WHAT A WORLD

Jack.. Jack... She called as she draw close to the door.

Jack was scared because he didn't want to be caught. He ask the girl for help, and she told him to play along since he locked the room, he should just speak as if he's home that she would hear him. Jack... Jack... She called again as she attempt to open the door, there came a faint voice: mum you know it's late, what is it?. Honey please close your window if you are going to bed. Okay mum I will. He said with surprise.

Wow this is not real, but real. He exclaimed jumping. So what's your name? He asked warmly.

My name is Katherine but you can call me Kathy. Wow that's a nice name. So do you stay with your parents? He asked.

No I don't, my parents were killed by some Elders in the palace. I escaped from the prison they kept us, my mum gave me this, she showed him a ring. She'd say it will help me transformed into human so I can live like one. I escaped to land, and saw a man who is a farmer, he brought me to his house and gave me shelter. After a year, I needed to come back, cause it's my home. I need to sought out all those who conduct evil without remorse.

Am so sorry about your lost. He said sympathetically. So how old are you? Am 12 she answered. Wow we are same in age, don't worry, I will be there for you. Any time you need help, call me and I will show up like a superman. He said whispering. Thanks she replied. Come and see she said as she drag me down. In this world, what they do is bullying and killing innocent people. Look, she pointed towards the east direction, let's go and see, she stood up to leave when Jack called her, do you think I am safe here?

Yes you are, there's an energy within you which protects you because you are a prince. A God of the Deep Sea, that's who you are. And since they do not know this, they can't harm you. Also make sure you don't move around or tell any one. She advised. Okay, but I think I don't get it right here. How can I be a God of the waters when I don't know who my parents are here? He murmured. We will get to know that soon. Let's go. She said. We move around the east, it's indeed a beautiful place. One could imagine it on earth. Do you people gets hungry? He asked. No we don't, but we thirst for blood. When we are thirsty, the sea will be troubled and if anyone dares to enter that moment, he/she's dead. She answered. I hated that part of blood. She added. Ohh that's very bad. You people kills human right? This is absolutely bad, it's great wickedness. He said.

After the departure of Goddess Karen, they have been using human flesh and blood as meat and drink..... Karen was a good Goddess. She taught us that all living things is not like that which cannot breathe. Karen used to have a light stick of Gold which she used to rule the world. She kept it to keep it safe from traitors who wants to acquire more power and the throne to rule. Karen knew their plans, so she hid it saying, her son will take over and rule in honesty and power. On hearing those words, jack had no choice than to cry. What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? She asked in confusion. It's just that, someone called me The son of Karen in my dreams. Hope it's not what am thinking... I can't leave my parents to stay in the waters to be a king or God. I love my Dad, I love my mum, we all grow our home with love... I don't think that I will be able to destroy all traitors even if I'm the son of Karen.

Sweetie... Mrs Philip called her husband. Yes honey.. He replied her.

Are you not going to bed. It's few hours from your work time. Ahhwwwww. My head, he said touching his hair. I am busy with Mr Smith's projects, you know how strict this man is. If not that he is a good and constant Customer, who would have stressed himself like this?

But you need to rest, it's good for your health. Alright then, am coming to the bed, be prepared he said laughing softly. There's something I want to tell you, Mrs Philip said after some few minutes.

Go on then am all ears. I think the Goddess is requesting for our son. She told me that he needed to save the "water home".... Which Goddess? He asked confused. The one who gave us solution to our barrenness, she appeared to me in the dream. No this can't be, He yelled. After 12 years? She is asking for my son, He cried bitterly. Honey is okay, as far as we don't let him know that, and allow him go close to the rivers, he is safe here with us.

Alright, but this, I won't let it happen. He frowned. It's okay, let's go to bed. She said as she softly touched him.

Jack You can, it's just for you to know what it takes to do it. Kathy said plainly. Really? I don't think I am that strong.... I can't even beat my fellows in school and you think I can do that to so called water beings. He nailed the point. Jack you can, okay let me show you something, she raised her right finger pointing it to a Big fish, immediately the fish was stricken by fire. Jack did you see that? She asked. Yeah I did but it's not real... You mean you are like superman? He murmured. No I am not superman, that's just a movie trick, this is real. See, she did it again and Jack screamed. What the hell! This is real? Wow, but I can't do it.... Will you teach me? Yeah I will. She replied. Oh yeah. My classmate won't be able to defeat me again. He said smiling. You are funny, it seems you like fighting! She joked. I like this world and would like to be visiting! He said in excitement. Sure you are always welcome. Follow me, I want to give you a gift. Kathy is a good friend, and what do you think, A friend who gives you a gift is worth more. He followed her to a place, she said, shift near me, he did so, She then turned her hands round him, immediately he was glowing and shining like the sun, all of a sudden the glory disappeared and he found a golden necklace with the description A God in his hands. It looks beautiful and attractive. Thanks, he declared in happiness.

