Sažetak:

Ova kratka priča slijedi pustolovine prognane princeze koja čak ni ne zna da je princeza i živi u čudnovatoj zemlji koja nadilazi običnu maštu. U njezinom svijetu obitavaju svakojaka čudnovata bića od kojih su neka dobra a neka zla. Njezina pustolovina započinje onoga dana kada njezina sestra koja vlada domenom ljudi biva oteta od strane kralja štakora. Prognana princeza je pozvana na dvor koji obitava na visokoj litici i na njezinu odgovornost je stavljena sudbina cijele domene kojom je njezina sestra vladala. Prognana princeza odbija tu dužnost i sa svojim magičnim prijateljima jednorogom i vilom kreće u svijet da nađe svoju nestalu sestru. Na svom putu će sresti ledena bića, štakorlike zvijeri, vodene ljude, duhove, vilenjake pa cak i anđele. Njezina potraga bit će ispunjena svakojakim izazovima koja će staviti njenu hrabrost i odlučnost na kušnju. U ovoj priči spoj simbolike i fantazije ukazuje na probleme današnjice i uči nas da nijedna situacija nije bezizlazna i da kad nam je najteže moramo smognuti snage i ići naprijed i nikad ne gasiti svoju znatiželju jer taman kad pomislimo da smo došli do kraja svoje priče i da smo odradili sve što smo trebali uvjek će se otvoriti nova vrata koja nas mogu odvesti u novu pustolovinu. Za sve to je potrebna volja i mašta koja je naše pogonsko gorivo u našim životima, u našoj potrazi za avanturom i novim saznanjima koja samo život može ponuditi.

This short story follows the adventures of the Exiled Princess who does not even know that she is a princess. She lives in a magical world that exceeds common imagination. Many magical creatures live in this world of hers. Some of them are good and some of them are evil. Her adventure began the day when the Rat King kidnapped her sister who rules the Domain of Humans. The Exiled Princess was summoned to the castle that resides on the high cliff and she was charged to rule the Domain of Humans now that her sister is missing. The Exiled Princess refused to take that charge upon herself and along with her magical friends who are a unicorn and a fairy set out on a quest to find her missing sister. She meets many beings on her journey. She meets ice creatures, rat creatures, water people, ghosts, elves and even angels. Her quest will be filled with all sorts of challenges that will put her courage and determination to the test. Mixture of fantasy and symbolism shapes this story and points out the major problems of our society. It teaches us that every situation and problem can be overcome and when push comes to shove, it is up to us to push back and move forward. This story teaches us that we should never stop being curious, for just as we might think that we have reached the end of our journey there will always be a new door for us to step through and find new adventure. For that to happen all we need is the strength of will and imagination. Both these forces are the fuel that drives us forward in our search for adventure and new findings that only life can offer.

Bilješka o autoru:

Orsat Stražičić rođen je 24.08.1988. u Dubrovniku. Diplomirao je na dubrovačkom sveučilištu, studij elektrotehnike i komunikacijskih tehnologija u pomorstvu. Kao agnostik život je posvetio tražeći balans u životu što i svjedoče njegove priče i način života. Nikad ne tražeći previše, a uvijek davajući i više od onoga što ima šireći što pozitivniju energiju. Od svoje sedme godine bavi se Karateom te je 2007. godine došao do majstorskog zvanja. Obučavao je mnoge borilačkim vještinama te nastupao na mnoštvu Karate, Jiu-Jitsu te MMA natjecanja i postigao zavidan uspjeh. Radio je kao portir, prodavač i na kraju noćni recepcioner gdje je mogao iskoristiti tišinu noći i dati život svojim pričama. U tom periodu je napisao tri knjige. Naravno i u trenucima nezaposlenosti noć je prigrlio kao vječitu suputnicu svoga stvaralačkog puta te napisao četvrtu i petu knjigu. No ni tu nije kraj njegovom stvaranju. Kako je Korona Kriza uzela maha i izolacija je postala nešto što se ne može izbjeći, utočište je našao u svijetu mašte i napisao svoju jedanaestu knjigu. Tih jedanaest knjiga je podijelio u 3 serijala.

