The Whispers of Angiw-Angiw

  This is the seventh chapter of the historical fantasy entitled " Rhapsody of Nature ." Synopsis:  The blowing winds from the ocean enforce the will of the tribal gods... Esteban... Esteban... Somebody was calling the young conquistador but, as he was still staring at the vanishing figure of Kalila, he didn't notice the echoes. Esteban... Esteban... A gentle breeze began to pick up wind, causing the falling leaves to touch different parts of Esteban's body   but the young man was too focused on Kalila to realize another thing was happening within his midst.
