93 THIS IS MY STORY - RAIGON

Raigon drew in a deep breath and looked at everybody. Zoe was still staring at him with her dagger eyes.

He closed his eyes and made a decision. Then he opened his mouth and shared his resolution to every eye on him.

"I grew up in a remote country. We were living peacefully when raiders from other islands plundered the land of our fathers and killed our families; men, women, and children alike. It was of good fortune that my family and some others were spared."

A sudden hush swept through the group that only the lapping beach waves could be heard as the Prince of Terra told the chronicles of long ago.

They seemed to grieve for the lost souls of the City as they hum a melancholic sound which could pierce the heart of anyone paying attention.

Everyone was speechless as they never heard of a close encounter who had experienced such a horrible catastrophe before. Even Zoe.
