The Magic Hut and the Fairy
A dense and cold breeze signalled me, coming of a heavy rain storm..... I was alone in a dark forest surrounded with mountains.... I started to look for a shelter....Suddenly I heard someone running near the woods behind me.. I looked back abruptly but found nothing..... clouds were getting darker and darker with lightening thunder... I started calling ‘is someone there, is someone there’ but no reply.... No sign of any human being but suddenly I saw something white moving down the mountains ... I tried to chase that gleaming light as fast as I could but the more I tried to go near, the more that white gleaming thing goes away from me.....Ultimately I came across a hut in the middle of the forest... I took a sigh of relief as if I have found a shelter in heavy rain with possibility of a human being for help.... It was getting dark....
It looked like a very old hut built with timber branches and palm leaves.... I knocked on the door quickly so that I could save myself from being totally wet in the rain.. ‘Is there anyone here?’ But no reply... This time i knocked with force....Consequently the door opened slightly as if no one has locked it from inside...
With a very narrow gap i peeked inside and slowly uttered ‘is there anyone here’.... No reply again..... Besides the sound of lightening thunder and heavy rain.... I held my breath and entered the hut....
As soon as I entered the hut, I tried to dry myself as my clothes were completely drenched... it was dark inside.... I started to look for a lamp...so that i could clearly see everything inside.... as soon as I proceeded, i saw that white gleaming light again, coming from one corner of the hut.... it was moving rapidly... I went closer slowly....
The moment i went near, i couldn’t believe my eyes.... A fairy in white gleaming clothes was in front of me..She was so beautiful that i couldn’t take my eyes of her....... But she was scared.... She suddenly started crying and asked me ‘ Oh evil magician why you have captured me here’..... I replied.... ‘ No i m not any magician.... I have come to this forest to find some woods but lost my way back home n was trying to find a shelter in this heavy rain so i came across this hut.... Believe me oh fairy..... i would bring you no harm....’ She kept looking at me for a while and then said ‘ OK prove it then... put everything you have on the floor........ I did as she said... Suddenly She started crying again... and i asked her... ‘ Why are you crying now oh fairy?’ She replied ‘ I have been cursed by an evil magician who have locked me here in this forest and i cannot be free until someone possess a pure heart come and lift up my curse.... ‘ I asked ‘ Oh fairy what that person have to do in order to lift the curse.’ She replied ‘ He has to pull out the nail which evil magician have penetrated in my hairs but if he don’t have a pure heart and touches the nail.... He might turn into a stone’....
I was very nervousness but mustered up my courage and moved forward.... She hesitated but i gently held her hands and put it on my heart and said ‘ Feel my heart beat.... I can feel your pain... Let me help you...trust me’.... She remained silent and closed her eyes.... I looked up....prayed inside my heart..... and held the nail firmly.... With a jolt.... i separated the nail from her hairs.... She could not believe that her curse was lifted..... I took a sigh of relief... she giggled at me and said ‘ I can fulfil any one of your dearest wish.... Ask me.... What do you want?’
Her every little expression was making my heart beat faster.... She looked so cute and innocent with her glowing beautiful skin that i just uttered one word 'when she asked me what did i want' I replied 'You'
If you can turn yourself into a human for me.... I want to spend each and every moment of my life with you.... She giggled and suddenly flower petals starting to fall from the air... 'As i can imagine the power of magic'
And she stepped on those flowers looked into my eyes and said yes I will become a human for you.......
As soon as the fairy said that she will become human for me. I became so happy as if it was the most happiest moment of my life. But as soon as she tried the magic spell on her to be human it did not work. Suddenly a small fairy appeared from nowhere and said ' Fairy Lisa the Fairy Law did not allow you to be human until someone go and solve the seven riddles for you'. After saying this the small fairy disappeared.
I thought in mind ' oh at least I got to know the name of the fairy I fall in love with and it seems like its still time for me to see the feel the most happiest moment of my life and it looks like I have to work hard in order to get my love.'
Fairy Lisa looked at me and started crying. I went close to her wiped her gleaming tears, as soon as they fell the tears turned into 'pearls'. (I asked in a surprising way 'does fairies cry as well???')..She replied 'Eeeeeeeeeee Zain...stop it..... I m crying because this path is too dangerous and you can die as well in path of solving these riddles and I don't want to lose you.' I looked in her eyes, went close to her and said ' Do not cry Lisa as this obstacles come as a test in life and I m sure it will strengthen our love as I believed that we are mend to be together.'
