CHAPTER 5: THE RING

I asked him “ what curse did the prince get?”

“ He was cursed that he would marry a girl of a different world who would destroy the whole kazakun clan. From then the kazakun clan carefully delt with the problem. They never allowed people from different clans to come near him and his relation with other clan were cut. Rules were set up . And if anyone disobeyed the rules they were assassinated by the kazakun gaurds”. Actually I was not scared because I didn’t meet the prince ,but just a common villager. So I asked him“ How will the prince look like? ”.he replied with a smile “Mmm.. just like me!”. I gave him a smile and asked “how could some look just like you?” he replied “only if he is me!”. First I didn’t understand him at all but by looking at his clothes and ornaments I understood that…HE WAS THE PRINCE. I was like“whaaaaaaaaaaaat?, am I going to die? ”.he smiled and replied calmly in a generous voice “YES”. After hearing that I was half dead. He said “ As you were not aware of this I would let u go”. But i didnt listen to what he said and  I started crying, because I wanted to go to my house and wanted to see my mum. I buried my face into my hands . He rushed towards me and stared at me, searching for my face. He touched my hands and took them away from my face and looked into my eyes and started laughing. Now my sadness turned into anger. I gave him a harsh look. He saw my face and tried to control his laugh .with a smile on his face he gave a small green ring. “when you press this ring you will return to the place from where you came from”. I stopped crying and looked into the ring and saw his face. He smiled at me and asked me to promise that soon after I reached my world I must never use the ring again and asked me destroy it. I promised him that I would surely destroy it and thanked him . As usual he gave me that sweet smile and I pressed the ring and I closed my eyes tight. But when I closed my eyes I saw him. He was sad and again when I opened my eyes I saw the face of an old man. It was the shop keeper.
