OCEAN
A VAST BLUE OCEAN
SO ADEEP THAT THE DEPTHS KNOWS NO BOUND
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS VAST OCEAN
WE SEE STAIRS, BIG AND LONG STAIRS
UP THERE IS A PLATFORM, WHERE THERE IS A DOOR
A DOOR SO BIG, THAT IT COULD FIT
HUNDREDS OF MAMMOTHS EASILY
DOWN THERE, THERE'S A HOUSE
AS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL COMING OUT
SHE SEES THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE OCEAN
AND TAKES A BREATH OF THE FRESH BLUE BREEZE
THE BLUE OF THE OCEAN
AND THE AZURE OF THE SKY
BOTH ARE ENDLESS
JUST LIKE HER WAITANCE
AS SHE SEES SOMETHING COMING UP
TO THE SURFACE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
SHE SEES TWO MERMAN BRINGING HER FOOD
THEY BOTH GREETED EACH OTHER
SHE THANKED THEM FOR THE FOOD
AS ONE OF THEM ASKED -
"HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA WAIT????"
SHE REPLIED SMILING -
"AS LONG AS I HAVE TO"
MEANWHILE OUR KNIGHT -
KRISSHO SAW THERE'S NO LOST ISLAND IN THE SKY
HE BECAME SHOCKED AND SAID TO HIMSELF -
"THE LOST ISLAND IS GONE???
IT WAS RIGHT HERE!!!
FLOATING IN THE SKY!
EVEN IF IT WAS DRIVEN BY THE WIND
THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN GONE
SO FAR IN JUST A FEW HOURS!!! THAT I CANNOT SEE!!!
IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST WITHIN MY EYESIGHT!!"
AS RASOV SAYING - "SO HE FINALLY SAW IT"
QAYOMI SAID -
"HE'S GONNA ASK A TON OF QUESTIONS
WHEN HE GETS DOWN HERE, Y'KNOW"
THE CURLY HAIR GUY SMILED GENTLY
HIS EYES WERE GAZING TOWARDS THE SKY
WHEN KRISSHO WAS GETTING DOWN
HE MAKES A WALK FOR IT BY SPINNING
THE FLUTE BEHIND HIS THUMB
AFTER KRISSHO GOT DOWN
RASOV SAYING - "YOU FINALLY SAW IT, HUH?"
HE RESPONDED-
"YES, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
WHERE IS THE LOST ISLAND???
HOW DO I GET THERE BACK???
ISN'T THERE ANY WAY????
TO GO BACK HOME???"
"THINK ABOUT IT KID...
IF THERE WAS, WHY I'D BE STILL HERE???"
A SUDDEN REALIZATION HIT KRISSHO
AS HE MURMURS -
"THAT'S RIGHT
SO WHAT'S GOING ON??
WHERE IS THE LOST ISLAND????"
RASOV SIGHS -
"EVERY NINE YEAR
SOMEONE FALLS FROM THE LOST ISLAND
AND AFTER THAT IT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SEARCH FOR IT
IT COULDN'T BE FOUND
AND AGAIN AFTER NINE YEARS
IT APPEARS AGAIN
SOMEWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY
AND SOMEONE FELLS AGAIN
IT HAS BEEN ----------
BUT KRISSHO ZONES OUT AND STARTS TO THINK HARD ABOUT HIS LIFE FROM NOW ON!! AS HE CAN'T GO BACK THERE ARE TONS OF QUESTIONS SWARMING IN HIS HEAD
THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS HE WANTED TO DO
EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY REGRETS
HE STILL HAD UNCOUNTABLE LITTLE DREAMS
TO TAKE A BATH IN A WATERFALL
SPEND A NIGHT IN A FOREST
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS
STAY AWAKE THE ENTIRE NIGHT WITH RADHAYA!!
TRY THE NEW RECIPE FROM HIS FAVORITE RESTAURANT
PROTECT THE PRINCE OF THE LOST ISLAND
PROVE TO BHAIRAVAYA THAT HE'S THE STRONGEST
MARRY RADHAYA, OW BUT BEFORE THAT
ASKING HER WHY SHE PUSHED HIM OFF THE CLIFF!!
AS HE THINKS SO MANY THINGS AT ONCE
HIS HEAD STARTS TO HURT
AND A SNAP HAPPENS IN HIS HEAD
AS RASOV HAS BEEN SAYING SOMETHING ALL THIS TIME
AND KRISSHO WAS ZONED OUT
HE FINALLY CATCHES HIS SENSE AND LISTENS TO RASOV
- "NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT TILL TODAY EXCEPT FOR THE FEW PEOPLE IN THIS ENTIRE CONTINENT
IF THE WORLD OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
THEY WILL ATTACK ALL AT
ONCE TO HARNESS THIS POWER
THE POWER OF STATES AS I MENTIONED
UM...ARE YOU FOLLOWING?? KRISSHO????"
