New Year

Once upon a time, there was a young boy. Relentlessly following his every move and burning the young boy at his slightest misstep, a Dragon was breathing on the back of his neck.

He received refuge in an old Temple. There were no mirrors allowed, it was forbidden to leave or speak about the life which passed before entering the Temple. Ancient books, hidden rooms with unimaginable treasures and beauty beyond comprehension all became part of the boy’s new reality.

Time went by until, one day, the now old young boy accidentally glimpses his own reflection in a pond. The Dragon smiled back. 

A Boy and his Dragon

Once upon a time, a Little Boy was living in a village near the woods. One day, a Dragon came out of the cave secluded in the middle of the forest and began to relentlessly follow the Little Boy, always breathing on the back of his neck, burning the young boy at his slightest misstep.

The child received refuge in an old Temple where there were no mirrors allowed, and it was forbidden to speak of life before entering the sanctum. Ancient books, hidden rooms with unimaginable treasures and beauty beyond comprehension, became part of the boy’s new life.

Time went by until, one day, the now old young boy accidentally glimpses his own reflection in a pond. The Dragon smiled back.

Come for Knowledge. Stay for Wisdom.
