It is time to begin writing as the summer sets in the town lacking
seven hills. Everything is about the gatekeeper who plays his part in a
new start where new starts are not welcome as well as new gates. It was
his destiny to become a gatekeeper since the day he was born. Not only
his father and grandfather were gatekeepers, every male in his family
has been. So started Destino’s story…

The young Destino in his
sneakers loves to watch the Elf League where there is a tough
competition between Elf United and Real Elfs. He supports Real Elfs,
however most of his friends are fans of Elf United. He basks in the
sunshine with his Entweiser in his hand while he is thinking how much
the life will change for him in the next weeks after he starts working
as a gatekeeper.

The first years are quite full of fun that
Destino gets to know so many interesting people who are passing through
the gate. He is a respected man in his young outlooks with his warm
smile. Even once the most beautiful Elf princess in her elegant nice
white dress was in front of the gate and granted Destino a nice
reverence. She whispered into Destino’s ear: “Bonjour, jeune homme!
Je vais à la mer.”

The restless nights started for him when the
summer was about to end. He was having the same dream every night over
and over again like a broken cassette player cursed to play the same
song. The elf princess is covered by something totally blue that he
can’t define. She is waving and calling him to join her to dance
together. Before he did a move towards her, the dream always ended
suddenly.

The others found the gate abandoned on a tepid
September night. Nobody has heard anything from Destino since that day
but one person who tells how his story went on while the seas and the
two-moons are accompanying her in her dreams. She was never sure when
she should start narrating. She decided to keep silent for a while until
a gate opens another one and a gatekeeper catches his dream in the sea
of endless adventures…