For my protection she gave me a magic bow which had no arrows, she told me that as soon as I open the bow the arrows would appear magically and would never finish and a magic ring which only mend to work in times of danger. I took both things and started my journey towards the dark forest.
As soon as I stepped into the dark forest, I heard somebody running very fast. I tried to see who was it but could see nothing as the big long trees were obstructing my view. I climbed the tree in order to had a better view. I saw a dwarf running, and a lion was chasing him. I quickly took out my bow and pointed at the lion. Arrows appeared like a magic thunder in my hand and I targeted the lion. An arrow struck the lion on his feet and he fell down. Dwarf life was saved. He came down, the dwarf came running to me and hugged me. He said ' Oh master thanks for saving my life'. I will serve until I m alive because you have saved my life. I replied ' No its ok you don't have to serve me and I m not your master. You are free.' He replied ' No master now you own my life and I will serve you until my last breath. My name is Blink and I like to accompany you in your journey.' I replied 'Ok as you wish my friend.'
While going forward I felt grieved for the injured lion so I went close to Him making sure that I was on a safe distance and I used my ring to heal his wound. As soon as the light from the ring healed the lion's wound, the lion became a human being. I was surprised to see it. He said 'thank you kind man, I was actually cursed to become a lion by a evil magician and I was told that the day someone with a pure heart would heal me. Thank you.' As soon as he walked away I saw some magic words written in the air as ' 'Heal the wound' Your first riddle is solved.' I became so happy and thought ' Oh thank God at least my first riddle has been solved six more to go'.
Took blink with me and started my journey again into the dark forest.
It was getting dark and we needed a shelter to spend the night and have sleep. Blink just winked at me as he understood what I was thinking. He quickly managed to get some woods and started making a shelter. While making the shelter he told me that he use to make these small shelters for him and his family. I asked him 'How you came to this forest and where is your family?'
He replied 'My family lives in the other forest and every month we come to collect a special tree wood for fire which only exist in this dark forest and Today while coming to the dark forest with my brother 'mink' to collect some woods but lost him in the way, I tried to search him but got confronted by this lion.' Suddenly while describing me his story he started crying. I sat down with him and tried to calm him down and assured him that the next thing in the morning we would do is to find his brother mink.
Next morning we woke up and started our journey. As we moved on, we saw smoke coming out of from nearby. There were weird kind of black long tress in that section of the dark forest. As we went close we saw a small black hut. Blink suddenly whispered 'its the witch house who might have captured my brother mink. Witches like to eat dwarfs and thatswhy we always scared of them.
Now to free mink we needed a plan. I told blink ' go and knock on the door and I hide myself on the other side of the house. As soon as she opens the door, you try to run and I will target her with my magic bow'. Blink acted on the plan but as soon as the witch came out, I tried to attack her with my magic bow but she looked into my eyes. Her eyes were red and it made me felt dizzy. I lost my balance and fell on the ground. As soon as she came near me, my ring blew out a light and she disappeared. We went into the witch house and freed mink from a cage.
As soon as we freed mink some magic words got written in the air as 'Free a Prisoner. Second riddle solved'.' This encouraged me and I thanked God for letting me this far. Luckily now I had two companions with me 'blink and mink'. I took both of them and started my journey again into the dark forest.
It was nearly afternoon we went near a well to drink some water. Blink and mink were happy to be united. We drank some water from the well and continued our journey. As we moved on blink signalled me as if there was something wrong. He could smell something. Mink's nose got red and he told me that dwarf's noses get red when there is a danger nearby. I couldn't see anything but felt like as if something running in all directions behind the trees. Suddenly I saw herd of wolves capturing us from all sides. They were treating us like a prey. They were trying to trap us. Blink and mink got scared and held my legs tightly. Suddenly the noise stopped and one of the wolves came forward. A black giant wolf nearly a height of a man. I took out my magic bow, but wolf suddenly turned into a human. It was a werewolf. He took form of a human and started speaking. He said ' We are not here to attack you, we are searching for some vampires who came this way. Those vampires killed the leader of our tribe and broke the peace treaty. So we seek revenge and he roared. I replied ' Look we have not seen any vampire and we want peace so let us pass peacefully.' The werewolf agreed and stepped back. He ordered his fellow wolves to give us the path to peacefully make out way out of there.