Kao mirna osoba tihog karaktera i bujne mašte, započeo je svoje stvaralaštvo u srednjoj školi kad je napravio svoj prvi fan art strip od 500 stranica za mlađeg brata i kroz period od preko 10 godina napisao mnoštvo priča. Uzor su mu mnogi pisci fantazije kao što su Jules Verne, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, J. K. Rowling, Clive Staples Lewis, George R. R. Martin, Andrew Davidson i H. P. Lovecraft. Statirao je u seriji Igra Prijestolja gdje mu je jedan od redatelja serije rekao da ne odustaje od pisanja svojih priča i da završi ono što je započeo. Nikad ništa ne treba ostavljati na pola. Član je udruge Tri Dubrovkinje plus udruga pjesnika i ostalih umjetnosti. Udruzi je cilj promoviranje i poticanje prvenstveno novih, mladih i neafirmiranih umjetnika u kulturi te okupljanje svih vrsta umjetnosti. Velika strast mu je fotografiranje i crtanje te na svojoj umjetničkoj stranici deviantart.com ima prezentirano preko 15 000 fotografija i crteža koje je također koristio kao ilustracije u svojim pričama. Napisana djela su mu

˝Final Legacy/Konačna Ostavština ˝,

˝Hidden Stories of the Scribe/Pisarove Skrivene Priče˝,

˝Legacy of Light and Darkness/Ostavštine Svjetla i Tame˝,

˝The Rise of the Nothingness/Ustanak Ništavila˝,

˝The fall of Creations and the Spiral Doorstep of Sorrow/Pad Kreacija i Spiranli Prag Očaja˝,

˝Dream Story Trilogy/Trilogija Priča o Snu˝,

˝Madness Trilogy/Trilogija Ludila˝,

˝Quest of the Exiled Princess/Potraga Prognane Princeze˝,

˝Demons Within Us…/Demoni u Nama…˝,

˝FREELANDERS˝,

˝Dark Mermaid/Mračna Sirena˝ i druge kratke priče. . .

te su sve napisane na engleskom jeziku i zajedno sadrže preko pola milijuna riječi. Priče same po sebi naginju ka mračnoj strani i govore puno o životu samog pisca i o njegovom razmišljanju, pogledima na život i događanjima koja su vješto kamuflirana unutar zbivanja samih likova. Priče same po sebi služe kao fiktivna biografija pisca i pokazuju njegov osobni razvoj te naposljetku razvoj kao ljudskog bića.

Orsat Stražičić was born 24.08.1988. in the town of Dubrovnik. He graduated at the University of Dubrovnik in the town of Dubrovnik. He studied electronics and maritime communication technologies. He lived as an agnostic and dedicated his life in finding balance and his stories and his way of life can attest to that. He never asked for much but always gave more than he could and thus spread the positive energy. He practiced Karate since he was seven years old and became a black belt master in 2007. He trained many over the course of time and participated in many martial arts competitions. After finishing school he worked as a bellboy, salesman and in the end as a night receptionist where he could use the silence of the night and give life to his stories. In that period, he wrote three books. In the period of unemployment, again he embraced the night as a loving companion on his creative journey and wrote his fourth and fifth book. But, even that wasn’t the end of his creative journey. Corona Crisis took hold and the isolation became something that could not be avoided, he found refuge in the world of fantasy and wrote his eleventh book. Those eleven books were later on divided into three serials.

He was always a calm person with colorful imagination, he began his creative work in high school where he made his first fan art comic, which has over 500 pages for his little brother and then in the span of 10 years wrote many other stories of his own. His inspiration came from writers such as Jules Verne, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, J. K. Rowling, Clive Staples Lewis, George R. R. Martin, Andrew Davidson and H. P. Lovecraft. He was an extra in the series Game of Thrones where one of the directors told him not to give up writing and to finish what he has started. He is the member of the organization Tri Dubrovkinje plus udruga pjesnika i ostalih umjetnosti. The goal of the organization is to promote and encourage young artists in all aspects of art. His great passion is photography and drawing and he has presented over 15 000 works on the deviantart.com art page. He also used some of his own works as illustrations for his stories. He wrote thus far these titles

˝Final Legacy˝,

˝Hidden Stories of the Scribe˝,

˝Legacy of Light and Darkness˝,

˝The Rise of the Nothingness˝,

˝The fall of Creations and the Spiral Doorstep of Sorrow˝,

˝Dream Story Trilogy˝,

˝Madness Trilogy˝,

˝Quest of the Exiled Princess˝,

˝Demons Within Us…˝,

˝FREELANDERS˝,

˝Dark Mermaid˝ and many other short stories. . .

And they are all in English and together they consist of over half a million words. The stories themselves tend to lean to the dark side and speak a lot about the life of the writer himself and attest to his thoughts and views of the life and happenings in his life. All of that is skillfully camouflaged within the characters themselves as the stories themselves serve as a fictional biography of the writer and show his personal growth as a human being.
