Prologue

The Vision

Snow, that was what the dream had shown her, she was in a place covered with snow, the trees were green and alive but covered with snows the flowers bloom but it was covered in snow, the grass is green but yet again it is covered with snow the sky are grey and the snow is heavily pouring, yet why I the trees and the grass and the flowers are alive? Why is the river nit frozen?

Laughter? She hears laughter! Looking around the place she didn't see anyone but herself, covered in crimson blood from head to toe, only then she realized that there were bodies lying down at her feet, their bloods are slowly re were bodies lying down at her feet, their bloods are slowly covering the white ground.

“Sister?” She heard another voice “Sister, look at me” She knows who owns that voice “Sister over here! Look” She turned around only to come face to face with a giant tree. It’s massive and its root are sticking out from the ground, its branches expand to a large portion of the place. In summer it could offer shade, in the dessert it could give relief, but in winter it brings death. The color of its trunk and branches and even its roots and leaves are ash, like the color of when someone is burned to ashes. But it’s fruits a weird looking one, it’s red as an apple, no perhaps redder than an apple but its shape resembles the pear. What is it? Could it be eaten? To those who are starving, yes it could be eaten, but for those who aren’t it can be poison. What is this tree?

She then looks at the ground and noticed a flower sprouting from one of the dead bodies, it is weird one with its color redder than blood and on its middle is a speck of gold, she wanted to pluck it but was distracted when she heard an infant crying. It was as if the cries of the infant are woman who’s mourning, why was a new born mourning? Who did it lose? Then the wind whispered in her ears “Forgiveness, it is not easy to give, but when you learn to forgive only then shall love sprout within your heart. And when you let love sprout, only then shall freedom be truly yours”