As soon as we walked few miles from that spot blink told me as if he could hear someone cry under the bushes. We went near and saw a couple of vampires crying. They saw me coming and got scared. I told them ' I m a friend, please do not be scared. I m not a werewolf.' and then asked them the reason of their cry. They said ' An evil magician disguised like a vampire and killed one of the werewolves tribe leader, in order to break our peace treaty with them. Now the werewolves seek revenge and we are hiding from them.'
I understood the whole story. I told them not to be worried and went back alone to talk to the werewolves. I told the leader of the werewolves the whole story but he did not believe me. Then I came out with a solution. I told him, I have a magic ring and it will show light if the vampire are speaking the truth and if they were lieing then the ring would do nothing. Me and the leader of the werewolves tribe, along with blink and mink went to the vampire family and asked them to tell the whole story. Eventually my magic ring showed light. It helped two old rivals to come to a peace treaty again and fight against the actual culprit who wanted a fight between them. 'The evil magician.'
As soon as we walked away. We saw some magic words got written in the air, 'Third Riddle solved. Making peace between two enemies.'
Now we were nearly in the middle of the forest, where all the species, birds and animals were of different kind. We had never seen such kind of creatures before. Suddenly we saw a white big unicorn crying under the tree. Me, along with mind and blink went near the unicorn and asked him the reason of his cry. He whispered 'From last 20 years I have been trying to cross a maze which evil magician has built for me, in order to stop me from going back to the fairy world and until I cross the maze I will not be able to fly. I can only fly once I cross the maze and this is the evil spell casted on me by the evil magician.' I replied ' Don't worry unicorn we will help you cross the maze and then you will able to fly back to your fairy world.' As soon as we went near the maze the unicorn told us that if we touch any wall of the maze it will start squeezing and snakes will come out to eat us. The maze had two entrance. I decided to go with blink and advised mink to go with the unicorn through the other entrance. As soon as we stepped in, we heard whispers of snakes. I told blink not to touch anything as it the walls of the maze could squeeze us to death. The maze was very complicated and it was very difficult to find a way out. After walking for nearly half a day we found mink and unicorn in the same way we were going. The maze both entrance made us meet on a same path. It was really confusing and we wanted to cross the maze before the night. Suddenly blink started arguing with mink that he wanted to sit and ride on the unicorn now. In doing so they both started fighting with each other and eventually touched the maze wall.
I spoke in anger 'what have you both done, you have put our life in danger.' From the right side of the wall a lot of snakes appeared and started coming our way. Suddenly my magic ring started blinking, and a path infront of us, which was not visible from the naked eye revealed infront of me. I took all of them and ordered them to run straight. Mink shouted 'there is nothing in front its a wall'. I replied 'No itz not a wall, the light from the ring tells me that the exit of the maze is straight so just run straight.' As we all ran straight and were about to hit the wall, suddenly it disappeared and we came out of the maze. It was just a magic wall infront of the exit to fool people and stop them from exiting the maze. Thank God our lives were saved. I said to the unicorn 'See I told you never lose hope. Finally we are out of the maze and you can fly back home now.'
The unicorn thanked us and flown back to the fairy world. As soon as he flew into the sky suddenly we read some magic words written in the air 'Fourth Riddle solved. Never lose hope.' I smiled closed my eyes remembered fairy lisa's face and continued by journey into the dark forest along with mink and blink.
Mink and blink started making shelter for the night. It started raining at the same time but this time it was a very strange kind of rain. The rain water did fall on us but it did not make us wet. I was so surprised to see that kind of rain first time in my life. Another mystery of the dark forest. Mink said ' In ancient times our ancestors use to say that this kind of rain is called the rain of fitna.' I asked him what did you mean by rain of fitna. He replied 'this type of rain is a magical rain which causes unrest and problems whoever it falls on.' I got really surprised and told mink and blink to take cover in shelter as soon as possible. When we were about to go to sleep, suddenly I started to feel very angry about every little thing. Angry on mink and blink and on the reason I came to the forest. I did not feel sleepy at all. I saw mink and blink were awake as well and were arguing about something. I went near and heard them arguing and accusing each other about the incident happened in the maze.
