Before Haiden find the ripped page of Charls's Bible, few hours ago, Haiden sells shells at the sea shore.
He sells it to his 'friends' and to his good elders for a few pennies.
He collects three or four worth of coins day by day just enough to buy food.
When Haiden is finished selling shells, a group of bully mocked him.
He even got thrown by a rock on his head and he got hurt by it really bad.
Haiden ignores them, he don't want to fight them back as he were taught of morals and good conducts, he treasured it.
Haiden Swekrov is just an 11 year old when he knew the world is broken and wicked.
Even just a young age, he is more matured than an average 11 year old kid.
He gained a deep understanding while he liveth his own young life.
He had so many questions left unanwsered bugging his mind everyday.
While Haiden is walking on the middle of the shore, he finds a ripped-soaked paper waving back and forth on the shore.
It was the ripped page of Charls' Bible that got stranded while persecutors are trying to kill Charls.
He picked it out and seared it first so it can't be totally ripped and read after.
He didn't understand it as he don't know the language that are written in it.
It is not translated in his mother tongue.
He folded it and hid it thus, he suddenly felt trembling sensation when he touched the ripped page.
His plan is to show it to his parents first but he later cancelled his plan as he thought that he will never see the paper again by his parent's hands.
So, he ran to his house and quickly went to his room to write it on another paper.
While he's preparing his tools to write it, his brother, Bean went to his room to check him.
Bean: Why so hurried brother?
Haiden: Nothing, I'm just looking for something.
After that conversation, Bean left Haiden from his room.
And Haiden, didn't waste opportunity to write all words that are written in the ripped page even he didn't know what it says.
He carefully, and slowly write it all down.
He took so much time to write it all down.
From morning, he started to write until early evening that he finished it.
Every evening, his dad always come home, but in that day, he didn't come home.
His mother is worried and she called Hangrod to go to his dad's workplace.
While Haiden, his mother and Bean are waiting, a stranger is knocking to the door.
Haiden opened the door, when he opened it, he saw an old man and his brother, Hangrod - their faces are full of sorrow.
The old man spoke to Haiden and said;
"Where's Jamer's wife?"
(Jamer is Haiden's father's name)
While Haiden is about to speak, his mother, ran towards to the door hurriedly to interrupt their talk.
Haiden's mother is in haste and trembling for the sake of his husband, what a loving wife.
The old man talks to Haiden's mother and said;
"Your husband got in trouble, he's in a hospital right now, barely alive."