Welcome. She said smiling. Here take, she gave him a silver ring. This ring can help you appear and disappear, and grant some wishes. If you want to travel down here, you don't need me to come take you, all you need to do is to place the ring on your forehead and you will teleport to this Place and if you want to call me, just call my name I will hear you where I am my Prince. Okay thanks again my friend. He said happily. Can I test the ring? He asked.

Yes you can. She replied without hesitation. He wore the necklace and put the ring on his right finger. And said, I need a drawing book and pen. Immediately, there appeared a book and a pen in front of him. Wow, he exclaimed. This is wonderful. I liked it. That's amazing, she added. But one thing, you must not tell any one you got it from here. This is the only gift The great goddess gave to me to give to you. Alright. So how did you know me? He asked looking serious. Before goddess Karen departed, she mentioned you name for me that I should give you this.

Okay then. He said.

It's 5;55 Am already and Mrs Philip had to wake Jack up. Hey Jack... She banged on the door. Jack heard his mother, and he needed to go. He bid his friend goodbye as he placed the ring on his head. He disappeared off her sight as she waved.

He appeared in his room gasping loud, Honey are you okay?he heard his mother asking? Yes I am he replied as he quickly hid his golden treasures under the wardrobe. Come and open the door. It's time to start preparing for school. It's on Wednesday after having a break for a week and two days. Okay mum. He softly said as he opened the door.

You didn't cover your window jack? Ohh mum, ah.. ah.... I did, I just opened it, he stammered. Okay dear. Lets get prepared the day is fast approaching. She said kissing him on his forehead. Okay mum.

He left to go wash up, after a while, he came out dressed with his school bag on his back. For he had hid the golden treasure in it and didn't want his parents to notice or found out about it until latter.

Jack? Bring your school let me check if you had all your stuffs completely arranged.

Mum I have done that, I didn't want to stress you today. He convinced her. Okay dear. Come let me drop you off. They both went into the car and zoomed off.

Arriving at school, Jack bid his mother goodbye as she drove away. Jack has no idea of what to do with the treasures cause the school's law is against wearing rings and chains. He decided leave them in his bag and went inside.

Hello student!..... Mr Michael Jordan greeted as he entered.

Hello sir.... Good morning they all stood as they greeted.

Hope your night was cool and you nailed the assignment I gave to you last week. Yes sir they answered. My night was not cool, but was amazing Jack thought to himself.

Seat, he commanded.

The topic I will be teaching to... What a wonderful world and creatures WHAT A WORLD, if I could stay there for a while, I will be grateful. Jack thought to himself ignoring the teacher and his topics... What is Zoology? The teacher asked. Hahaha hahaha, Jack burst into laughter, "What a world".... He said smiling as he looked to see all gaze on him. Mr man,

Stand up. He commanded with wrath. He stood up still looking flabbergasted to see the atmosphere of the class for it was filled with confusion and wrath. Why do you laughed and say "What a World" instead of defining Zoology. Mr Michael asked.

Jack was a bit confused, but the fact that the teacher's wrath is upon him, he won't let go. He then said I said what a world of zoology where it is only the study of animals. He declared cleverly. Clap for him, the teacher instructed the class. But this is usual Jack. The teacher murmured. Seat he instructed. Ah.. I was almost caught, he said gasping.

Sir. sir, one of the student stood and called. What is it? He answered. Sir Jack brought a golden necklace, for he sat close to him and saw it when he was taking his books. What? Bring your bag here. He commanded in fury. They brought his bag and found the necklace and a ring. Wow they all exclaimed it's pure Gold. They muttered.

Oh my God, I am rich... The teacher thought to himself. I am ceasing them. He said in anger. It is against the school rule. He said in conviction. Yes, the student supported.

He took the ring, dismissed his lecture and went to his office. Ah. What? Gold! How did he get this? Or because his parents are rich? Whatever. He sighed. I am going to sell this.. he laughed. I am rich. He exclaimed. He took his phone and dial a miner's number. Hello.. he said, hello, I have a package for you, it's pure Gold. He nailed the point. Okay, send it to me let me see?

Ohh what the....! Poor Jack! Will his golden treasures be sold?
