Hi,
We all know how tough the time is right now and we are realizing now, how important it is to stay healthy. So, please, STAY AT HOME and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

LEGUMES-
The soybeans, split peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils and green grams all belong to the legume family. In India, we also call them as pulses. They are packed with heathy nutrients and rich in iron, proteins and calcium.
They also help to keep our bowels heathy as they are rich in fibre. They are broken down slowly and your stomach feels fuller for longer, if you eat them. They are usually used in salad or other side dishes.
My favourite legume is Green gram (Moong Dal) and when it is cooked in my house, I am always served the highest quantity :D It's also the first plant I had grown in my life as part of school project.
We all know the benefits of sprouted green gram salad, but yes, homemade sprouts are much better than the ones wrapped in plastic.

CHAPTER 02 - LIE
Pure soul.
They were ancient spirits and God's beloved children. He sent them to each fairy clan so that they can help the fairies in maintaining a balance between the humans and other creatures. The Pure Soul would choose a rider in each clan and would be visible only to that one fairy in the form of an animal.
The chosen rider would be the most powerful fairy in the clan and also their ruler. Every generation, the Pure Soul would choose a rider and guide them in maintain the balance.
When harpy queen Elizaveta came to know about the existence of such creatures and the powers they possessed, she wanted to have one of her so that she could possess the power of longevity.
Spurned by the fairies, a furious Elizaveta then attacked the innocent humans, killing them and destroying the balance.
When she felt the cold water being sprinkled on her face, Cyane let out a pained cry and opened her eyes to stare at the face of an unfamiliar man, who was hovering over her with a concerned expression etched on his face.
She had the dream. The same dream she had been having for years. A little boy was reading to her. He was telling her the story of her clan. She didn't know who he was, but his voice was soothing and she enjoyed listening to it.
Her grandmamma told her that it wasn't a little boy, it was her father who was reading to her and for a while, she had believed it, but now she knew the voice belonged to a young boy. Who was it?
"Hey, are you feeling alright?" the man beside her asked her leaning back.
Cyane took in her surroundings and abruptly sat up with wide eyes, when she realized, she was in the middle of the woods.
"You speak English?" the same man questioned.
"What? How?" she looked around in total confusion. How did she end up here? She remembered walking towards the parking lot with Izzy. She remembered sitting in another car. Then how did she end up here? What had happened?
She was still dressed in the same red dress that she had worn before running away from her wedding. Cyane stiffened at the thought of her wedding. She was supposed to get married... yesterday.
