The Butterfly
In mythology, a butterfly symbolizes fire; it is associated with a moth to a flame. In ancient Greece, the butterfly symbolized the soul's prominence over the body and the profound changes it brings. In Shamanism, a butterfly is a symbol. A white butterfly represents goodness, a black butterfly represents sadness, and a yellow butterfly represents illness. A blue butterfly symbolizes pure spirit. This is the story of an ordinary person living a monotonous life. This is the story of how an ordinary person's life can change in an instant. Question your beliefs, because the greatest adventures begin with believing in the most incredible things. Persuaded to fight as representatives of the gods in their war for dominion over the Earth, the 10 young people gathered in a house where they would learn the finer points of war and being a good soldier, and develop the talents bestowed upon them by the gods who chose them to take part in this war. - We wrote this book series with my sister 10 years ago, we published it on Wattpad, and it was published by a publishing house in Turkey. I translated the book myself from Turkish to English, and since it is my second language, there might be some mistakes in writing. I hope you can pardon my mistakes and enjoy the story.
