It is
said that dreams are just that: only dreams. But believe me, this is not always
true. Some dreams are as real as the dreamer.
Thanks
to their dreams, dreamers can receive the special visit of eternal wisdom that
has inspired the creativity of great inventors, scientists, musicians, and even
writers throughout the ages.
This
creative wisdom is not always the type that appears to the eager conscience.
Sometimes, a Defiler, a destroyer of dreams, is the one who tries to appear
before the dreamer. These creatures were once humans, but they allowed their
pain and desire for revenge to take over and seek the same miserable fate for
the one who dreams.
You
must not fear — Dream Guardians, also known as Kelsdrant, will always protect
the one who dreams, even with their own life. They are people of flesh and
bone, just like you and me, or at least they are on Earth.
The
following story is dedicated to the fun, extravagant, and enlightening life of
Julian Fox, the Dream Guardian.
Be
prepared, dear reader. It is time to dream, laugh, reflect, and even maybe cry.
Welcome
to the Land of the Wise Dreams.
Excerpt
Chapter 1: The Fox Family
There is no perfect family. This is
a universal truth, but if the imagination of a pair of mischievous minds is
added to reality, the result can be an explosive combination that shuts the
door to normalcy.
Sonia and William’s marriage is an
example of how patience can be extended to the absolute limits. After all,
parental love can only tolerate so much nonsense from the ingenuity of their
children, especially when they happen to be Julian and Nicholas Fox.
This outlandish story begins at the
crazy end of a pleasant vacation. The two brothers, Julian and Nicholas, were
enjoying the afternoon heat near the banks of the river that crossed their
ranch. They lay in the shade of an enormous tree, listening to the torrent of
water as if it were a magical lullaby.
Julian, the eldest, was twenty-one
years old. He had just completed his university studies and the memories of
experiences with his classmates were still fresh in his mind. Nicholas, the
youngest and last of the two children, was twenty years old and he was still
studying in college.
They stayed silent for several
minutes with their eyes closed, hoping that a miracle would occur and the
family vacation would continue for a while longer. But, resigned to returning
home in just two days, they decided to make the most of nature’s sweetness.
Author bio and links
E.
J. Miranda is an avid reader, an enthusiastic traveler, and a passionate
author. Her great sense of humor and love for nature have granted her a
rebellious writing style: Her approach describes the adventures of life but in
such a way that each reader can have an individual take on the matter. Her
inspiration comes from her curiosity about other countries’ cultures and
peculiarities. A few countries in particular that spark her curiosity are
Colombia, Italy, Costa Rica, England, Belgium, Mexico, Spain, and the United
States. Her favorite places to visit are historical sites and museums,
locations that allow her to explore important and even overlooked details. She
currently lives with her husband in Colombia but frequently travels to Houston
to visit her daughter and son. E.J. Miranda has a degree in tax accounting, but
she prefers interacting with people to calculating their taxes.
