AN UNEXPECTED STORM

138 11 30
                                    

Prince Jeonghan leaps forward from his place when a big shock wave hits their boat. Every single person on boat jolts up from their places where they were resting. They didn't thought they'd have to confront a strom. Especially in this clam and sunny day...this was totally unexpected.

The way the boat swayed from left to right, made them shudder in fear. The raging thunder of lightnings and cloud above them made their spines shake in fear. The sudden rain also didn't helped at all.
"Push up the rope, On the deck now."  Captain of the boat screams for his crew. Jeonghan ran backwards, going towards the crew helping them in stabling the straddling boat. It was hard and long journey, he knew that but a countering a raging storm like this was a first for him. He didn't wanted to put more of his people in danger. "Prince you should get inside." Knight Seungcheol comes running towards him, already fishing open an umbrella to cover prince who was helping the people.

"No, I'm gonna stay here and help, make sure the people who are either injured or more likely to get ill, take them down in quarters."
Seungcheol stares at his Prince's face for a few seconds and then complies with his command. As they sail and unexpected wave comes and washes them all. Jeonghan slams into his side at the woody structure of boat. His head already started bleeding but what mattered most was his people's safety. So he stands up and gets near towards one of them crew members, Seungkwan, the boat boy. His leg was bleeding because of being hit by a sharp wood. Jeonghan helps him stand up and guides him inside.

"Oh no, the lighting is tearing the air cloth. We won't be able to sail more. Someone hold it up." Jeonghan hears the captain say. He runs towards the big cloth. Hands gliding on the big rope smoothly as he makes his way up towards the highest spot of ship. He stands on it, trying to keep the rope together so the cloth won't fall, but the fate wasn't on his side. A big tide came and washed him up. Throwing him down in ocean. Seungcheol comes out of the quarters as he looks around for the prince. But he was nowhere to find.

Jeonghan blinks as his arms sway beside him. He feels himself falling deep in water. His vision going blurry as water seeps through his veins and into his lungs. He didn't had the time to hold his breath. He gagged on the water in his throat as his eyes started to tear up, though one couldn't see them. He felt his body going limp and eyes coming to close. He tried to open them again, find a way to breathe. But there was no way. It was too late. Jeonghan cried he tried to scream but it was all died down by the heavy water around him.

"Am I going to die? Is this how it ends? I haven't even Able to save my people. What about father? I don't wanna die just yet."
Jeonghan thinks, and his mind went blank as well as his vision. His pulse stopped and his eyes shut. Darkness was all he could see, all he could feel. Oh what a fate of Prince who was going to save humanity...




Jeonghan coughs, his lungs going brisk because of water gathered in them. Eyes brimming with tears as he gags on water. He exhales deeply once he vomits all the water in lungs. He sits up and looks around, where is he? Is he at heaven? Or even hell? But this isn't what hell or heaven would look like. He looks around his surrounding. He was sitting on the sand near shore, between big rocks. The sky was sunny and clear with no clouds in sight. He sits up fully and proceeds to stand up. As he walks out of big rocks, in comes the view of big white oak trees. "Where am I? Is this an island? But, I haven't seen one like this on map." He mumbles to himself. White oak was said to be instinct. He didn't knew it existed at all.

"What should I do now? Maybe I should look for some people. Or food even. As it seems none of my crew mates are here." He thinks to himself as he walks ahead. Entering the big forest. Jeonghan kept on waking and walking looking for people or food. But none of them came to his sight and soon bright sunny sky turned into shinny night sky, with countless of constellations. Jeonghan hasn't seen before.

He stumbles upon a river bank, it was as beautiful as night sky itself. The river was small with a stream coming down from top of mountain behind it. There were water Lillies floating on the surface. There wasn't much light but thanks to fireflies. Jeonghan hasn't seen a view like this before, never in his life. It was so different from the view outside. He felt like he entered a whole different dimension. So beautiful, so enchanting. But it wasn't the mother nature who was shinning but Jeonghan himself too.

Hie silvery skin shinning under the moonlight and firefly's. His hairs were messy, and dirty but the urge to brush your hands through them wasn't going to subside if you looked at them. His eyes were glinting, looking at the view and for a minute he forgot everything around him. The sweet scent of Lillies filling his lungs with the rainy smell of wet grass and sandalwood, made his senses at ease.

Jeonghan flinched when he heard a twig snapping, he hurriedly turned in the direction of voice and called out, "who's there?" But got no answer. He stood at his place for a while and started to walk towards the voice. It was quite again for a few seconds before a heard a snarl. And then a roar. Jeonghan felt his soul leaving his body at the sight which came in his line of view next...
