chapter 1

"An isolated island , 'Phoa' is what written on the entrance. It looks completely devastated. No sign of life was there to be seen. Even the path has been closed by the thorns and covered by algae. The Phoa island gets deeper and darker on its way and finally a treat in an isolated Island, a royal tremendous palace. It is a very big castle still completely blemished without care. The gate is wide open and we are welcomed by a dry fountain in front of the castle. The entrance was confiscated by the thick layers of cob web. Inside the palace, there were few spoiled cushions a home for a mischief of rats. The entry of sunlight disclosed the portraits in the wall. A family image, a king , a Queen and a beautiful princess".

***(Phone rings)***

Keeping the book aside a voice said "hello"

"Hey Brici, don't forget we have a party tonight at the ship" said the voice from the other side.

"Yeah I remember" replied, Bricilla.

"Good then see you at the party" "bye" replied the lady.

.

.

Briccila, a middle aged beautiful woman with a sad ripened face with

a sulking tone cuts the call. When Bricilla was about to leave she witnesses the book glowing miraculously, wondered but without bothering she took the book and left the library.

Its a birthday party.

We see a lot of people greeting each other. Here we are yet to be introduced to other characters.

"Hey George! Welcome!"

"Hi. Thanks Dane, by the way she is my daughter Mia" he said pointing out the young girl standing beside him.

Mia greeted the man and left the place.

"Its been a long time since I saw you both together" said, Dane.

"Oh yeah! I have been hooked up in business after my wife's death. Moreover this is the first party I'm with Mia".

"Hey Vincent and Brian, Over here" a group of boys in the corner shouted at the brothers looking a lot alike.

While approaching their friends one among the two accidentally ran into George. Vincent went forward and asked for apology on behalf of his twin brother Brian and asked him in a concerned tone," You okay bro?" Brian replied "yeah, it's just the light is too bright for me". Vincent, "oh yeah I almost forgot let's get you into the corner". In a minute they joined a cheerful conversation.

Meanwhile, looking at the boys approaching towards her corner, mia suddenly felt some awkwardness in the air so she moved to a table where a lady sitting with a book on her lap. In order to come out of this unpleasant intuit, Mia made an eye contact and that is when the lady started to speak up.

"Hey I'm Bricilla, you seems to be lonely". Mia nods and replied "I'm Mia George" in a sulky tone.

"Are you the friend of this birthday girl" asked Bricilla,

"No I accompanied my dad, its technically a business meet for him. And you?"

"I'm here for the mother of the birthday day girl, she is my reading companion so I have to come for

her". They both shared a grin.

There we can see all our characters somehow connected with each other. That is when the fate interupts in their super ordinary lives. Suddenly a thunderstorm was heard and it was first felt by Vincent, for everyone's utter shock the ship started to rocking back and forth. It is more than enough to scare everyone on board. Bricilla to get a grip from falling, she stood up and grabbed the iron rod but suddenly the book she had with her fell into the sea, It was all glittering while waving in the sea. Lights were glimmering and a heavy storm hits the ship once again with an unexpected rain. People in the ship stumbled, women and children screamed in the horror of death.
