Strange Waters

Long live the Prince.!

Long live the prince!... They all cheered once again as the prince gave a vote of thanks to the ones who risked their lives in search of him. He glorified his father for sending out and giving them his superficial blessings. All seemed to have gone well but there was a minor casualty. Sandra flinch.

Sandy seemed to have spent most of her times in the supernatural realm unconscious than when she was awake and active. She had lost blood from the cut and her muscles were weaken from the strain. She laid there as Ibinabo had kept her. Where a fellow warrior looked after her. The healing potion had began to work as she was healing fast and the cut had been repaired by morning when Ibinabo checked, but Sandy was yet to wake.

"Who is this?"... The prince approached Ibinabo in curiosity to see who laid helpless since when he reunited with his people. He noticed her lay there but he wasn't settled enough to ask about her welfare last night. Besides she was covered up so the prince knew nothing about who was laying unconscious. "Sandra, Sandra flinch. She's not of our world. I thought you must have met earlier in the woods, when she confronted you." Pointing to her loin where she had a cut indicating that he did it. The prince turned to look at ibinabo in confusion. " I must say I have not met this soul before. The only man I met in the woods was the one I released right before you and he was not harmed in any way". How did she get that cut then?".... Ibinabo sighed and assumed she must have fell. Which she was right but then she was ready to listen to Sandy tell her how she sustained the cut when she wakes. She was covered in veil as the sun was blazing through the atmosphere. Ibinabo stood up and left the spot where she laid to meet with Lord Nathan who was in camp room engaged in thoughts on how to coordinate back to the Atlantic realm with his map. Prince Jath moved closer to where Sandy laid, lifted up her veil to see her face and just then he couldn't cover it back in a minute. He stared at Sandy's amazing features. Her lips were pale and dry but shaped like a cupid, her eyes were perfectly fitted under her perfect brows and her ivory hair was sheared all over her face, as he shifted it to see her face in full. She reminded him of a beautiful sunset in the Pacific Sun city and the moonlight at the Atlantic Empire. Everything beautiful and gorgeously created he sensed something alluring about her. His interest in Sandy's health increased at instance and he summoned for extra care to be administered to her immediately as he dropped the veil and went ahead to meet with Ibinabo and Lord Nathan further off.

"What Happened my Prince?. Your father is worried and so were we. How'd you get here and why were you in this woods alone?".... Jath smiled to Lord Nathan's questions as numerous as the were. He took a walk round the table in search of water."There was an attack, the bandits from the Pacific borders noticed the royal seal on our ship and launched an attack when they found out I was with just three men on board. We were outnumbered on all ends. We had to heave our ship forward pass the borders and find a fortress on the shores of the Pacific.(pointing to the outskirts of the island). But we ran out of luck as we were captured by the guards from the City of Sun.(..pointing down towards the cliff). They brought us into their city and held us as their prisoners. We were to be executed yesterday but I managed to escape and run for my dear life. I have been surviving in this woods since then hoping to wait for a bird arrive so I can be sure my men were still alive. I couldn't leave untill I was sure my men were no more and I am sure they are not. I saw a bird flew towards your direction last night and I was sure it came from the sun City. Desmond, the new trainer followed me and tried to capture me but he was too slow, I caught him off guard and used him to get to you guys before I realized it was you all. That bird you caught on the shores Ibinabo were sent by my men, if not one of them. We were to let it fly if anyone of us escapes to show we were still alive. We need to get this men before we leave." The prince said looking at Lord Nathan to seek approval from his facial reaction but he was left hanging as lord Nathan disagreed. "My prince, it's a big city down there and your father expressly asked us to get you and come back. We can't risk anymore lives.".... There was a mild tension between the three parties, the silence was broke after the prince said he would do it himself if they see no need to risk their lives anymore to save another. Leaving the table to get some air outside the room. Ibinabo followed him out after exchanging a glance with Lord Nathan. "My prince". She bowed. "Ibinabo,(with a smile on his face)... I am so glad to see you. While I lay in those shackles in prison, I had dreams of you and your lovely blue eyes that lights up like the starlights that burns from the sky. Tell me, why do you do this? Why do always have to risk your life keep people safe?". Ibinabo smiled. "I do only what is necessary my young prince." Do you think it is not necessary to save the men that stood by me through all this so I could escape?"... The prince asked and this time he turned and stared at Ibinabo. She was left in silence.
