The Teal House

Summary:

In the heart of the City Kingdom, a peculiar family of orphans discovered a forgotten teal house, tucked away like a secret waiting to be told. From the moment they crossed its threshold, the house seemed to stir—its walls humming with a quiet magic that recognized something extraordinary in them, as though their hearts beat to the same hidden rhythm.

With wide eyes brimming with curiosity, the brothers uncovered the teal house's hidden magic. They brushed away layers of neglect and breathed life into its dusty corners. The aroma of home once again filled every nook and cranny. Flour danced in the sunlight, sugar sparkled like stardust, and the heavenly scent of freshly baked goods wove its way through the rooms, soothing their weary souls.

With each loaf baked, the layers of their family’s legacy slowly unfolded, revealing truths they never anticipated. The brothers had no idea what fate had in store for them.

Hello, I'm back with a new story :)

While working on chapter 19 on "Flowers On The Moon," I hit a bit of a writer's block. I'm definitely returning to it in due time.

During the early stages of "Flowers On The Moon," I experimented with numerous versions of the story. ''The Teal House'' was one of those variations. If you've read "Flowers on the Moon," you will notice that this story has several similarities.

I went back to this story countless times, rewriting it. Eventually, it became this whimsical and cozy world—one I never wanted to leave. I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

The world is... it's something. Frankly, I struggle to fully grasp it myself sometimes. In my mind, it's like an odd blend of the kingdom in Shrek and New York in the 60's. I know, it sounds bizzare, but somehow, It works (well, in my head at least 😅).

I hope you enjoy it,
All my love,
WLI

Edit:
As I've been working on this story, I've noticed some challenges with POV and tense. I'm gradually getting the hang of it, but you might still spot mistakes along the way. I hope they don't detract from your enjoyment of the story. Thank you for your understanding :)

Chapter 1: Prolouge

Chapter Text

Nestled in the heart of the small town, stood a charming teal house. It was built for the purpose of serving as a railway ticket booking office. Through the years, it welcomed many eager travellers and adventurers with open doors.

But fate had different plans in store for the teal house. The king wanted the railway station relocated to a grander town, leaving the teal abode behind. A young affluent man happened to stumble upon the teal house, its vibrant hue stood out and it captured his heart. Without hesitation, the young man bought the teal house from the town, transforming it into a magical boutique for his dear wife. Together, they adorned it with love, grace, and exquisite taste. They even summoned the hands of builders to add two extra levels to the building, a sanctuary where they could craft their own fairy tale.

But the young man's destiny took an unexpected turn. After his father's unexpected passing, he inherited his father's prosperous business. With a heavy heart, he and his dear wife embarked on a new chapter, accompanied by a merry band of seven children, who had been born and blossomed within the teal house's walls.

The teal house witnessed the comings and goings of countless families throughout the years. Many different businesses were established, some flourished, others failed. Like a nurturing guardian, the house embraced each new arrival, becoming a haven of growth, love and family. It measured the heights of the children that danced beneath its roof, engraving their milestones onto Its walls. 

An old woman, who had grown up in the house and inherited it from her parents, transformed the teal house into a cosy bakery. But after her passing the house found itself abandoned, forgotten amidst the now encroaching cityscape that threatened to swallow it whole. The house became a hidden gem, only the chosen few possessed the magic to see it. It would remind its passerby of the dancing waves of the sea.

But a new family, like none other, would soon stumble upon the forgotten teal house. The teal house immediately knew that they were a peculiar bunch, their hearts dancing to a melody that only they could hear. Misfit puzzle pieces, abandoned and alienated by a society that failed to understand their vibrant spirits.

With their wide eyes brimming with curiosity, they uncovered the teal house's hidden magic. They brushed away the layers of neglect and breathed life into its dusty corners. The aroma of home, once again, filled every nook and cranny. Flour danced in the sunlight, sugar sparkled like stardust, and the heavenly scent of freshly baked delights wove its way through the rooms. 

This is the story of that particular peculiar family.