Blink said 'Why didn't you let me sit on the unicorn.' Mink replied 'It was mine and only I wanted to ride on it. HAHA.' Blink said ' You put our life in danger'. Mink replied 'No you put our lives in danger by pushing me.' Soon after this talk they started hitting each other. I was already tired and got so annoyed on their fight that I scolded them to shut up. I was feeling so much anger in me that I wanted to hit them. Mink and blink were fighting and beating each other badly and were about to kill each other. Suddenly my magic ring started blinking and it showed light. I felt normal again. Perhaps it was the effect of the rain. Rain of unrest. I rubbed my ring on both of mink and blink head. They calmed down as well. After that I told them to hug each other and be friends again. It was the curse of the rain. It was not our fault. Both of you are brother and you should not hit each other like that. Both of them acted on my advice and stopped fighting. I thought in my mind 'Oh thank God I acted before they could have killed each other.' Soon after that I saw some magic words written in the air 'Fifth riddle solved. Act before it's too late.' It gave me a sigh of relief and we all went to sleep.
The next morning we started our journey towards the end of the dark forest. Blink told me about famous stories of the dragon in the way. It was famous that 'once upon a time the evil magician was a nice guy and he use to come to the forest to collect woods. But soon he realised that there is a dragon in the forest who teaches black magic. Evil magician got greedy and for the sake of money and eternity he went to the dragon's den and until today no-one have seen the evil magician. He always come in disguise and plant his evil plans to rule the world. It is also famous that the dragon is still guards his house door and the evil magician made the dragon slave as well soon after learning the black magic tricks from her.'
I said to mink ' Look mink everyone has to die one day then why not do something which can bring humanity and other species peace. If we die fight with the evil Magician then at least God will know that we tried our best to fight the evil. The best thing in life is in doing what people say you cannot do and I believe that we all are gifted but some people never open their package.'
Blink smiled and said 'We are with you Zain until our last breath.' I replied ' Yes thank you I came to the dark forest to complete the seven riddles in order to live with the love of my life 'fairy lisa' but seems like there is much more fate wants from me. I love her a lot and would always want her to be happy but perhaps If I would have never met and loved fairy lisa then I would have never come to the dark forest.' Mink said ' Ok then lets find out what's written in our fate.'
While saying that we stepped into a very strange part of the forest. There were no plants, no flowers and trees without leaves. Seemed like we are near the house of evil magician. It was proper silence and we could hear our footsteps like an echo on the ground. Sand and dust everywhere.
Suddenly we saw a big black palace full of diamonds and gold in its wall. There was a big gate. I took a deep breath and opened the gate. As soon as we stepped in, I heard 'Come passengers come what you seek?????, havn't had a human smell from a long time. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm From last 20 years no-one has opened this gate.' When we went near. We couldn't believe our eyes. It was the dragon. It was a huge dragon. I winked at Blink and mink to stand still. As the dragon looked furious.
The dragon said 'I will burn you with my fire and then eat you up. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Unless you tell me why you came here.' Mink and blink both were shivering with fear. I said ' We just came to see the evil magician. Heard a lot about him. Just wanted to see him.'
Dragon replied 'HAHAHA if you come here to kill him then this magic bow and this ring is not enough and it will not help you at all. Its better if I eat you up before the evil magician know.'
The dragon came near us and sniffed us but I stood firm on my ground and told mink and blink to be motionless as well.
Suddenly the dragon stepped back and said 'no human have been so brave and patient after seeing me. You must be someone with a pure heart and true faith. Perhaps you will save me too from this slavery of the evil magician.' After saying this He showed us the way to enter into the evil magician palace. We continued our journey towards the entrance and I thought in mind 'Oh thank God I remained patient in this test.' Suddenly I saw magic words written in the air 'Sixth riddle solved. Patience is a virtue'.
The palace gate was open. It was huge palace with jewellery embedded in the walls and animals skin were hanging everywhere. Me, mink and blink started calling' Is anyone here, Is anyone here?'
Suddenly someone with a very heavy and deep voice said 'What brings you here???' I replied 'Oh evil magician reveal yourself as we do not fear you.' Evil magician said' HAHAHAHAHA nobody have ever seen me in my real face as I m eternal and have lived 1000 years. I will never get old. HAHAHAHA I will always be young.' I replied 'Oh really how can you be young forever???' He said 'HAHAHAHAHA do you think I m a fool??? That I will tell you the secret of my power and age.' I replied ' Well No but as I walked into your palace knowing that I m doing towards my death so at least consider it my last wish before death.' He replied 'OK I will tell you my secret and reveal my actual face and then Kill you all HAHAHAHA.'
