the innocents out there.” The next morning he took 99 soldiers to arrest them all, but he didn't know that the witches already knew that would happen because the mother of the witches called shorena, the one who made that deal with the old king, could hear the son’s thoughts from distance. However,  he entered the land of magic and he saw all of them in front of him. After that he knew that he could kill her so easily. He was fast and the witch is getting old so he stabbed her in the heart but unfortunately she put a spell on him to send him away from the kingdom. In a quiet normal night I was heading to my apartment coming from the gym. I opened the door and I went to the kitchen to drink my protein shake when suddenly I saw a baby elephant near the fridge looking at me with a strange look. I asked him what are you doing here?  He answered me that he was fighting with some old witch in the woods and he just felt that he was flying in the air within one second he appeared here in my kitchen and he became a baby again. I told him this is weird but I helped to go home eventually.