AS KRISSHO LOOKS AT HIS HANDS, BAFFLINGLY
AS IF HE WAS SEEING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME
AND HIS SURROUNDING
HIS AURA HAS CHANGED
HIS EXPRESSION HAS CHANGED
AS HE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON NOW
THERE WAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF SERIOUSNESS
A CLOUD OF DEMURENESS SHROUDED HIS FACE
BREATHING HEAVILY
WITH EVERY BREATH SLOWING DOWN
HE LOOKS AT HIS HANDS WITH UTTER SHOCK
THE LOOK SO BIG AND HE FEELS LIKE HE HAS WOKE UP
FROM A VERYYYY VERYYYYYY LOOOONG SLEEP
"KRISSHO?? KRISSHO!??? HEY??? KRISSHO????"
BUT HE WASN'T ANSWERING
AS RASOV SHAKES HIS SHOULDER AND ASKING
"HEY! ARE YOU OKAY??? ANSWER ME KRISSHO"
AS KRISSHO SAYING - "KRISSHO??? WHO'S THAT???
MY NAME IS SRISARASWA!! WHO'RE YOU??"
AS RASOV GOT CONFUSED
"YOU'RE NOT--- KRISSHO???"
"NO, I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS"
AS HE SEES THE SKY
AND HIS SURROUNDINGS
HE SAYS -
"I'M NOT AT THE LOST ISLAND RIGHT?
I'M DOWN BELOW
THE WORLD BENEATH THE SKY
AND YOU ARE HUMAN
AND THOSE CARAVAN RIGHT THERE
THEY'RE ALSO HUMANS
FREELY ROAMING AROUND
THAT MEANS THE DEMONS AREN'T IN THIS AREA
THIS DRAGON RIGHT HERE --
DID I GET DOWN ON THIS FROM THE LOST ISLAND??"
"NO"
"BUT STILL I'M HERE MEANS I FELL FROM THE LOST ISLAND
AND I'M STILL ALIVE AFTER FALLING FROM THAT HIGH
MEANS SOMETHING SAVED ME
SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL ---"
"HEY! HEY! HEY! WAIT!
YOU'RE CATCHING UP WAYYY TO FAST
HOW DID YOU BECOME SO SMART SUDDENLY??
YOU WERE DUMB JUST A MOMENT AGO
OR DID YOU JUST ACTED DUMB ON PURPOSE????"
AS KRISSHO NOT PAYING A SINGLE ATTENTION TO QAYOMI AND UPON FROWNING HE CONTINUES -
"- OTHERWISE THERE'S NO WAY I COULD HAVE BEEN
ALIVE AFTER FALLING FROM THAT HEIGHT
AND I FEEL SOMETHING INSIDE IN ME
SOME KIND OF POWER
I NEVER FELT IT BEFORE
AND I SUPPOSE THAT POWER SAVED ME
I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THIS POWER
BUT NOW THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION
THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS
HOW THE HELL I GOT SO BIG??
AS FAR AS I REMEMBER
I WAS A LITTLE KID
WHAT YEAR IS IT??? "
"IT'S 973 GOLDEN YEAR"
"WHAT'S A GOLDEN YEAR??"
"COUNTING FROM THE END OF THE GOLDEN AGE"
"I SEE, YOUR YEAR COUNTING SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
ALL I REMEMBER IS I WENT HOME ONE NIGHT
AND I FELL ASLEEP WHILE CRYING
WISHED SO HARD TO HAVE ONLY ONE FRIEND
AND I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW IS
I'M ON THE WORLD BENEATH THE SKY
WITH YOU PEOPLE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH
BUT I ASSUME YOU HELPED ME
THANK YOU FOR THAT"
AS RASOV IS COMPLETELY STUNNED
OF HOW KRISSHO WAS CATCHING UP TO THINGS
SO FUCKING FAST AND ASKS HIM
"WHO ARE YOU?"
REPEATING AGAIN -
"HUH? I JUST TOLD YOU
I'M SRISARASWA
WHO'RE YOU????"
"YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING?
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MEMORY FROM THE SHOCK???"
"HUH??? WHAT SHOCK??
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
HE CONFUSINGLY ASKED
"OKAY - LET ME TELL YOU"
"WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIM AGAIN?!?!?!?"
- QAYOMI ANNOYINGLY SAID
A WHILE LATER -
"SO I HAVE THUNDER SPIRIT INSIDE IN ME
AND THAT SLOWERED THE IMPACT OF ME FALLING
GOT IT - NOW TELL ME ABOUT THIS SPIRIT THING MORE"
AFTER A HUMONGOUS EXPLANATION
"WAIT, THE CHOSEN ONES ARE CALLED AKSHATRAS
WARRIOR OF GOD! CHOSEN BY GOD!
THAT MEANS EVERYONE HAS THE SPIRIT SEED
BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN AWAKEN IT
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WORTHY, RIGHT??"
THEY NODDED
"I SEE....