Blink and mink hugged my feet tightly and then a young handsome man appeared from the dark. I said 'Is that you evil magician.' He replied 'Yes that is my real face which no-one has ever seen except you but so pity that you will have to pay the price for it with your death hahahaha.' I said 'Yes you can kill us but as you promised tell us the secret of your power and eternity.'
He replied 'When I learned the magic from the dragon, I started experimenting the black magic at home but by mistake I said some wrong words in my spell while I was practising. That spell was the elder spell which noboday has ever known and it came to me by luck. The spell gave me immense power and saved my age in one of my very young age portrait hanging on the wall.' I replied 'Oh you got the elder spell thatswhy you do not age. So your life, power to live till eternity is in that picture.'
He said 'Yes HAHAHAHAHA.' I replied 'So if someone destroys that picture then one would eventually destroy you.' He said 'Yes But who has the strength to do that. I am the most powerful evil magician of all time. I am eternal HAHAHAHAHA.' I replied ' Well I have the courage and faith to destroy you and free the world from your evil acts.' He said' You HAHAHAHAHA you are nothing infront of me.' I took out my bow and tried to target him. But he made the bow fall out of my hand with his magic spell and said 'is that all you got???' I revealed my ring but my ring did not blink or blew out any light this time. As he killed the power of my ring with his black magic spell and said 'The time have come when I should kill you and these two dwarfs as well HAHAHAHA.'
I stood there closed my eyes and prayed inside my heart. As soon as he was about to cast the spell on us in order to kill us, I saw the same unicorn flying and coming towards me. The unicorn took me, mink and blink and saved us from the spell. Suddenly I saw the werewolves and vampire family running into the palace and started fighting with the evil magician and his evil force. The dragon helped us, it made werewolves and vampires knew my location and my need of help with its magic power.
While the vampires and werewolves got the evil magician and his forces busy in fighting. I flew into the other half of the palace to look for the magic portrait of the evil magician.
There were a lot of pictures of evil magician but it was difficult to find the one, which had his life and source of power. I remembered him telling me a very young age portrait. There was one picture in which the evil magician was looking very young. I got near to that picture and tried to burn it but it was in vain. As it had magic spell casted on it. Suddenly my ring started blinking and it showed light. I rubbed the ring on the picture and it destroyed the picture and killed the evil magician.
As soon as this happened I saw some magic words being written in the air 'Seventh riddle solved. Finish the culprit before it finishes you.'
We all celebrated with joy and happiness. The black palace and the dark clouds disappeared and we all found ourselves in the forest with a sun shining on us. Suddenly I saw fairy lisa flying in the air. She came down, hugged me and said 'Oh Zain I have been seeing you from the fairy world and have been praying for your success. Thank God you were able to solve all seven riddles and killed the evil magician.'
I replied 'Oh Lisa these riddles would have nearly taken my life.... Seems like course of true love never runs smooth.' She said 'Dear me Zaaaiinnnn....' I love you so much.' I replied 'Perhaps it was written in the fate for me to fall in love with you fairy lisa in order to destroy the evil magician.'
She said ' Yes But how are you feeling now???' I replied ' I am incomplete.... until you become human and complete my life.' She smiled said some magic words and transformed into a human.
That was the best moment of my life. Werewolves, vampires, dwarfs, unicorn, dragon, everyone attending my magical wedding that night and after saying goodbye to everyone on their life journey. Me and Lisa flew on the unicorn to see the fairy world and then to our home sweet home...... And then we lived happily ever after....
The end...............

I lost my balance and fell on the ground. As soon as she came near me, my ring blew out a light and she disappeared. We went into the witch house and freed mink from a cage.
As soon as we freed mink some magic words got written in the air as 'Free a Prisoner. Second riddle solved'.' This encouraged me and I thanked God for letting me this far. Luckily now I had two companions with me 'blink and mink'. I took both of them and started my journey again into the dark forest.
