The promise. by Paula B

Once upon a time there was a boy called Malek. He had blue eyes and he wasn’t very tall. He was just ten years old. He lived in a city with his parents.
Every weekend Malek went to his grandparents’ house which was an old one, one of those with a lot of rooms and windows. His grandparents were also the owners of an ancient forest.
One day, he was walking through the forest when he realized he was in another place. When he looked at the trees he could see faces of magic creatures and he was such a curious boy, he continued walking and exploring the magic place. He usually visited this place and made wonderful friends. A few years later he became a wise wizard with incredible powers.
One night the creatures promised they would always be beside him, but, when he turned 16, he became an adult and he couldn’t find that place anymore. Despite that he still believes in magic and says he can feel his friends beside him all the time, as they had promised.
