A brave heart
sitting on a little stole,and kneeling down gradually to carefully blow,and watch the fire, while it flames into smoke,and cook the food on the fire. With the pot dancing continually as the boobloos goes up out of the pot,thereby making a thick smoke to erupt from the top layers of the pot,with it sainting aroma filling the whole atmosphere,was Ashara , watching her food closely,and almost lost in a deep thought. Ashara,Ashara my child,called out by the grandmother. grandma Gotel,replied Ashara,oh you are here,I thought you where sleeping. No am not my dear child,said grandma.
why Ashara,why? why did u take such a risky step in front of everyone,why? grandma Gotel said Ashara. Ashara replied,I did what I did because of you and Dan-baba. I don't want to loss any of you because of the strange illness. You and Dan- baba are the only family I have,ever since Dad died during hunting,and mom following there after due to shock if her husband's death,I can't afford to loss you both for what ever reasons grandma....!
hmmm! exclaimed grandma,indeed you are the through daughter of my son your father,so brave and bold,ready to die for his love once, I pray the gods takes you there and bring you back safely. But my child,you most promised me one thing, what is that grandma Gotel asked Ashara. that you will go and return no matter the up and downs on the ways. yes! I will grandma Gotel,I shall go and come back for you and Dan- baba, by the gods I shall return,said Ashara confidently.
The morning was so cold and quite,with the birds singing their usual songs, using their sounds. Dan-baba jumping in the snow,and trying to mould the snows into an image. Dan-baba called grandma,you need to come inside, because the snow is to cold to stay out playing. Grandma Gotel can I stay out a little bit before coming in? no my child cried out Grandma ,you know if your sister was around she won't let you come out into the snow this early hours of the morning. hanaaaa! exclaimed,the boy as he dragged himself to go in unhappy. sorry my child,don't worry you will come out when the sun shine it's smiles in the afternoon hours,she says as she tries to pet him on the head with one hand,and holding her waist with the other hand.
grandma Gotel was sitting down gentlely,when an old elderly friend showed up. Gotel she called out to her old aged friend,miss shantal said grandma, it had been long I saw you my friend,do have a sit while I get you some water. Gotel am worried,so worried about our children,and the king. it has been 2 days now since they left for the forest,in search of these healing herbs,and no words from the Royal priestess of their progress,are we sure they are save? come on my old friend,why get your self all worked up and worried, everything is fine, grandma Gotel says,as she carefully placed the cup of water on the little stole in front of her friend,as well as a two piece of bread loafs.
meanwhile my friend,you and I knows that issues like this takes time to get an answer,all you need to do is to just make sacrifice to the gods on behalf of your child,and believe that your son will come home safely for his family,that's all. finally,the two women talked for a while, laugh together about things of old,had a lot of good old time memories to share. Then finally,miss shantal was off to go, feeling so happy, grandma Gotel baid her friend good bye,nd turned back into her hurt. But then, she kept wondering as she turned into her hurt, when will our people come back from this forest mission,i hope that my grand child is save and okay,she says finally to herself as she short the door.