It was nearly afternoon we went near a well to drink some water. Blink and mink were happy to be united. We drank some water from the well and continued our journey. As we moved on blink signalled me as if there was something wrong. He could smell something. Mink's nose got red and he told me that dwarf's noses get red when there is a danger nearby. I couldn't see anything but felt like as if something running in all directions behind the trees. Suddenly I saw herd of wolves capturing us from all sides. They were treating us like a prey. They were trying to trap us. Blink and mink got scared and held my legs tightly. Suddenly the noise stopped and one of the wolves came forward. A black giant wolf nearly a height of a man. I took out my magic bow, but wolf suddenly turned into a human. It was a werewolf. He took form of a human and started speaking. He said ' We are not here to attack you, we are searching for some vampires who came this way. Those vampires killed the leader of our tribe and broke the peace treaty. So we seek revenge and he roared. I replied ' Look we have not seen any vampire and we want peace so let us pass peacefully.' The werewolf agreed and stepped back. He ordered his fellow wolves to give us the path to peacefully make out way out of there.
As soon as we walked few miles from that spot blink told me as if he could hear someone cry under the bushes. We went near and saw a couple of vampires crying. They saw me coming and got scared. I told them ' I m a friend, please do not be scared. I m not a werewolf.' and then asked them the reason of their cry. They said ' An evil magician disguised like a vampire and killed one of the werewolves tribe leader, in order to break our peace treaty with them. Now the werewolves seek revenge and we are hiding from them.'
I understood the whole story. I told them not to be worried and went back alone to talk to the werewolves. I told the leader of the werewolves the whole story but he did not believe me. Then I came out with a solution. I told him, I have a magic ring and it will show light if the vampire are speaking the truth and if they were lieing then the ring would do nothing. Me and the leader of the werewolves tribe, along with blink and mink went to the vampire family and asked them to tell the whole story. Eventually my magic ring showed light. It helped two old rivals to come to a peace treaty again and fight against the actual culprit who wanted a fight between them. 'The evil magician.'
As soon as we walked away. We saw some magic words got written in the air, 'Third Riddle solved. Making peace between two enemies.'
Now we were nearly in the middle of the forest, where all the species, birds and animals were of different kind. We had never seen such kind of creatures before. Suddenly we saw a white big unicorn crying under the tree. Me, along with mind and blink went near the unicorn and asked him the reason of his cry. He whispered 'From last 20 years I have been trying to cross a maze which evil magician has built for me, in order to stop me from going back to the fairy world and until I cross the maze I will not be able to fly. I can only fly once I cross the maze and this is the evil spell casted on me by the evil magician.' I replied ' Don't worry unicorn we will help you cross the maze and then you will able to fly back to your fairy world.' As soon as we went near the maze the unicorn told us that if we touch any wall of the maze it will start squeezing and snakes will come out to eat us. The maze had two entrance. I decided to go with blink and advised mink to go with the unicorn through the other entrance. As soon as we stepped in, we heard whispers of snakes. I told blink not to touch anything as it the walls of the maze could squeeze us to death. The maze was very complicated and it was very difficult to find a way out. After walking for nearly half a day we found mink and unicorn in the same way we were going. The maze both entrance made us meet on a same path. It was really confusing and we wanted to cross the maze before the night. Suddenly blink started arguing with mink that he wanted to sit and ride on the unicorn now. In doing so they both started fighting with each other and eventually touched the maze wall.
I spoke in anger 'what have you both done, you have put our life in danger.' From the right side of the wall a lot of snakes appeared and started coming our way. Suddenly my magic ring started blinking, and a path infront of us, which was not visible from the naked eye revealed infront of me. I took all of them and ordered them to run straight. Mink shouted 'there is nothing in front its a wall'. I replied 'No itz not a wall, the light from the ring tells me that the exit of the maze is straight so just run straight.' As we all ran straight and were about to hit the wall, suddenly it disappeared and we came out of the maze. It was just a magic wall infront of the exit to fool people and stop them from exiting the maze. Thank God our lives were saved. I said to the unicorn 'See I told you never lose hope. Finally we are out of the maze and you can fly back home now.'
The unicorn thanked us and flown back to the fairy world. As soon as he flew into the sky suddenly we read some magic words written in the air 'Fourth Riddle solved. Never lose hope.' I smiled closed my eyes remembered fairy lisa's face and continued by journey into the dark forest along with mink and blink.
