[-CURSE OF THE HEIR-] ------------------------------------------ “Why the Song of the Flowers now, Ongshan? “Asked the Wise Man. Ongshan was humming the song of the flowers; his gaze glued to the distant fog on the stonewalled sea; his skin on the face flat and silent; impassive, as always, he remained admixed with the grey statuette of the cliff. Had not known the curse even the Wise Man might have failed to read the effigy. Ongshan felt Silence. ------------------------------------------- “This is your only weakness Ongshan, your chink in the armor. We couldnt protect you when the Warrior of Light came.You kept staring at the Light like a curious new-born.Your eyes, the only part we could not shield from the Light got cursed; like the Achilles’ heel. If those eyes ever smile at something, you will never be able to get rid of it, neither will you ever be able to have it-that was the curse. We first learned about it from the Speeches of the Witch. “Have you read the speeches?” ------------------------------------------- Ongshan stayed deadpan; Only his eyes humming the Song of the Flowers; why do one think of the flowers in snow-fall ! Wise Man knew the seemingly spaced-out eyes of Ongshan were crying in agony; amidst the distant fog of the sea his love was drifting away! How destitute even the mighty heir of ‘The Arrow’ becomes when it comes to the matter of heart ! Ongshan can turn the sea upside down now, can order the mountains to surround the Sea and make it kneel to his feet, yet he will not be able to stop Lorelei from drifting away ! “If your eyes ever smile at something Ongshan, you will never be able to have it.” Cursed the Warrior of Light. ------------------------------------------ Whispers of Lorelei buzzed like a tender zephyr in his ears Please sing the Song of Flowers for me Ongshan when my ship sails away. Please cast your soul to the Sea; Remember me, Please, in tear-drops of joy and sorrow ! ’ How tenderly fragile are the thoughts of a lover ! How Ongshan can ever forget his Lorelei ! Upended the desolate winter so he kept humming the ‘Song of the Flowers!’ ------------------------------------------- [The Battle OF Arrow ] Page: 1231
