Excerpt
There
is a land called Shina so far away that the only way to get there is
to close your eyes and dream. It is a land where magic’s mystery
makes itself known. Where the light of LIFE, the gift of the MOST
HIGH, burns in everyone’s eyes. Where the Spiritfolk live and walk
amongst the peoplefolk, and it is where you can find Midnight, the
Keeper of Dreams and Protector of Children.
Now,
everyone agreed that Midnight was the most beautiful spirit to ever
be born to the land of Shina. She had the richest, blackest hair
with the richest, blackest skin, and the richest, blackest face you
ever did see. And without a question, she had the richest, blackest
eyes known to her land. Eyes so deep, that when she opened them, she
eclipsed the sun, calling forth the richest, blackest night. And
when her work was done, she rested her melanin-filled eyes, letting
the sun once again shine brightly on the land.
Now
Midnight, just like everyone who lived in Shina, had a job or a duty
called upon her in order to keep the land in balance. Midnight’s
job was to guide the sleeping children down the Ndoto River, the
river of dreams, taking them to Asili, the most mystical part of
Shina—where rainbows were made, where stars got their tickle, where
butterflies got their colors, and where each child was blessed to
enjoy the magic of childhood, a marvelous gift from the MOST HIGH.
