The Beginning (Dukkha Fate Series #0.5)

The sun was at its highest again. It was picturesque as it stood on its lonesome in the cloudless beautiful blue sky. It rested above the water, shining hard its rays of light bouncing off the water.
If it had an ego, one would say it was showing off its power, its beauty, and its capability to make the world look so beautiful.
If Angakut, the spiritualist, heard anyone say that, he would have a fit!
Angakut was old and frail, but very powerful and everyone was afraid of him. He had connections with the ‘big guys’. It would be dangerous to mess with him, and his appearance was also very intimidating.
He had long white hair that was held up with a long stick and red, white and black markings on his shriveled brown skin that symbolized his power and the favor the spirits had on him. His eyes were sunken and black, his ears pulled down with tiny black chunks of wood stuck in them.
“The sun is a heavenly being, the guardian of the day. It gives its best to its children when they deserve it. Do not mock his powers!” His harsh coarse voice filled Ashat’s head.
Then we must have done something right today, Ashat thought to himself.
Ashat stood still to take in the beauty of the earth, its sight and its scent. The summer had come with a lot of blessings; beautiful tall trees, green grass and cloudless blue skies. The lake seemed to sparkle as the sunrays touched its surface.
He dug his toes into the ground and rubbed the cool soft soil in between his toes.
The beauty mother earth had created was unspeakable, no creature, man or animal could disagree as they all benefit from her kindness.
But there was far more beauty than anything the world had ever seen calling out for him- Rosa. Ashat couldn’t help but smile, every part of him was more awake now than it was ten seconds ago.
“Ashat, will you stop daydreaming and hurry up! Your little brother’s blessing ceremony is about to begin!”
