3. Seedling of Axe
Akshara and Mrs Blackfire have been living in a palace which was located in a place named, Ardna Chirig. Akshara was nurtured up by her so-called godmother, Nicoria Blackfire. Ardna Chirig appears to be the land of spring and warmness which has the unique myth, the land was famous for its peculiar effect of glowing leaves and flowers on the specific full moonlight.
The transparent leaves reflect the rays of the moon and emit its shining glow at night time. It happens only at the particular full moonlight in which the moon appears silvery first and changed to bluish silvery colour later once in a decade called Blue moon night.
Akshara was always wanted to witness the epic occurrence of such weird things but she was never allowed by Mrs Blackfire.
Akshara was allowed to accompany only her friend Azile Wintergreen, a girl of the same age as Akshara. The parents of Azile were Nuraz Wintergreen and Deniza Wintergreen; they were in charge of Nicoria’s household activities including cooking and cleaning. They treated Akshara as their daughter as same as Azile.
After the death of Akshara’s parents, Mr Harsha Arora & Sinentha Arora in an accident, Mr Nardener Blackfire &Mrs. Nicoria Blackfire became authorized god-parents to Akshara until she got married. She was told that her god-father was perished due to Bronchial asthma in his early 60s.
Toddler Akshara equally an inquisitive girl always had a bag of questions to Deniza, Azile's mother about everything she comes across- why the trees are tall, why elephants are big, why the sky is high, why the sun is round and hot, why the moon is growing and reducing, why I cannot see air, why this, why that, who, how, where… She posts peculiar answers like the trees are tall same as their parents, the air has no form because it’s playing hide and seek.
The adult Akshara grows into alluring loveliness with good shape always believes in logical thinking and witnesses in her own. Akshara and Azile were never gone to school; rather Mrs Blackfire built a room with a wall shelved with numerous books of all the fields which were categorized age-wise.
God-mother Nicoria provided home-schooling in all the fields covering myth to science, fantasy to technology, fairy tales to the invention, imagination to logical thinking. As they turned every page of books, the time turned their fate pages too. Deniza and Nuraz were scheduled in the way to teach their daughter Azile and espoused daughter Akshara.
Days rolled along with the age of Akshara, though her parents weren’t alive, she got her affection from everyone around her. The people in the palace too treated Akshara as their lovely princess.
