The Saga of the Twin Islands The Echo of the Pink Coral and the Secret of the Wind
The beginning is not a year, but a whisper. A whisper carried by the east wind, murmuring tales between the islands of the Lesser Antilles, places that the gods sprinkled upon the boundless blue. In those times without maps, when the land of Wadadli was young, it vibrated with the life of the Arawak people, who also gave it its name: "Our land." Wadadli had a younger, more modest sister, a flat land of coral, called by the same people simply and with reverence: Wa’omoni, "The land with holy waters." These were to become, through centuries and through blood, Antigua and Barbuda.

The Cartographer’s Promise
The year was 1571, and the ocean was not yet tamed by man — a living creature, unpredictable and mysterious. In a tiny port town just across the water from Lisbon, a mapmaker named Mateo Alvarado hunched at his desk, the pungent aroma of ocean and parchment-old thick in the room. His hand shook a little as he drew a thin line of shore — a location no captain had ever come back to tell tales about.

Shambhala — The Hidden Kingdom. AI-Generated.
Karma had spent his life chasing legends. From the moment he could remember, stories of Shambhala—the hidden kingdom in the Himalayas—had filled his imagination. In his small Tibetan village, elders spoke of it not as a physical place, but as a realm of perfect harmony, invisible to anyone who carried fear, greed, or impatience. Some dismissed it as myth. Others claimed to have glimpsed it, only to vanish into the mountains.

The Twin Tunnels
High School is a bizarre time. A time of life when everything you’ve gathered as true unravels like a fishing rod with an award-winning bass on the hook. The strangest of these truths is an odious concept introduced to boys entering their adolescent years known as male pride. This nonsensical concept drives boys and men alike into all manner of boneheaded behaviors, and the overcast evening in October of 2013 was no exception.

Perseverance
Living in the year 1819 meant only one thing for a large segment of the population—poverty and despair. There were no government subsistence programs, unemployment checks, or homeless shelters. During this time in our history, the country was in the middle of a severe depression and everyone had to fend for themselves. It was certainly not a good time to be a ten-year-old boy abandoned by his parents and living in the streets of Boston. That, however, was the situation young Raymond was in. Added to his problems was that he was born with a club foot.

Plague Doctor’s Journal
The journal was found in a wooden chest beneath the floorboards of an old house in Venice. Its pages were brittle, its ink faded, but the handwriting was elegant and precise. On the first page was a single line written in Latin: “To heal the living, one must walk with the dying.”

Crown of Dust
In the heart of an old English town stood a crumbling mansion that had long been forgotten. The locals called it the Ashbourne House. Its gates were rusted, its windows clouded, and ivy crawled like veins up its walls. But once, it had been filled with laughter, music, and light.
