Schloss Blutenburg and the New Boy Band

The absence of a father figure in the family for the past 6 days is starting to take its toll on the boys' mother. They have too much energy trapped in their bodies. Too many fleas in their bottoms. Despite their ears being shut, their mother is heard raising her voice at them more times than necessary.

This was when she decided they should take a 1.3km walk to a castle nearest to their house, Schloss Blutenburg.

The castle is built between two arms of River Würm, so when they arrived at the castle, the children would go so close to the banks of the thawing river, picking up stones and sticks and breaking the frozen river with sharp rocks at the expense of their mother's racing heartbeat and rising blood pressure.

The peace surrounding the castle was temporarily disrupted, with courtesy of the excited boys, who were shouting instead of talking to each other. The mother looked on from a distance, far enough so as not to be mistaken as someone related to the noisy boys, but close enough so that if one of them accidentally fell into the water, she could get there in time to... err.... jump into the freezing river and rescue him.(?)

When she couldn't bear the heart-dropping moments no more, she gathered them like a farmer would gather her live poultries to a place which she deemed safer. That was when she secretly hoped the two beautiful white swans would chase after and peck at them.

Unfortunately, the swans were settling themselves comfortably to snooze and couldn't be bothered by them, who were inching themselves slowly towards them.

As soon as they became aware that there was not going to be any actions, mother and boys began searching for something more interesting than watching those birds trying to fall asleep.

They stumbled upon four boulders the height of 140cm. Without discussing, each boy climbed onto them synchronously, standing tall and looking über cool, like they were the boy band of today.
