Synopsis
The prosperous town of St. Augustine is reeling from the sudden, inexplicable death of its patriarch, Mr. Luis Hester. As the owner of the vital medicine and drug industry that sustained the entire community, his passing sends shockwaves through the populace. Grief mixes with rampant speculation: How could a seemingly healthy man die so abruptly? Was it hidden illness, foul play, or something else entirely? The mystery deepens with the discovery of his body near a secluded pond deep in the dense forest bordering the town. Authorities are baffled by the strange, unexplained luminescence emanating from the pond's waters where he was found. While the cause of this glow remains unknown and unsettling, it has become the only tangible clue in an otherwise confounding situation. With the town's economic stability and future hanging in the balance, and whispers of betrayal or darker forces swirling, St. Augustine is left in a state of profound shock and uncertainty. The pressing questions on everyone's mind are: What truly happened to Mr. Hester? And what does this mean for the town he built?

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER NO 1:

 THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH 

The owner of this huge system was the richest man of the town, a pale, tall and skinny man usually in his dress coat, with grey and small eyes and curly black hairs, he always had a huge smile on his face, his name was Luis Hester, but usually he was known as Mr. Hester or, Louis Hester in other countries. He had a family of four but now they were going to have another child, Luis's wife was Joyce Hester, a medium heighted lady with glorious hazel eyes and a pink meaty face and always coiffed hazel hairs, she was wise but always stayed panicked. Her elder son Ernest Hester was a rude clumsy boy, who was 6 years old in age but he was really arrogant boy, he was just as his father, tall, skinny, pale and had black hairs but his eyes were like his mother. His younger brother Mikel was totally an opposite personality, he was tall and skinny but he was rosier than his mom, having eyes of his dad made him another splendor boy of Hester family, but alas! He couldn't speak because he accidently ate a harmful herb when he was 3.

A year later they had a cute little girl in their home, Mr. Hester named her "Xenia Hester". She was a really cute baby with blushing cheeks and remarkable green eyes. and as she was held into his arms she smiled warmly, in a welcoming manner. She was a really cute figure in Hester family. As the time passed she grew up into a beautiful toddler...

 Years later when she was ten years old, she was just as heighted as her dad, her face was always rosy and her fresh sparkling green eyes were a really great reason to call her "princess of the Hester empire". but the only thing which made her a mystery was her nature, because she was more like an introvert between people and gatherings but, she talked to non-living and non-speaking things, like she talked to stones, plants, flowers and even to herself. She often had weird dreams and heard strange voices, but Mr. Hester told her to ignore it because it was weird to say that she hears voices out of nowhere and even can't understand their meaning so she kept it to herself. The only person in their family with whom she talked too much was Mikel it was because he can't speak so she normally told him about her thoughts and mood. Mr. Hester often talked to her even though he was the only speaking personality she talked easily. She saw him not only as a dad but also as an ideal, because he was always trying to find and explore things. One day when Mr. Hester went for the search of herbs in order to create a new formula for treatment of organs which don't work properly. 

 . Xenia was spraying flowers, while mumbling about her family." Ohh! You're so pretty tiny rose. well, I think I might name you. What about "Rosette", I wish you like that name. I like my name too, because my dad gave it to me, he often calls me "my warmth" because he says, "you are the sign of warmth in our family", to me. Dad always shows affection towards me. but mom actually is really busy, so she couldn't tell me about her beliefs for me, but I know that she loves me too. Mikel is my sweet bro because I just tell him all my feelings, but Ernst is the only one who hates me, I don't know why but he always glares at me as a useless thing. but still if I had a dad who loves me I don't care what others think".

Suddenly xenia felt pang in her heart, she heard voices again after one year because they stopped last year, but now suddenly she heard them. She felt something's wrong so she ran towards the forest alone, following the voice, she was too anxious to ask anyone to come along her. She then ran in the denser side of the forest, her body was wet with sweat her hands were trembling and then she stopped at a point panting hardly. But then she started to walk, slowly but precisely she just randomly called her dad going farther because he should be in the forest at that time. Her muscles tensed up because now the trees were thicker and it was difficult for even sunlight to reach the ground, due to growing mist the way ahead was unclear, xenia was frightened and anxious but she kept walking. As she moved farther the voices became louder and echoed, the atmosphere grew more cold and dizzy, she felt hopeless because she was lost and she had no choice but to move forward, but at last she gave up she slowly fell on her knees her head spinning due to loud echoing voice, she covered her ears to block them but they never stopped but then she started to understand what it was saying. It was saying "follow the light, you must follow the light through the dark". She repeated the phrase and then glanced in different directions to see if there really is light, she stood up and walked slowly towards the darker area, she was scared but as she went inn and saw beams of light. She moved towards them, the vision was getting clear as she went closer to the light, now those multiple voices were united into one clear voice, in a moment it vanished and finally it was quiet. She saw a small pond and to her surprise it was shining and the whole area around was in light coming from the pond, a sudden happiness arose from her heart too see the light and peaceful place. She stood on the edge of the pond and then in that light she saw a figure on the other side, it looked like a man is sleeping, after staring and focusing a bit she realized that it was her own father.
