And they brought down the hindges supporting the caravan.
Who would have thought that the shadows had anay something obscure to this young soul.
As colourful as the umbrellas were
As intense as the sun made its way down the earth
As strong as the wind blew across the walls
And as mythical as his story seemed,
It still didn't leave room for the walls to reveal a man just like him.
The young sorcerer pleaded for their indulgence... he said that each umbrella hanging below the castle walls had a puzzle that only the happy and fulfilled ones could possibly crack.
The puzzle doesn't need the sun to stay.
A king can't be any less happier neither will any of his house hold, he said.
Who's going to invite the king for such cranky puzzle underneath shadows that were created by your intuition?...Asked one of the men from the yard.
You seem honest Young Lad, the man continued... and I know you are way better than what you 're doing now. How about a jar of rhenish wine in oak flavours and a beautiful donna (Italian term for woman) to keep you warm for the night.

You need Keep the umbrellas hanging to let this colorful city blossom.
He was still talking when a young man in armour approached him.
The king is pleased to meet with you... the guard who approached him said. And handed a scroll to him.
He smiled, this time almost teary.
He made way towards the man from the yard and said to him..."I do know there was something endearing about you. For the first time, I wasn't skeptical about that adviser thing you said.
I only came to save this shade city... until then, you will be my first adviser... let's inform the winning king together. It's no sorcery!
That's it... the Shade City is likely going to be safe, even if the siege occurs.
