Chapter 1: The Submerged Beginnings

Chapter 1: The Submerged Beginnings

Zayyad had always felt like an outsider, but little did he know that his uniqueness went far beyond mere feelings of isolation. From the moment he took his first breath, his extraordinary power became evident. Wherever he went, water followed.

Born on a stormy night, Zayyad's arrival into the world was accompanied by torrents of rain and crashing waves. The midwife stood in awe as the birthing chamber slowly filled with water, rising up to their ankles. Zayyad's parents, equally astonished, named him after the Arabic word for abundance, unaware of the irony that lay within their son.

As Zayyad grew older, his power manifested in more pronounced ways. Puddles would form beneath his feet, rain would pour from clear skies when he walked by, and lakes would seemingly emerge out of thin air. It was as if he carried an unseen reservoir within him, forever ready to overflow.

The locals in his small coastal town whispered about him, rumors spreading like wildfire. Some believed he was a curse, a harbinger of floods and devastation. Others saw him as a divine figure, a bringer of life-giving waters in times of drought. Zayyad, however, was simply a boy trying to make sense of his extraordinary abilities.

At the age of twelve, he embarked on a journey to discover the truth behind his power. His parents, worried yet supportive, bid him farewell, hoping he would find answers that had eluded them for years. With a knapsack slung over his shoulder and determination in his heart, Zayyad set off into the world.

His first destination was the ancient city of Atlantis, a fabled place lost to the depths of the ocean. Zayyad believed that understanding the mysteries of this submerged city would hold the key to unlocking the truth of his own existence. Guided by ancient maps and whispered legends, he ventured forth, unaware of the perils and wonders that awaited him.

As Zayyad left his hometown behind, the ground beneath him grew damp, tiny rivulets forming in his wake. His journey had only just begun, and he couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. Would he find others like him? Was there a purpose to his power, or was he simply a vessel for nature's unpredictable whims?

With each step, Zayyad embraced the weight of his watery destiny. The world may tremble beneath his feet, but he was determined to navigate the currents of his life with courage and curiosity. As he journeyed onward, the water followed, an eternal companion reminding him of the extraordinary path he was destined to tread.

Little did Zayyad know that his power was not a curse or a blessing but a catalyst for an adventure that would shape the course of his life and the world around him. The tale of the boy submerged in water had just begun, and the waves of his fate were ready to carry him to unimaginable shores.
