Were True Friends (Poem and Song)


Its not easy to find someone like you
Not all the people were true
Not all the people were just  like you
Because there is only one you

Were True Friends
'Til the end
Whenever Im on a fight
You are always on my side

Were True Friends
'til the end
We hangout here and hangout there
and I know that you care

Were True Friends
'til the end
The best among my Friends
Bestfriends 'til the end

When I am all alone
When there's no one to
talk with me on the phone
Who's the one who would always come to me?

Were True Friends
'Til the end
Whenever Im on a fight
You are always on my side

Were True Friends
'til the end
We hangout here and hangout there
and I know that you care

You Love me
and I love you
and I know that you were True
and you turn my skies so blue

Were True Friends
You're here 'til the end
You have an arm to lend
Best Friends til the end..
Bestfriends...til the end

                                                              ~The Secret Of The Star~

                                                                 (Summary of My Novel)

Eris Fitzherbert was now seventeen.He was a son of a former Lord who lost all his wealth.He just learned that he is a son of a long lost Princess of the Hagreth’s Kingdom who was enslaved by an ugly Beldam.Almost half of his life,he felt nothing but suffer.But it was no reason for Eris to believe that he’ll soon do something great.

On the Hagreth Kingdom,the Old King was aging and looking for the right heir of his throne.He has seven sons but he feels that no one ever deserves to be a King.He chose his own daughter Marie Luna who was now 20years missing.He does not have any options or ideas but his most trustful adviser gave him a suggestion.After hearing the suggestion,he quickly told his seven sons
Edward,John,Frederick,Friedrich,Louis,Kenneth and Henry to catch and tame a young blue star.To prove that it was tamed,it must be turn to pink.The one who can do it shall be the King.

Eris’ father told him about her mother The Long Lost Princess Marie Luna.It was 17years ago her mother was a very beautiful attractive Princess.She was a slave of an ugly Beldam.His father wanted to take her away but she was tied on a rope that can never be cutted.During the absence of the Beldam,the two were always together and that relationship results of having Eris.

Before he was born,his mother gave his father a box and said never to open it and only gave it to Eris when he turned seventeen.
And now Eris have the box,he opened it.With astonishment,he opened the box that contains a gold dust,a rope and a Falling Star Locket.It has a note on it.He read it and it says.
“Blow all the golden dusts on the top of the RavenWood Mountain and make a wish…Catch the star with the rope and never let it go..and bring it to the Kingdom you never know and soon your opportunities will soon show”

He followed all the directions but he doesn’t even know why.He blew the golden dust and it flew away up into the sky.He saw a shining blue Star shines even more but it looks like it was falling.He run away but it was like the falling star was following him.The Blue Star crashed along and surrounds smoke everywhere.
He looked at it but he did not see a star,but a beautiful Lady with a strange bluish color,her name was Pharangle.It screamed and shout all along.Eris tied her foot with the rope and the star could not escape.
The Star was a loud one and feels irritable,she is always mad and the two always fight.Eris decided to travel somewhere to find a Kingdom.The two were together travelling for many days.And soon the two learned to be friends.But they know in themselves they feel way more than friends.

They found themselves on a Town called “Mackhaile”,a busy town full of magic and spells.The news spread out about the star and everyone wants to catch her and be the King.One of them was the Old Beldam.
Pharangle was afraid but Eris protect her as long as he could.The Beldam challenged him but with the sword from his father,he easily defeated him with a great unexpectable strength.Then a Lady appeared who told him that he was her mother.Eris felt it and the two hugged.The Princess was so happy to hug and have his son back and also glad to see the Star.

When they travel,Eris met a beautiful young Lady who said her name was Scarlet.She was very seductive and Eris was caught.He was hypnotized saying that he will marry her.The Star heard it and felt heartbroken.She then decided to leave.
The Lady was really a witch,the youngest of the “Three Witch Sisters”.Eris was imprisoned and turned into a rat.Meanwhile Eris’ mother told her that Eris was in danger.Pharangle was worried and she traced where Eris was.

