J. W. Cassandra: Fekete Sárkányszív és Keleti Szél legendája

J. W. Cassandra: „Fekete Sárkányszív és Keleti Szél legendája”. Ez a 8. legendám a
„Sárkánylegendák és -mesék” című kötetemből. A teljes legendát megosztom. A legendák a
fantáziámból keltek életre. Ezek a mesék, legendák, fantasyk a Négy Folyó Sárkánya és a 4
jóságos sárkány népei köré szövődnek, akik a képzeletemben élnek. „A Négy Folyó
Sárkánya” legenda ezek közül az első, és egyben a kulcs is. A Story-series menüben
osztottam meg itt 2022. jún. 26-án. A 2. „Az Aranykor vége” című volt, amit 2022. júl. 21-én
osztottam meg itt. A Sárkányok Népét” 2022. július 22-én osztottam meg. A 4. legendát, ”A
fekete ütközet”-et 2022. július 24-én raktam föl. Az ötödik legendát, „A Vörös Sárkánycsata”
címűt 2022. aug. 9-én raktam föl. A hatodik történetet, a „Vörös Sárkányharcos legendáját”
2022. aug. 17-én töltöttem fel ugyanide. A hetediket, a „Vörös Sárkányharcos és Fekete
Sárkányszív szövetségét” 2022. aug. 22-én osztottam meg itt. A jelenlegi, a 8. legenda a
legkeletibb szigetről és birodalomról szól, a harcról Bíborpikkely, a gonosz sárkány ellen,
valamit az „egyetlen vitézről”, és arról, hogyan mentette meg az egyetlen vitéz a királylányt,
aki oly gyönyörű volt, akár a tavaszi balzsamos szellő… A 9. legenda „Az ékszerkígyó
legendája”. Ezt még 2020. szeptember 7-én osztottam meg a Short Stories menüben, két
részben. A további legendákat és meséket véletlenszerűen fogom megosztani… A jelenlegi
legendát mind angolul, mind magyarul megosztom. Remélem, tetszeni fog. Remélem, mind
élvezitek a történeteket… Illusztráció: pemandang, Pixabay. ("Black Dragonheart and Orient
Breeze’s Legend", by J. W. Cassandra.

J. W. Cassandra: A szépanya tükre

J. W. Cassandra: “A szépenya tükre”, a teljes novella. A történetet elképzelt szereplőről írtam, a szépanya leszármazottjáról, aki nem azonos velem. Megosztom a teljes novellát itt, mind angolul, mind magyarul. A novellában szándékosan kevertem a tündérmese, a családi legenda és a novella jellemzőit. A történetnek kissé középkori színezetet adtam. Ugyanakkor napjainkhoz is kapcsolódik. Remélem, tetszeni fog! Illusztráció: Willgard Krause, Pixabay. (“The Foremother’s Mirror”, the entire story, by J. W. Cassandra. My short story I wrote about an imagined character, a descendant of the Foremother, she’s not me. I share here the whole story both in English and Hungarian. I mingled the features of a fairy tale, a family legend and a short story in it, intentionally. I gave the story some medieval-like hue. At the same time, it is connected to our days, as well. I hope you all will enjoy it. Illustration is by Willgard Krause, from Pixabay.)

„Where Are the Soldiers?” – The Bride Made of Vows /A True Story/, by J. W. Cassandra

„Where Are the Soldiers?” – The Bride Made of Vows, /A True Story/, by J. W. Cassandra: This short story tells about my beloved Grandmother. On the photo you can see the renovated version of the original photo. The photo itself is 100 years old. My Grandmother made vows to marry a war disabled soldier, indeed. As you’ll see, their fate was a bitter one. And there lived then many of such common people who became ill-fated because of world war. I was hesitating a lot whether to share her true story: I don’t like to write and share them. But for these recent very days the Russia invaded Ukraine I think so, I want to protest by every way against war. That’s why you can read this story here. I will share it here in Hungarian, as well.