Mink and blink started making shelter for the night. It started raining at the same time but this time it was a very strange kind of rain. The rain water did fall on us but it did not make us wet. I was so surprised to see that kind of rain first time in my life. Another mystery of the dark forest. Mink said ' In ancient times our ancestors use to say that this kind of rain is called the rain of fitna.' I asked him what did you mean by rain of fitna. He replied 'this type of rain is a magical rain which causes unrest and problems whoever it falls on.' I got really surprised and told mink and blink to take cover in shelter as soon as possible. When we were about to go to sleep, suddenly I started to feel very angry about every little thing. Angry on mink and blink and on the reason I came to the forest. I did not feel sleepy at all. I saw mink and blink were awake as well and were arguing about something. I went near and heard them arguing and accusing each other about the incident happened in the maze.
Blink said 'Why didn't you let me sit on the unicorn.' Mink replied 'It was mine and only I wanted to ride on it. HAHA.' Blink said ' You put our life in danger'. Mink replied 'No you put our lives in danger by pushing me.' Soon after this talk they started hitting each other. I was already tired and got so annoyed on their fight that I scolded them to shut up. I was feeling so much anger in me that I wanted to hit them. Mink and blink were fighting and beating each other badly and were about to kill each other. Suddenly my magic ring started blinking and it showed light. I felt normal again. Perhaps it was the effect of the rain. Rain of unrest. I rubbed my ring on both of mink and blink head. They calmed down as well. After that I told them to hug each other and be friends again. It was the curse of the rain. It was not our fault. Both of you are brother and you should not hit each other like that. Both of them acted on my advice and stopped fighting. I thought in my mind 'Oh thank God I acted before they could have killed each other.' Soon after that I saw some magic words written in the air 'Fifth riddle solved. Act before it's too late.' It gave me a sigh of relief and we all went to sleep.
The next morning we started our journey towards the end of the dark forest. Blink told me about famous stories of the dragon in the way. It was famous that 'once upon a time the evil magician was a nice guy and he use to come to the forest to collect woods. But soon he realised that there is a dragon in the forest who teaches black magic. Evil magician got greedy and for the sake of money and eternity he went to the dragon's den and until today no-one have seen the evil magician. He always come in disguise and plant his evil plans to rule the world. It is also famous that the dragon is still guards his house door and the evil magician made the dragon slave as well soon after learning the black magic tricks from her.'
I said to mink ' Look mink everyone has to die one day then why not do something which can bring humanity and other species peace. If we die fight with the evil Magician then at least God will know that we tried our best to fight the evil. The best thing in life is in doing what people say you cannot do and I believe that we all are gifted but some people never open their package.'
Blink smiled and said 'We are with you Zain until our last breath.' I replied ' Yes thank you I came to the dark forest to complete the seven riddles in order to live with the love of my life 'fairy lisa' but seems like there is much more fate wants from me. I love her a lot and would always want her to be happy but perhaps If I would have never met and loved fairy lisa then I would have never come to the dark forest.' Mink said ' Ok then lets find out what's written in our fate.'
While saying that we stepped into a very strange part of the forest. There were no plants, no flowers and trees without leaves. Seemed like we are near the house of evil magician. It was proper silence and we could hear our footsteps like an echo on the ground. Sand and dust everywhere.
Suddenly we saw a big black palace full of diamonds and gold in its wall. There was a big gate. I took a deep breath and opened the gate. As soon as we stepped in, I heard 'Come passengers come what you seek?????, havn't had a human smell from a long time. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm From last 20 years no-one has opened this gate.' When we went near. We couldn't believe our eyes. It was the dragon. It was a huge dragon. I winked at Blink and mink to stand still. As the dragon looked furious.
The dragon said 'I will burn you with my fire and then eat you up. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Unless you tell me why you came here.' Mink and blink both were shivering with fear. I said ' We just came to see the evil magician. Heard a lot about him. Just wanted to see him.'
Dragon replied 'HAHAHA if you come here to kill him then this magic bow and this ring is not enough and it will not help you at all. Its better if I eat you up before the evil magician know.'
The dragon came near us and sniffed us but I stood firm on my ground and told mink and blink to be motionless as well.
Suddenly the dragon stepped back and said 'no human have been so brave and patient after seeing me. You must be someone with a pure heart and true faith. Perhaps you will save me too from this slavery of the evil magician.' After saying this He showed us the way to enter into the evil magician palace. We continued our journey towards the entrance and I thought in mind 'Oh thank God I remained patient in this test.' Suddenly I saw magic words written in the air 'Sixth riddle solved. Patience is a virtue'.