He was imprison on an Old Castle.When the Star entered,the three witches welcomed her.The Star was mad and ask for Eris.The Witches replied.
“You can only have him if you choose the right one” said the Black Witch
“We turn him into a rat” said the Violet Witch
“And if you choose the right rat then he’s yours and we will all be gone and if you choose wrong you will be ours” said the Scarlet Witch.
Pharangle agreed.She was really confuse because there are thousands of rats in different colors and sizes.All of them were running away from her when she comes.Then she said.
“Eris wherever you are,please come back to me.You know what I feel?I feel Love…and I have seen Love for thousand of centuries.All stars have hearts but I think my heart does not belong to me anymore..I think it belongs to you now…”

After those words,a little white rat come towards her and squeaked.She realizes it was Eris and she choses the white rat and she was right.The Three evil witch vanished from the air.
Eris was back to normal,and Pharangle was so glad to see him.She hugged him and kissed him.
“You know what…I feel the same way too…I think I could never now live without you..Please stay with me” pleaded Eris
“I will…forever be with you..”said Pharangle
Then,Pharangle shines splendidly and little by little turns into pinkish-white(pale).Eris’ Mother saw it.
“You are the next rightful King of Hagreth..”His mother said.

After all what happened.Eris who was now crowned as King of Hagreth and Pharangle as the Queen.Together,they rule happily for a very long time.The Old King feels terribly sick and soon died leaving Pharangle sad and depressed.Pharangle was never aged she was a star,like a fire that flickers forever and soon she has to go back to the Skies.Her tears felt looking up above but she saw a new flickering shining star.She knew it was Eris but she has no idea how to get back to the Sky.
Eris’ Mother gave her a Falling Star Necklace and told her to wear it.She wore it and little by little turned into a thousands of pieces and flew up to the sky and becomes a Shining Star seen from the sky again.And so the two Live Happily Forever…

A Fairy Tale Turned Into Tragedy


      Has anyone heard about the Last Royal Families of The Russia?For me this story is so fascinating and their lives too.The Romanovs,an Imperial Family of Russia were the last dynasty who ruled the Russia from  1613-1917 (304 years).

One of the World's greatest mystery was Anastasia's.The youngest daughter of the Last Tsar of The Russia,Tsar Nicholas II and the Tsarina Alexandra.

She was born on June 18 1901(Aged 17) as The Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova.The 4th daughter of The Tsar.


 

When Anastasia was born, her parents and extended family were disappointed to have a fourth daughter, because they wanted a son who would be heir to the throne. Tsar Nicholas II went for a long walk to compose himself before going to visit Tsarina Alexandra and the newborn Anastasia for the first time.

She has three older sisters.


 Maria was an elder sister of Anastasia.
She was born on June 26 1899.(aged 19)


She is the sweetest of the four sisters.She was kind,sweet natured,merry and a little clumsy as well.She loves to daydream.
She has talents in painting.She has a face of an angel,her beauty was uncomparable.She's real beautiful inside and out.
Young Maria enjoyed innocent flirtations with the young soldiers she encountered at the palace and on family holidays. She particularly loved children and, if she isnt a Grand Duchess, would have loved nothing more than to marry a Russian soldier and raise a large family.


Tatiana.
Was the second oldest of the four sisters.
She was born on June 10 1897(aged 21)

According to many people she was the most beautiful of the four sisters.

She was very compassionate and caring especially for her family.She is the closest daughter of her mother.
Tatiana was practical and had a natural talent for leadership.Her sisters gave her the nickname "The Governess" and sent her as their group representative when they wanted their parents to grant a favor. Though she was eighteen months Tatiana's senior, Olga had no objection when Tatiana decided to take charge of a situation.
Tatiana is a very attractive girl. had exotic, dark features with widely spaced grey eyes and dark brunette hair. Old black and white photographs do not do justice to her extraordinary beauty. She had a special quality which one had to see in her walk and regal, feminine bearing.

Tatiana and Olga were called the Big Pair because they were close to each other and shared rooms,they were also dresses similarly.

 
 Olga

She was the eldest daughter of the former Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra.She was born on November 15 1895 (aged 22).

Olga was the most independent of the sisters and had a bad temper. She could be brusque and give people orders without thinking of the effect of her words, even when she was a small child. This kind of conduct unacceptable in the family, where all the children were instructed to be polite and ask gently for this or that to be done. Alexandra firmly believed ordering servants to do things one could do on your own was not acceptable and taught her daughters to follow this dictum.

Olga was the eldest of her siblings,she is a very quiet person and she's also smart.She is also a bookworm and she love choosing from her mother's selection.She is very honest but sometimes she was also rude and would even yell at her mother.


 Tsaresvich Alexei
He was the youngest of the Romanovs.He was born on August 12 1904 (aged 13).

He was the youngest of five children, and the only boy. His older sisters were the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. He was doted on by his parents and sisters and known as "Baby" in the family. He was later also affectionately referred to as Alyosha (Алёша) and Lyoshka (Лёшка).

He had inherited hemophilia from his mother Alexandra, a condition which could be traced back to her maternal grandmother Queen Victoria.

