That Was The King?

"Hli Ja, are you very angry at me?" he wondered. "Is that why you refused to appear before me? How can I amend the wrongs I did to you when you refuse to show yourself to me? Do you know I've been searching for you for a long time? Do you know our son and I miss you very much? I'm running out of reasons to keep our son's spirit up. One day he'll know the truth and hate me."

Mua Kong spent the night staring at the big full moon. It seemed so close yet so far; just out of reach. He kept staring at the full moon, eventually dozing off.

The next morning, he awoke to a blanket draped over him. He was still in the same spot where he was the night before. He assumed his right-hand man, Yee Len, probably brought the blanket for him. Mua Kong got up from his spot and went back to the base.

When he got inside to his tent, Yee Len was already waiting inside with freshly made food.

"My Lord, have some food first and I'll go over the day for you," he exclaimed.