I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING EXCEPT
THE PART WHERE YOU TOLD ME THAT
I TOLD YOU GUYS THAT MY NAME WAS KRISSHO
BUT WHY WOULD I DO THAT??
MY NAME IS SRISARASWA
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
A WHOLE 10 YEARS OF MEMORY IS MISSING
FROM MY BRAIN, WHAT HAPPENED TO ME????"
"YOU SOUNDED LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON
AND YOU WERE DUMB AS HELL
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE THING
AS I WAS EXPLAINING TO YOU ABOUT SPIRITS
BUT YOU CATCHED UP PRETTY FAST THIS TIME"
RASOV SAID -
"ANYWAYS LET'S HEAD BACK TO MY HOUSE
WE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THIS MEMORY LOSS OF YOURS
BUT ONE THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS -
HOW MEMORY LOSS AFFECTS
ONE'S PERSONALITY THIS MUCH?"
"I DON'T KNOW TOO, I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT
YOU SAID I SOUNDED LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON AFTER I SAW THE LOST ISLAND WAS GONE
THAT SHOCK MUST'VE MADE ME FORGOT ALL THESE
BUT ME? DUMB? HOW'S THAT EVEN POSSIBLE????
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY -
YOU GUYS SAID THAT IT WAS A LIE
THE DEMONS AREN'T HERE
THEY DIDN'T ENDED THE ENTIRE HUMANITY
IT'S SAFE AND SOUND
JUST AS I THOUGHT
WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT
AS A CHILD, IT SOUNDED ABSURD
HUMANS ARE MORE POWERFUL AND INTELLIGENT
THAN SOME SAVAGE DEMONS
AND THIS MYSTIC REALM YOU MENTIONED
WHAT'S IN THERE?"
QAYOMI REPLIED, "THERE ARE MYTHICAL BEASTS
AND SOME BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE WITCHES TOO"
"I SEE, I WANNA VISIT IT SOMEDAY
IT'S SOUNDING SO DAMN EXHILARATING"
RASOV - "OW, I FORGOT TO ASK -
WHO WERE YOU IN THE LOST ISLAND?
LIKE WHAT'S YOUR BACKGROUND??
WHO ARE YOU ACTUALLY???"
SRISARASWA THINKING IN HIS MIND -
"I CAN'T TELL THEM THAT
I'M THE PRINCE OF THE LOST ISLAND!
THEY MIGHT USE ME FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT
EVEN IF THEY SAVED ME
I CAN'T TRUST THEM SO EASILY
I HAVE TO TELL THEM SOMETHING ELSE"
RASOV LOOKING AT KRISSHO
AS HE'S THINKING TOO MUCH
RASOV GUESSES THAT HE'S GOING TO TELL A LIE
"UM... I'M A WARRIOR
THE GUARDIAN PROTECTOR
OF THE LOST ISLAND'S PRINCE"
AND AS SOON AS HE SAYS THAT
HIS HEAD STARTS HURTING AGAIN
AS MEMORY IS CLASHING!!
SRISARASWA THINKING IN AGONY -
"WHAT?! I THOUGHT I TOLD THEM A LIE!
IT IS A LIE! I'M NOT THE PRINCE'S BODYGUARD!!
I AM THE PRINCE!! BUT WHY DO I FEEL LIKE
I'VE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH???"
AS HE FALLS ON HIS KNEES, AFTER SOME HEAVY SIGHS
HE FINALLY STOPS BREATHING HEAVILY
AS RASOV AND QAYOMI GOT WORRIED
"KRISSHO! KRISSHO??! OW
NO, SRISARASWA!! SRISARASWA!!!
HEY! WHAT HAPPENED???!"
HIS AURA CHANGED AGAIN
WITH A DUMB AND INNOCENT LOOK
ON HIS FACE HE LOOKS AT BOTH AT THEM
LOOKS AT HIS SURROUNDINGS
IN A VERY NONCHALANT WAY
AS THE CURLY HAIR GUY WATCHING FROM A DISTANCE
- "THIS IS INTERESTING"
KRISSHO ASKED -
"UM? WHAT HAPPENED?
WHERE ARE WE GOING????
TO YOUR HOME???"
AS RASOV AND QAYOMI LOOKS AT EACH OTHER----
QAYOMI ASKS HIM -
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME???"
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?
YOU MEMORY IS SLOW 😶
EAT SOME NUTS -
MY NAME IS KRISSHO!!"
"AND WHAT DID YOU DO FOR A LIVING UP THERE???"
"WELL, I MAY NOT LOOK LIKE IT BUT
I AM THE DEFENDING GUARDING PROTECTOR OF THE PRINCE OF THE LOST ISLAND....HEHE 😁"
NARRATOR - WHAT'S HAPPENING??? WHERE IS THE LOST ISLAND?? WHO IS THAT CURLY HAIR GUY??? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO KRISSHO?? WHO IS SRISARASWA??? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF KING OF INFINITE ELEMENTS!!!!
