His unwary fingers were busy scratching the dirt off the corner of his eyes. Unsleep hours nearly killed him in past few days. Swollen red eyes were shutting up on their own. 
I don't wanna sleep. I don't. 

Three days and three nights, he has spent searching for this place. Searching for what might become his destiny. 

Destiny. 
A valiant and venomous hiss muttered out of his dried lips. His unwary fingers now tried to set his hair right, but over the days and nights, the cold cold wind has given them a structure hard to contain. 

It's time. It's time. Now is the time. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

White bare knuckles on the concrete. White bare feet in the water. Cold splash taking the last sip of sleep he ever imagined. He couldn't feel his fingers. Where are they ?? Must be here somewhere. It's only when his right index finger pressed on a jagged side of a tossed up coin, he felt a little sting.

Another of them wishes biting the dust !!

Was he smiling ?? A cunning, voluptuous kind of smile. Like a Wolf looking at his prey on a moony night. 
Ok, let's start it now. 

He closely searched for the coins. he found some. 
No, Not this. Not this one. 

From a distance he must have looked like a vagabond, or a distraught beggar, looking for coins for a last meal. There aws a desultoriness in the view of his crouching down in the water of the fountain, and grabbing and groping the water, despite of its freezing atmosphere, and blindly looking for coins. And taking out and looking them closely, almost so closely, you could see them reflections in his surprised and excited brown eyes. Examining them and throwing them in the water again. 

At this time of the night no passerby crosses this street. Even if anyone did, noone cares for a madman gathering wasted coins. 
Noone cares for a wishing well. Do they ?? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

White bare knuckles. White bare fingers. White frozen water. 
As the cold grasps the limbs tissue by tissue, and turns them into bluestones, his grip goes tighter and tighter. Like, if he could, he could break his own palm. His fingernails might jackhammer through the skin and bones. 
I can't give up. Try harder. Try Hrader !!! 

He knows he will not give up. it's a question of willpower. And more than that it's a question of existence. It is about survival. The reason for survival is not counted by how many breaths you take, but by how you exist. There is a big difference between living and existing. For living you don't show up with clenched fist, tightened jaw. and sweating forehead, and a look that could give you every unplausible nightmares for days, you do that for existing. Existence. 

Philosophy took a back seat, as the excitement rose up. And a pair of hands broke through the freezing water. Waters jumped out of the fountain like crystals on a starry night. Split second visual extravaganzas. Then splattering on the water gain. 

I Found It. 
It wasn't an exclaimation. it was a verdict. 

Two hands over his head, like a prehistoric bird of prey, praying to its Gods. 
Tiny fractions of moonlight shined through his fingers. Some glittering blue light criss crossed against the smooth and shiny metal surface. A close fist. 
Destiny. It is mine. 

When he opened his tightly held fist, maybe for a single moment a glow hovered across his face, but then it quickly disappeared. In his palm lying were three coins. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your wish came true. Your heart was pure. Your heart was true. your need was true. Miracle, it is mine.

I call you now. You must come. You can't hide any longer.

You granted her wish. You did your miracle. Show some miracle on me too. I've searched for you so long. Now I found them. The three coins of Maria. Her wish engraved in these coins. And your miracle marked in them.

You have to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tinkerbell didn't realize what was happening to her. She was busy taking a slumber in her place. Entire day she was waiting for some wishes to come her way. It came. In thousands.

But not a single one worth fullfilling. She was already feeling wary. And disgusted. What do humans think? Don't they think about God ? Or Love? Or care?

All the wishes sounded so trivial, so selfish and so ... urrggghhh... She hated her new job. No, she must have patience. Yes, for a little girl she sometimes forhets her duty. And wonders around in the world. But she should be careful. She don't want to miss out any true wishes.

She wanted to catch a sleep. Obviously, at this time of the night noone comes to wish. But she can't sleep any longer. she was feeling an uneasyness all around her body. Some restlessness. Like something is dragging her away. Like a distant voice is calling her. Screaming her name. She couldn't hold any longer. A power overwhelmed her. And she was up, standing, and her wings open. And no longer she was in control of herself. All she could felt was a cold brush across her forehead. And cold water touchong her fingeryips. 

I'm in the fountain. 

The power broke off. As suddenly as it came upon her. She opened her eyes, and saw a man on his knees in front of her. That man was smiling. A smile that comes on your face when you see God. And in his palm were three coins. And Tinkerbell has seen those coins before. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who are you? 

I'm nobody. I'm here for you. 
 
I don't understand. Nobody can see me. So how could you? And I was sleeping. Hey, I was sleeping in my damn bed, and.. Did you just did that? Did you pulled me up from my bed and brought me here? What do you think? I'm available all the time? Don't you people have any particular time to make a wish? And did you just ... I mean .. How could you do that ? Heck.. are you casting any spell on me? Are you?

Hey cool down lady. Don't fret too much. Gross. You ain't very different from other gals. All ye could do is to nag and make a fuss. What d'u think? At this time, here, in this freezing cold, I'm here to freeze my ass off ? 

Hey. watch your mouth Oy !!! That's no way to talk to a lady. 