J. W. Cassandra: A Csigák földje /Groteszk, részlet/

J. W. Cassandra: A Csigák földje, novella, groteszk, részlet. Képzeletbeli földet ábrázol a történet, ahol a csigák bűnhődnek azokért a bűnökért, amiket korábban a múltban elkövettek emberként. Osztályokat, illetőleg fajtákat alkottam számukra, és a “házas csiga”, a “tömbházas csiga”, a “kastélyos csiga” kifejezés az épületre utal, amit a hátukon cipelnek. Minden épület az emberire hasonlít. A történetet az “Ismeretlen ösvény” című novelláskötetembe illesztettem. Ugyanide más történeteket, groteszket, filozófiai értekezéseket is raktam, amelyek nem illenek bele a másik 2 kötetbe, “A Létforgatag maszkabáljá”-ba és a “Merész álmok”-ba. Kérlek, olvasd el a weboldalamon a teljes novellát: www.jwcassandra.simplesite.com Remélem, érdekesnek találod a történetet! Illusztráció: joergip31 vagy Jörg Prieser, Pixabay. A történet részletét mind magyarul, mind angolul megosztom.

Land of Snails, by J. W. Cassandra /Grotesque, detail/

Land of Snails, by J. W. Cassandra, a short story, a grotesque. I share here a detail of the story. It tells of a fancy land where the snails spend their punishment as snails, for the crimes and sins they had committed as human beings in the remote past. I made classes or kinds for them, and the expressions “housed snail”, “blocked snail” and “castled snail” refer to the kind of building they carry on their backs. All the buildings resemble that of humans. The story itself is placed into my short story volume titled “Unknown Path”. I placed into it all those stories, grotesque, philosophical essays that I could not place into the other 2 volumes, “Masquerade of Life” and “Valiant Dreams”. Please, visit my website for reading the whole story: www.jwcassandra.simplesite.com I hope, you will find my story interesting. Illustration for the story is by joergip31 or Jörg Prieser, Pixabay. I share here the detail of the short story both in English and Hungarian.

J. W. Cassandra: Az Aranykor vége

The End of the Golden Age, by J. W. Cassandra, by J. W. Cassandra, detail. I share a detail of my second legend that came to life and that live in my world of fantasy. The story as a Golden Age means only a fantasy, it has nothing to do with that of ancient legends. This age lives only in my imagination. As I mentioned at my first dragon legend, I have a volume containing legends and tales woven around the Four Rivers’ Dragon, living in my imagination. That legend is the first of them and is the keynote at the same time. The today story is the 2nd one, it is just as important as a keynote as the first one. The story is continued in my website by the following headlines: „Struggle against the Evil”. It was written in 2004, translated in 2021. Here you can see the Hungarian version. Illustration to my story is by p2227754, Pixabay. You can read my entire legend in this link (copy to your browser, please): www.jwcassandra.simplesite.com/ I share the first part of the legend both in English and Hungarian. I hope, you will read the entire work, as well. Please, leave a comment and like it on my website. Thank you.

The Grey Door

he curiosity turned into a panic for Morgan. He walked too far ahead and nothing was visible, only, he hoped, if it ended. Hence, it would be better to walk ahead further as he hoped so; maybe, it might have dispersed. “Ugh! Fuck!” Morgan moaned in pain when he fell down, by the time, had stumbled on something. “Ah! What next!” He screeched very loudly as he faced a horrible skull; nonetheless, stood up very quickly. Now, he found himself on a wooden panel which is very narrow. The bottom was full of human skeletons; so, I was walking briskly to get rid of it. “Where the hell am I?” he exclaimed harshly. By the way, the intense fog was still continuing mercilessly. His eyes, on the other hand, were watered and unable to see anything. “Ha?” he reacted when the visibility was available again. “Where’s here so?” he asked himself. Another world or dimension or somewhere else… While he was beholding them, he suddenly saw his name on one of the gravestones!
