Murky Thoughts

Chapter 1

Falling Over

All Wonpil could remember was the those two arrows ripping through the water heading towards his parents hearts.Watching the arrow hit his dad straight through the chest.His father fell over immediately.His mom was had a arrow right in the head.She was frozen as blood dripped down her face.The guards rushed to their sides. He remembered swimming and thrashing his tail to get to them.

In all the commotion to save the king and queen no one seemed to notice the beeping.The horrid beeping coming from the bombs hidden all over the Castal.When they went off the whole place school violently.

There was ash and smoke floating in the water making it hard for the young prince to breath and see.He wanted to get to his parents before it was too late.

From the royal court to the average citizens everyone rushed out of the collapsing palace.

Wonpil was conflicted he had to leave in order to leave and continue the Kim legacy.On the other hand he couldn't leave his parents to die alone
it would surely haunt him for the rest of his days.

He swam towards the thrones dodging the pieces of falling roofing.The building started to rumble.

Wonpil froze in his tracks. He wouldn't be able to make it.Today started out as such a happy day,why did it end up like this.

He swam for the roof,closing his eyes so no loose pieces of debris fell in them.The second he was out of the palace it collapsed on itself. The force shook the sea bed and the orphaned prince looked as the life he spent years building up fell before him just like the castle

He slowly sunk to the sea floor.It was too much for the young prince to handle.Just a few hours ago he was grinning from ear to ear about his crowning.His mother hugged him with tears in her eyes.

"I'm extremely proud of you,Wonpil"

And he smiled softly towards her.

"Thank you,Mom.I'll make you proud"

"Would she be proud of her favorite son now as he sat on the sea flood crying"

Multiple tears fell from the young boys face.Multiple warm memories of his loving parents flashed through his mind.He remembered when he was much younger.He had done terrible on an exam and his father told him to "let it all out"

So he did.He cried bloody murder,it was ironically appropriate for the situation.

When he thought he had had enough he faced the sky and sighed.

Crying wasn't gonna solve anything as his mother always said but it felt so good.So good to cry,to wail,to scream into the ocean.

He could feel his heart barely beating in his chest.He took in deep breaths and looked back at the sand,smiling.

Why him?what had he done wrong?

The world was such a cruel place.

He stopped breathing.A part of the castle came crumbling down.He laughed silently.How amusingly cruel the world is.The bridge connecting his parents side and his quarters crumbled and fell knocking everything in its place.

It fell over the glass ball roomThe sound ringed in his ear.The cloud of dust came enveloped the area around the castle.He watched as it came towards him.

Pieces of debris flew all over him.Some hitting him square on the eyelid others leaving scratches on his face,arms and tail .

It didnt come close to the pain he felt inside.He felt light head and remembered he had to breathe.

In and out

The sound of mud shook him out of his trance.A much bigger chuck of the castle fell right into the garden.

Mud filled the water.

It became too dirty for him to breathe.He wouldn't mind though.He could die right next to his parents.

"Wonpil!"

It was too far,too muffled.He fell over and saw the surface and tried to reach for it.

The voice yelled again a little closer this time

Yet still too far

Wonpil felt his brain turn to mush.There was a face above his.Too blurry.He couldn't process what was going on

Every thought was just a murky thought
