On the Twenty Fifth of March, in a year gone by, began a tale..
A tale of a young man, cursed forever..
A tale of a young woman, whose name meant happiness..
A Gothic Tale of star-crossed hearts, in a parallel reality called the world of Arhasia..
A tale told to her listeners by the Storyteller Aquiline, learnt of from the Lady in the Dark Hood..
A tale that enthralls all
A year has gone by, and we still marvel at the magical, wonderful story that has us captured with its beautiful words, heart-stopping twists and mesmerizing "Rabba Ve" moments...
So here's celebrating one year of minute analysis of each update..
Laughing, crying, shivering and sharing with our Aquiline..
Of Master Menace and the Village Girl...
Of curses and cures...
Of pure hearts and doomed souls...
Of love that heals and hatred that hurts...
Of dances, orchards and meetings at the Inn...
Let us celebrate all the ethereal beauty of words and thoughts called The Beasts and The Bleeding Roses written by our very own Aquiline!

Sitting in the Inn waiting for the amazing story teller with the lattest installment of story... sometimes I felt myself under the effect of fear..." "Sometimes I felt myself trapped in the mysteries of characters and story... Sometimes I laugh sometimes I wept... I have gone through so many many emotions..."

"You know it and yet I cannot stop but repeat that YOU are a fantabulous writer. From the way you write I have this picture of you in my mind. A very humble person, loving, bright, creative, friendly and someone who binds all of us to one thread which is TBATBR. You not only bind but pull us like a magnet to you with your writing. There is some kind of magical power in your story, updates, prenotes and the interaction which is different from the others."

" The flair with which you narrate takes me to the land itself and I live every experience put down by you."
