Chapter 14

Zac felt his body floating, higher and higher into the sky. He was enjoying the trance-like feeling because it made him feel calm and at peace with himself and with the white puffy clouds swooshing past him.

Then, he started to come down.

Fast.

The swooshing clouds began to climb higher and higher with increasing speed as Zac plummeted, and he felt irritated that his comfort would now have to be taken away from him. He closed his eyes in an attempt to take himself back to the trance-like feeling, but when he opened his eyes, he was back at home.

He was standing right in the middle of the kitchen at his family’s familiar squeezed house. He could not understand what he was doing there, but the sounds of shouting and screaming outside prompted him to open the tiny back door and step into the rainy street.

There were people running and screaming everywhere, with a group of people clutching their possessions trying to make it as fast as possible through the drenched streets.

Zac stood there and watched as everybody scrambled about, wondering what was causing all the mayhem in this beautiful kingdom he called home. Vandals were breaking windows, and shops were being looted.

But what set Zac in motion through the damaged streets was the distinct clamor of conflict. He could hear people fighting in the distance, canons, and guns going off, and the clanking of swords.

There was a battle somewhere, and he needed to see what was going on. He ambled determinedly through the streets, passing a screaming child left in the middle of the road, crying with tears streaming down her beautiful face and clutching a small toy rattle in her hand.

Zac stopped there for a moment, looking at the crying little girl and wondering what she had done to deserve this fate. He threw a quick glance about him, trying to locate where the parents of the crying baby would be, but everybody around him either did not notice the crying baby or simply chose to ignore her.

Zac bent over to try and reach for the baby, but just as he did, a horses’ carriage zoomed past, narrowly missing Zac’s outstretched hand by inches, but managing to trample squarely over the little baby.

Even before Zac had noticed, he was suddenly drenched in blood, and that specific section of the road was swiftly given a blaring new color in the sheeting rainfall.

Nobody around him seemed to notice the abrupt tragedy—with everybody focused on their own problems.

Zac turned and started walking slowly in the direction of the mayhem.

Zac stretched out his arms to allow the blood that had splattered all over him to drip down systematically. He did not want to think much about the incident, and so he continued slowly down the street, the rain doing its job to clean him up.

By the time he got to the lower section of the street, he watched in amazement as two groups of people fought in the valley below. In the distance, he could see the famous port that led away from the kingdom—Poseidon.