Alexei was the center of this united family, the focus of all its hopes and affections," wrote his tutor, Pierre Gilliard. "His sisters worshipped him. He was his parents' pride and joy. When he was well, the palace was transformed. Everyone and everything in it seemed bathed in sunshine." The boy bore a striking resemblance to his mother, wrote his tutor Gilliard. 

Despite the restrictions on his activity, Alexei was by nature active and mischievous and had simple tastes. He refused to speak anything but Russian and enjoyed wearing Russian costume.









Anastasia was very naughty,impish,funny and charming.She is a talented actress and she could even mimick people's manners and voices.She loves art,animals,photography.She is smart  and a fast learner but too lazy to study when school time comes.She is very funny but she would sometimes cause trouble,cheat at games.
 had blue eyes, fine light-brown hair and a thin, delicate nose like her mother's. People close to the family though she could have become a real beauty when she grew up. As a child she was small and impish. As she grew into her teens she put on weight and become rather round and pudgy in Siberia. Alexandra dispared of her weight and hoped it was baby fat to be naturally lost as she grew older. Her weight was a constant source of affectionate harassment in the family.

Aleksey and Anastasia had a close relationship, they seemed to communicate without speaking using some sort of sixth sense. She was always running to his rooms to entertain him with her antics - or steal food from his buffet tables. When the Tsarevich was ill, Anastasia seemed to 'feel' his illness herself. She knew how to distract him, how to make him forget his pain.
Maria and Anastasia were close as well. They had a phonograph player in their room, with a large collection of records. They liked playing them as loud as possible while dancing about their room, pounding on the floor with their feet. They knew the noise could be plainly heard below in their mother's rooms. They thought it great fun to make a big racket for Mama and her guests below. Anastasia played the balalaika and the guitar very well. She and Aleksey liked performing duets or accompany their sisters on piano. 

 
Anastasia was extremely intelligent, but prone to be lazy and inattentive. Her teachers found she learned much faster than her sisters. On the other hand she was easily bored and had trouble focusing on her lessons. She was a cut-up, freely dispensing her own kind of dead-pan, sarcastic humour at the expense of others. The whole family would crack up at her jokes. Nobody was safe from her tongue and brutal observations of other foibles. She had a cutting wit and knew it, it was one of her chief ways of getting attention. Painting was one of her passions, dogs were another.

She had one dog named Shibzig, who died of a brain disorder, which left Anastasia inconsolable. She and her canine companion had been inseparable and his death was a great shock to her. For a while after she lost him Anastasia became humorless, quiet and pensive. Little Shibzyg was buried on the Children's Island near the other family dog graves, surrounded by lily-of-the-valley. The children had a special service for him with special hymns and prayers. Later, to help her get over the loss Anya Vyrubova gave Anastasia another little dog, Jimmy, who died in the Grand Duchess' arms in Yekaterinburg.
Anastasia and her older sister Maria were known within the family as "The Little Pair." The two girls shared a room, often wore variations of the same dress, and spent much of their time together. Their older sisters Olga and Tatiana also shared a room and were known as "The Big Pair." The four girls sometimes signed letters using the nickname, OTMA, which was derived from the first letters of their first names.


 Despite her energy, Anastasia's physical health was sometimes poor. The Grand Duchess suffered from the painful condition hallux valgus (bunions), which affected both of her big toes.Anastasia had a weak muscle in her back and was prescribed twice-weekly massage. She hid under the bed or in a cupboard to put off the massage.


Most in the household, including the servants, generally called the Grand Duchess by her first name and patronym, Anastasia Nikolaevna, and did not use her title or "Her Imperial Highness." She was occasionally called by the French version of her name, "Anastasie," or by the Russian nicknames "Nastya," "Nastas," or "Nastenka." Other family nicknames for Anastasia were "Malenkaya," meaning "little (one),"

Living up to her nicknames, young Anastasia grew into a vivacious and energetic child, described as short and inclined to be chubby, with blue eyes and a strawberry blonde hair.Margaretta Eagar, a governess to the four Grand Duchesses, said one person commented that the toddler Anastasia had the greatest personal charm of any child he had ever seen.While often described as gifted and bright, she was never interested in the restrictions of the school room, according to her tutors Pierre Gilliard and Sydney Gibbes. Gibbes, Gilliard, and ladies-in-waitingLili Dehn and Anna Vyrubova described Anastasia as lively, mischievous, and a gifted actress. Her sharp, witty remarks sometimes hit sensitive spots.

Despite her energy, Anastasia's physical health was sometimes poor. The Grand Duchess suffered from the painful condition hallux valgus (bunions), which affected both of her big toes.