My bad. Now let's cut the chase. I'm here for something. 

Ta da !! Don't you know the rules !! 

Mortals, silly humans follow the rules. I'm not one of them. 

Ok. So who are you Mr Bond?

I'm Sanoray. The great sorcerer? Huh !! Haven't you heard of me? haven't you heard of the great Split Salt trick? What are you? Psychologically challenged? Dumb?

No. I'ven't heard of you. If you say what you are Mr. Sorcerer or what !! Now what do you want.

I need a miracle.

Everyone needs a miracle. Even I need a miracle to sleep it seems.

Listen to me. You are driving me bonkers. Never thought you'll be such a pain in the...

Oy. Not again. 

Ok. Ok. Let's talk business. 

Business ?? What was that supposed to mean? Do I look unemployed to you? Depraved ? Or Depressed ? 

Hey. SSShhhhh. Lady. Zip it. Zip it. Ok? 

Zip what ?? Do you see any zipper on my dress? And if it were there, do you reckon I'll zip when you say it ?? 

Oh Gawd. Will you please shut up for a while and listen or do I've to turn you into a chicken? 

Awwww..... Shucks. No. Not chicken. I'll listen. Tell me. 

So, you like doing these small miracles to people? 

Yes. I do. It's nice to see those faces light up with a smile so happy and so ......shining. Everytime I get tears in my eyes. 

Nice lovely happy stories. Aren't they ?? 

Yes . They are. Don't we all love a lovely nice happy story where they get what they wish for? 

Yes. we all do. Don't we Tinkerbell? 

Yaah. hey. What happend to your vouice? It was so nice and warm. Now it is so ... 

What ?? Evil?? 

I don't know. but not good. Ok stranger. Are you here to ask me all these questions? Can we do it tommorrow. 

Trust me. you don't want to do it tommorrow. 

Hey. What's wrong with you man? Now you are giving me spooks. 

I'm making a wish. 

You haven't thrown any coins. 

Now I am. Don't you see them ? 

Hey, those were Maria's coins. you thief. 

They are mine now. Maria's wish are in them. Your miracle made them powerful. Now they are mone. And As soon I drop them in the fountain, you have to grant my wish. Show me miracle. Or.... 

Or what freak ? You'll kill me ?? 

Oh, isn't that so simple Tinker Tinker Belly Bell? Yes I Will. 

Go ahead. Try your luck. What do you think I'm ?? Come a step forward and I'll kick your butt. 

Aha. Fiesty one !!! But listen once again Ms Bell. If you grant my wish, your miracle on Maria will no longer stay. 

What do you mean? 

The miracle will be reverted. She will lose everything. who knows!! maybe her life too ? Now do you want it? 

No. Don't do this. What do you want from me? 

I want...... I want a Miracle. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of the three coins hitting the water and then slowly hitting the ground underneath was a nightmarish sound, Tinkerbell felt a sudden chill rushing down through her head. The sorcerer, Sanoray, on bended knees, eyes closed. arms wide open. Head tilted upwards to the sky. A pristine yet cunning look driving on the surface.

What you wish for Stranger?

I wish for your death.

Then why don't you kill me stranger? Don't you have the powers to kill me?

No. I don't. I can't kill you. But yes, only you can kill yourself. And I know you won't. so I had to set it up with Maria's coins. If you don't die, she'll die. And I know, given the pure and kind hearted you're, you won't let someone else die for You.

You are clever. But why you want me dead?

Ahh... It's business lady. I live on this miracle, wishing thing. People come to me from far far away, and they wish for something, and I do it for them. Now you.. certainly you're more powerful than me !! And you are cutting your share in my business. And I don't want that. I know you won't go back. But you have to die.

You have everything planned, right??

Oh, sure. For so long. so long. Tinkerbell. People no longer come to me nowadays. They come here. This wishing well. What can you give them? Can you fulfill every of them wishes? Can you?

People come to you with unethical, wrong reasons, wrong wishes, selfish thinkings, and you help them?

Nothing personal Tinkerbell. Just good business.

So, you want a miracle from me? You want to see me die now?

Yes. I do.

For every wish that I granted. Every miracle that I did. Let them all stay here. And spread their happiness around. True and honest people will stay here. They will make the world a better place. They will no longer look for a miracle. They will find miracle in themselve. And it's time for me to go. Let me close my eyes. feel the wind on my face. feel the waterdrops. feel the prayers. And the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wake Up. Wake up.

Who is she? She is so beautiful.

She is a kid Doran. Stop ogling at her. Hey you, don't you have any place to sleep little girl?

The little girl stood up, she don't know any of them. She don't know this place.

Where am I? What am I doing here? I was sleeping under a fountain?

Who are you child?

I don't... How I came here ?? What is this place??

Are you alright? Where is your home?

My home?

The little girl looked up, the fountain, the water, the coins. Wishes. Miracles. Peace. Dream. But who is she?

Oh. Dear. poor child. let me take you my home. You are such a beautiful girl. Stay with me. I'll take care of you? So, let's give you a name, shall we?

Name?

Yea. a name. A lovely name for a lovely girl. Tinkerbell !!!
