temple 1

Where we laid out hopes to grow

We found moss ,where we were expectant we found it empty ,our  vaults empty the court yard deserted ,our lawns plundered the famous white rose field almost gone and the remaining flowers tainted yes tainted like the beauty of Agra fading away like a twilight .

the beauty,and valour of Agra is gone but not it's youth ,I bent over pick up some dust and paid my obeisance to mother earth and swore to her my oath the path for the glory of Agra

Agra is made up of ten tribes who are in charge of their affairs and summit to the Sultan who holds the supreme power ,my beloved country flourished for years and became the glory of the neighbouring kingdom ,yet we were content on being happy and never wanted to acquire more lands or fame a land of saints and beauty was Agra whose streets were free of thieves and beggars everyman was content with what he has just the way my father was content with my sister and I as heir to his mantle my name is Agra no one knew why the Sultan choose that name for me my younger sister name was Acacia far more beautiful eloquent and graceful her bronze skin tone was like no other , sturborn thick Brown hair with auburn colour and emerald green round and bold eye she ,she was a great beauty like our mother whereas i and my father are two peas in a pod I also have a sturborn thick curls , cat brown eyes and white skin which makes it easy for me to blend in the crowd during my escapades outside the walls of Agra which was more of a curse than the blessings it brought ,my first adventure outside the city walls before Agra's fall was on my fourteenth birthday as always my birthday was always a big deal from the offering on the altars to the gates of Agra merchants comes to pay homage and establish trade permit , kingdom's seek alliance and also marriage proposals for the two Princesses but mine was the next

I am six years older than Acacia during the feast was a young teenager who caught my attention while the dance was on his hair was so brown that you could mistake it for black had a domineering aura and was focused on what I couldn't see was getting his attention ,when the dance was over a special demonstration was announced and there behold as the curtain dropped stood there on the stage my cupid with a courtesy bow not even a word of introduction he went ahead to present a sword dance you would mistake him for a ninja to have such fluid movement knowledge of the sword at such a young age it was a great accomplishment when he was done he presented to me a jade pendant which was a jewelry for the kings and high ranked nobles ,the curtain was drawn again by the time I made it to the stage I couldn't find him anywhere around the square nor in the kingdom cause I asked the palace soilders to search for him , while still roaming around the square I saw someone that looked familiar but before I could pursuit my father asked for me ,I was immediately escorted to my father
