The Guardian of the River A Slave’s Journey to the North E- book

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the plantation. The air was thick with the scent of magnolias and the distant hum of cicadas. In the heart of the plantation, hidden among the whispering willows, lay a small, dilapidated cabin. This was home to Elijah, a young slave with dreams as vast as the river that bordered the land.

Elijah had always been different. While others accepted their fate, he questioned it. His mother, a wise woman with eyes that seemed to see beyond the present, often told him stories of freedom and courage. “The river,” she would say, “is not just water. It’s a path, a guide, and a guardian.”

One evening, as the sky turned a deep indigo, Elijah sat by the riverbank, lost in thought. The water shimmered under the moonlight, and he could almost hear it

whispering secrets. Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes startled him. He turned to see an old man, his face lined with age and wisdom, emerging from the shadows.

“Who are you?” Elijah asked, his voice trembling.

The old man smiled, his eyes twinkling. “I am Josiah, the Guardian of the River. I’ve been watching you, Elijah. Your heart is strong, and your spirit is free. The river has chosen you.”