The palace gate was open. It was huge palace with jewellery embedded in the walls and animals skin were hanging everywhere. Me, mink and blink started calling' Is anyone here, Is anyone here?'
Suddenly someone with a very heavy and deep voice said 'What brings you here???' I replied 'Oh evil magician reveal yourself as we do not fear you.' Evil magician said' HAHAHAHAHA nobody have ever seen me in my real face as I m eternal and have lived 1000 years. I will never get old. HAHAHAHA I will always be young.' I replied 'Oh really how can you be young forever???' He said 'HAHAHAHAHA do you think I m a fool??? That I will tell you the secret of my power and age.' I replied ' Well No but as I walked into your palace knowing that I m doing towards my death so at least consider it my last wish before death.' He replied 'OK I will tell you my secret and reveal my actual face and then Kill you all HAHAHAHA.'
Blink and mink hugged my feet tightly and then a young handsome man appeared from the dark. I said 'Is that you evil magician.' He replied 'Yes that is my real face which no-one has ever seen except you but so pity that you will have to pay the price for it with your death hahahaha.' I said 'Yes you can kill us but as you promised tell us the secret of your power and eternity.'
He replied 'When I learned the magic from the dragon, I started experimenting the black magic at home but by mistake I said some wrong words in my spell while I was practising. That spell was the elder spell which noboday has ever known and it came to me by luck. The spell gave me immense power and saved my age in one of my very young age portrait hanging on the wall.' I replied 'Oh you got the elder spell thatswhy you do not age. So your life, power to live till eternity is in that picture.'
He said 'Yes HAHAHAHAHA.' I replied 'So if someone destroys that picture then one would eventually destroy you.' He said 'Yes But who has the strength to do that. I am the most powerful evil magician of all time. I am eternal HAHAHAHAHA.' I replied ' Well I have the courage and faith to destroy you and free the world from your evil acts.' He said' You HAHAHAHAHA you are nothing infront of me.' I took out my bow and tried to target him. But he made the bow fall out of my hand with his magic spell and said 'is that all you got???' I revealed my ring but my ring did not blink or blew out any light this time. As he killed the power of my ring with his black magic spell and said 'The time have come when I should kill you and these two dwarfs as well HAHAHAHA.'
I stood there closed my eyes and prayed inside my heart. As soon as he was about to cast the spell on us in order to kill us, I saw the same unicorn flying and coming towards me. The unicorn took me, mink and blink and saved us from the spell. Suddenly I saw the werewolves and vampire family running into the palace and started fighting with the evil magician and his evil force. The dragon helped us, it made werewolves and vampires knew my location and my need of help with its magic power.
While the vampires and werewolves got the evil magician and his forces busy in fighting. I flew into the other half of the palace to look for the magic portrait of the evil magician.
There were a lot of pictures of evil magician but it was difficult to find the one, which had his life and source of power. I remembered him telling me a very young age portrait. There was one picture in which the evil magician was looking very young. I got near to that picture and tried to burn it but it was in vain. As it had magic spell casted on it. Suddenly my ring started blinking and it showed light. I rubbed the ring on the picture and it destroyed the picture and killed the evil magician.
As soon as this happened I saw some magic words being written in the air 'Seventh riddle solved. Finish the culprit before it finishes you.'
We all celebrated with joy and happiness. The black palace and the dark clouds disappeared and we all found ourselves in the forest with a sun shining on us. Suddenly I saw fairy lisa flying in the air. She came down, hugged me and said 'Oh Zain I have been seeing you from the fairy world and have been praying for your success. Thank God you were able to solve all seven riddles and killed the evil magician.'
I replied 'Oh Lisa these riddles would have nearly taken my life.... Seems like course of true love never runs smooth.' She said 'Dear me Zaaaiinnnn....' I love you so much.' I replied 'Perhaps it was written in the fate for me to fall in love with you fairy lisa in order to destroy the evil magician.'
She said ' Yes But how are you feeling now???' I replied ' I am incomplete.... until you become human and complete my life.' She smiled said some magic words and transformed into a human.
That was the best moment of my life. Werewolves, vampires, dwarfs, unicorn, dragon, everyone attending my magical wedding that night and after saying goodbye to everyone on their life journey. Me and Lisa flew on the unicorn to see the fairy world and then to our home sweet home...... And then we lived happily ever after....
The end...............
