Living in a Shield World
Hidden Fish Pool

HIDDEN FISH POND

"Dad..!, the Kingdom's office fell apart, like after the war. Dad didn't say hi back

I used telepathy as you taught me, silence. My life and my mother's life for three years has been lonely.

Return to visit Rossy, and hope he can be normal again. And play with me again

But the silence when calling dad where he should be was, was very different. I almost exploded, when my greeting called Dad unanswered

Up there, despite being estranged, but I still have high hopes of meeting dad. Looking at the chaotic situation of my father's office, the blood everywhere and the smell of freshly burnt flesh, made my body go limp. Fathers.....

I have to call mom, inside that little room, it must be safe. I walked into a small room, on which it was written, Gathering Room .

"There's no ma'am here....."

"You're afraid of Edward, just go up here...."

"I'm more afraid I can't see Mom's dad..."

"Hmmmm.., Spain was sober, she said your father was in the fish pond of our barn house first"

"Ah, fish pond, that little one?"

"Yes, I'm confused, too, but just try to get there, the building's close to your father's office"

"Yes, I remember the way, ma'am, I'll call you back"

Out on the streets the same, it's like a dead city, what are the Kingdoms, what about the other cities, the Edge?

I kept thinking while walking towards the kitchen building.

Why it's like this.....

In front of the kitchen building, I was standing alone, definitely in this building, not much different from my father's office

Lonely, no blood and a charred smell. Everything is still neat, very different from the father's building. I remember the elevator was just down there

I love running around in the morning here. Mom always yells at me and Rossy 'cause we always make noise on the street

When I first met my dad, it was this elevator. He is very handsome, I have admired him since in the village. Meeting in person at that time, it felt like a dream

I entered the elevator, and all the first memories with dad, were like spinning back. Thank God for letting me remember my dad and Rossy again in this elevator.

The elevator wasn't broken, it was in front of my warehouse house. Still well maintained, I thought it would be a mess, because we never visited this house for a long time, but this house is very well maintained.

Fish pond? What does Om Spain mean? hiding in the fish pond. How come?

I looked at the pool a long time while thinking a lot. The one in great pain, asked mom to save dad in the fish pond.

This pond is strange, always taking out fish, whenever we want. Not a small fish, but a big fish, like connected to a very large pond.

I touched the water in this fish pond, calm down. Maybe I should get in. I want to go into the fish pond

Diving lessons by Abraham's grandfather, useful today. Beyond a doubt, it turns out that this pool is like a water tunnel. I'm always surprised every time I put food in this pond, always get fish.

This pool was like it had an inner, he always threw fish at us. A very deep and wide pool. There is light, I must go to that light.

It turned out that this light illuminated a cave

The cave in the fish pond, where is this? Is this cave connected to something. I was soaking wet, walking down the cave, which was lit by a buffer lamp.

I follow the direction the headlights are installed. I arrived at a room

A lot of people gathered, all of them looking at me. Suddenly both my hands moved on their own. My hands are stretched up and Hap Hap. Two swords in my hand

All were flabbergasted to see two swords flying into my hands. I saw both swords

One old and rusty. One is white and beautiful.

"Edward......?", a voice I know very well

"Dad...?".", my father is still alive, I ran to hug him.

Dad laughed so good to see me, he kissed me back and forth and hugged me

Finished giving the inner to the two swords in order to be able to levitate, the father stood up giving an announcement to the ones gathered in this cave room

"Calm everyone down, this is Edward, my firstborn!"

"Dad, what happened, why did Kingdoms become like this?"

"Everything happened so quickly Edward, I don't know where to tell you, but.this isn't a story you can hear"

"Dad.".", my eyes are so sweet, I don't seem to sleep for days.

"Spain, is she with Hannah?", the first question my father asked was Spain, not Rossy or mom

"I'm in such a hurry to have Hannah help me, I don't understand her way of thinking, why did she send you?"

"Dad, Rossy's awake, but she's not responding to anything, I'm afraid something's going on with Rossy. I don't want to leave her"

"But Spain, didn't she tell Hannah to help us immediately ?"

"Om Spain was badly hurt, she only spoke a little bit"

"Oh...Rossy realized, I'd send Brian there, if I knew where Brian was now"

"There's no doctor here?"

"None.only kitchen employees"

"Where are the others?"

"Don't know Edward, the Buffer Hall is split, which opponent is a friend, neither do you know. Even your grandfather wanted to kill me...."

I talk while I'm glazed. I can't afford to tell you anything right now. Looks like dad's still in shock.

Everyone gathered here, in uniform. It seems that father saved the only one who could be saved, which is not far from the fish pond. Employees of this building.

"You know Edward, a week ago everything was normal. Nothing horrendous, then I take the order to immediately make you crown prince, and then.."

"Me, crown prince?"

"Then came the order again, to immediately clarify the status of my marriage with Hannah, then came again my marriage documents from village nine, then came again the order to get rid of Hannah, then there were many orders in a day coming, all official from the buffer council, one day! All those orders came within a day.. ..."

I could only stare at Dad, who told me in a very weak tone

"I'm the source of the problem, but my people are victims".", my father shed tears.

"They don't know anything about the conflict in the council, but they are killed, they kill each other, because of different leaders ..."

"They were indeed looking for the right time to separate themselves from white tribal rule"

"Who doesn't know it's Edward, everybody knows, because of your great-grandfather's intelligence, we can be a royal family"

" They're greedy"

"Your grandfather, My King, has sniffed out my problems and Hannah will be potentially conflicted, and will be exploited"

"So he asked me to be killed"

"Ha ha ha.iya Edward, because the unity of the nation is more important than his own grandson", I cannot distinguish father laughing or crying

"Grandfather...."

"I asked Spain to tell Hannah you're in danger"

"But Spain, no....."

"Spain's a freak.he must have told Hannah in an unusual way, but she did, you were saved, and I had reason to make you live on a safe island up there"

I never knew the complexity that Dad had to face because of us. But Dad, is this really the way, do we have to hide?

My great-grandfather, the owner of the first sword, must have realized the potential of this conflict, he knew the white buffer tribe was not the smartest, strongest, or greatest. But he knew everyone wanted to live in peace.

He made the class and standards of judgment unique in a society so complex, and so indistinguishable. Different from the earth age. Only the worthy deserve, he wants equality, and tribal peace above all else.

"Dad....did my great-grandfather also deliberately, make an eternal conflict, so that the tribes united?"

"Ha ha ha ha..., you are indeed my son Edward, your great-grandfather, and my father they will both do everything so that there is no tribal division, everything.......!"

Father spoke with a stifled spirit and a crying voice. Can't imagine my father's thoughts at this moment.

"Dad.... I'm still here", I clasped his hand and looked at him longing.

"You're so great Dad, you're still the greatest, don't be sad...."
