The auburn sky was an ocean of clouds, seemingly painted by the brush of a Renaissance painter. The sun was about to dive beyond the horizon, casting our shadows far behind us and a piercing shriek broke the silence around us. We were startled by the sheer agony in the scream. It seemed to have come from the thick woods in front of us. We ran towards the source and found a man covered in blood. Ariana panicked and started trembling with fear. I went a little closer.

Master of Death — Story behind something huge.

Becoming the Master of Death. If you're a Harry Potter fan, then brace yourself and skip the next few paragraphs.(You can still read the quoted story to get nostalgic.) But in case you're a muggle, I'm sorry but you'll have to read the next few paragraphs to really get the depth of what I'm about to reveal. Have you seen the symbol before? If your answer's yes, then skip to the quoted story. If no: Popularly known as "The Deathly Hallows". Rooted from the Wizardry World presented to muggles(humans) by J.K Rowling. The symbol is a representation of the three gifts given by Death, itself, to three brothers.(Don't worry you'll understand everything in the story.) The triangle is the Invisibility Cloak. The in-circle is the Resurrection Stone. The median is the Elder Wand. Do you know what they really mean? If your answer's yes, then why the heck are you wasting your time reading this? I told you to skip to the QUOTED STORY. You're still...

The Chosen Envelope As the Pink envelope lay on the table, tasting the dust with her family of envelopes closely kept together, she couldn't help but wonder when her time would come. It had been ages since Pink's elder brother was chosen to hold a letter within him and be delivered to their owner's lover. The owner— Pink recalls— was Lilly, a girl who bought her family from a gift shop. Lilly always decorated her envelopes with sparkles and ribbons and made cute heart symbols on them. That's how Pink knew that Lilly sent them to her lover. 'Has she got herself new envelopes?' The mere thought sent a shiver down Pink's folds. Don't be paranoid, she sighed. 'There comes Lilly! Finally my time has come.' She rejoiced on seeing Lilly slide the chair of her writing table. 'Congratulations Pink! It's your day!' Whispered her sister who hid below her. Lilly adjusted her glasses which had turned hazy due to some reasons. It was the...

Before you start your journey with Awan, I would like if all of you read my note about it. Author's Note. The password is "sister" (Ignore the quotation marks) 17th August 2016 Dear sister, Hello shaqiqa! How've you been? It's been 18 years since we talked, that's sad I know but I'll surely talk to you more often from now on. :) To start with our introductions, I'll go first: I now live in India, isn't that awesome? I came here just a few days ago. As you know our country has an active civil war which is just getting worse and thus our parents decided that I should stay away from all of it. Amongst all the places that we could afford, India was better than the rest. No complaints though, I'm happy over here. Last 9 days have been great! (Until today, of course) My hostel room over here is wonderful, I share it with 2 guys- Naveen and Azure. Naveen (aka the buffoon)...
