Strange Waters

Back to the moon realm

Many have been out of their safe haven and comfort zones and many have not been able to cope outside this places. But for some, it has been an opportunity to explore their inner potentials and uncover their true self. Surely Sandy has to be one of this people. It was an amazing experience for Sandra Flinnch. She had gone on her first voyage in a world where anything was impossible to believe and everything was possible. She was sailed with warriors that guarded the territoies of the waters that runs deep and wide.warriors who were sword to a throne and defended their territories. She fought a battle that wasn't hers and without prior knowledge of what to expect especially for a world she can only dream of. Save to say she was finally back to at least a world she started to understand and it was finally over for now. She landed on the shores of the Atlantic and the empire was up in cheers and flares on the arrival of the ship. The prince was truly loved by the people and she only wished for such adornment on her world when she was celebrated.

 On arrival there was to be a great feast, the masses praised and hailed the royal kindred and his army. The prince was happy to see his people after going through an unfamiliar phase. Sandy was eager to rest her hand in a place other than the ship. Ibinabo and Prince Nathan were off to thier official positions as soon a they landed. They all took their burdens to the kings chambers where he say patiently waiting for their arrival.The Prince was highly welcomed by the Emperor and his council men with a hugs and cheers as he entered the throne room to see his father. He knelt before him in respect after exchanging traditional greetings with the council men who were outside the throne room. The Emperor welcomed him with a complete stare of adoration and also inspecting the bruises on his knuckles and face. He must have missed seeing him and the fact that he reflected the younger version of him. Wild and reckless, triumphant, skilled and extremely handsome. The Emperor was delighted to have his son back home again but he had to notice the uncertain mood of the Prince. So he had to ask him what was wrong as he didn't seem as happy as he should be to return home considering the dangers and lonesome moments of despair that he must had passed through alone at the Pacific Kingdom after he was captured.

The Prince was still upset and choked on his own self inflicted guilt over the fact that he had lost lives of his people and he couldn't save the warriors that came to do the same for him. It was a terrible experience at the Pacific, but the prince might have taken it too hard on himself. Meanwhile, the rest were actually glad make it out alive and back home. Maybe the prince had his reasons, or maybe he was just emotional and passionate about his people.

"Why are you this way Son, you look worried. Well aren't you happy to have returned to your home?"... The Emperor asked Jath.

He sighed and gave a hard glance across the room through to the Emperor. "I am, father, I just don't expect to be all that you can be proud of father. I have failed our people. We lost alot of lives back there and I was supposed to protect them all." The Emperor stood up from his throne and went closer to him where he knelt and used his staff to raise his head and looked at him in the eyes to assure him that he was a leader and he had to loose at some point in order to move forward. Prince Jath wasn't really feeling elated at the words of motivation his father kept spilling out. All he could think of is the times and chances he had to make a difference and maybe save a life or two, or maybe even more. He had to explain to his father that his curiosity had the best of him and it just wasn't bandits that could capture him. He purposely sailed passed the borders to see what lays beyond the Atlantic borders.

"What really happened couldn't be all your fault Son, Lord Nathan sent me words of your capture, and how much torture you had been through in the hands of the Pacific warriors. Rest your mind Jath. You're home now and that's all that really maters. The fallen soldiers will get the honour and memorial the deserve." The Emperor said as he returns back to st on his throne and demanded he come sit with him beside him soon as they as he was about to enter a council meeting. The throne room was empty, just him and the Edge was there present. The council men we're sent out as the prince came to see his father. Prince Jath looked around and saw a red scroll fixed on the plate right beside the pillars of the room. His current mood was a little relaxed as he saw that there so much to do in preparation of the battle of the Eclipse other than beating himself up over a situation he couldn't control but then he could have prevented if only he had done what was demanded of him. The prince was initially asked to survey the borders and make sure the guards that protected the borders were vigilant enough to fend off attacks from bandits and draw out and bring new coordinates that lead to the Pacific back home so the physician can study the change in tides and watermark the location that they needed to block so that of there is by any chance a plan to raid the Empire on the day of the Ecplise, the Empire would have enough time to prepare for battle without hier powers. But as he would have it, the prince decided to sail pass the borders to try to see and survey the Pacific but unfortunately for him, he was captured by the guards of the Pacific and brought to his knees. He was lucky the Queen was out of the kingdom, he and his accomplices must have been executed on the day he was captured but he was to be executed after the Queen returned giving him the chance to escape. Prince Jath wanted to tell him father that he wasn't just captured by bandits but he saw that the Emperor was too relaxed over the situation and he was at a verge of a war which always renders the Empire vulnerable and he didn't want to further bring him to an aggravated anger. So he left the truth hidden behind his tongue as long as it didn't hurt anyone.

"I need to change father. It's been a long day and night. I should rest. I would join you soon.".... Prince Jath said as he refused his father's offer to sit beside him and precede over a meeting. The both had a fair share of their own medicine. The prince hardly bends to anyone's will and the Emperor had no other opinion stand except his. So it was quite a relationship they had as father and son. Especially when the Prince's mother died at Childbirth, he had no other way of affection except through his father and the maids of trying empire who Carter for him as he grew. He left the throne room and headed back up to his castle to rest in his luxurious chambers just a floor above Sandy's room.
