Inundation Across Baguia Nation
In the realm of storytelling, water often plays a pivotal role, serving as a conveyor of adventures, a protector, and even a source of life. Let's delve into the world of fiction and explore some fascinating examples.
In C.S. Lewis' Narnia, water at the Fords of Beruna acts as an ally, aiding characters in their quests. The ocean in the Ramayana of Valmiki, on the other hand, symbolizes vastness and depth, serving as a source of ambrosia for gods and a significant setting for challenges and quests.
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, water holds the secrets of the earth and protects elves in Galadriel's realm, Lothlorien. Ulmo, the angel of the water, plays a significant role in this world. Water from Aslan the lion's eye in Narnia can even give life anew.
Water also plays a crucial role in the Harry Potter series, where Dumbledore wields water as a hallowed weapon in Rowling's London.
In the fictional world of Lewis' Dawn Treader, water serves as a means of transportation, taking characters on exciting voyages. This resonates with the speaker's personal experiences, who had to wade through floodwaters to reach a neighbor's house on higher ground and to commute to a seaside office.
However, not all encounters with water are positive. The speaker experienced a flood that entered their house before the era of smartphones and computers, and expresses concern about floods prowl about their streets. This contrasts with the peaceful waters of Rivendell, which keep out dark, scary riders.
The speaker hopes to write about urban creeks and rivers for a lifestyle section, presenting them as travel destinations. This aspiration is a testament to the transformative power of water, turning mundane surroundings into exciting adventures.
The speaker questions when the day will come when everyone can befriend the water, a sentiment echoed in the peaceful waters of Narnia and Middle-earth. The speaker's current house in Talisay holds up well against rain and deluge, providing a sanctuary amidst the elements.
In the real world, water continues to have a significant impact, as seen in the struggle to protect Cebu's shred of forest known as Nug-as, where trees and rare birds are making their last stand. Ents, shepherds of trees, could wreck a dam in Isengard near Orthanc, highlighting the power water holds over our environment.
In conclusion, water in fiction serves as a powerful symbol, a means of transportation, a protector, and even a source of life. Its significance in storytelling and personal experiences underscores its importance in our lives and the need to protect and cherish it.
