When darkness had sets in,and everyone had gone to sleep, Laquan left the house, heading to the palace.He got there and the guards stopped him."What brings scholar Kim here tonight?""I have something to discuss with his Majesty,""I believe you can come discuss that with him tomorrow's morning,"Quan scoffs."Can you bear the consequences of this? I have to report the matter at hand to his Majesty as soon as I can.If things get more complicated than it already is,will you man the blames,Head Guard?"Quan slopes his head sideways.Surely,the happenings in the palace might be something really huge for the Head Guard to be out there by the gate,and not staying inside.Must be something bigger than the princess killing someone."What's the matter then? I'll go help you seek audience from--""I'm afraid I don't have such luxury of time,"Laquan interrupted.The guard sighed repeatedly, squeezed his face a little before nodding,rather swiftly."Follow me then,"They both entered the palac
It was a working day, early morning, just as his work requires,Laquan left home. Moreover, it could be expected of a man who was looking forward to getting his paycheck.Laquan's daily job doesn't earn him much. It was some inconsequential amount which could barely last him within a week.However,the little still fend for his needs.Oh,forgot to mention how hot tempered and mean his boss was.He went to work with the thought of going for grocery shopping to buy few greasy food after getting his payment.Goodness! He hasn't had that in ages.As he walked into the warehouse,everywhere was unexpectedly quiet.It wasn't anywhere similar to the everyday activities he has came to know.No worker was lifting loads or people offloading packages from the truck. The female guard wasn't even there to welcome people with her warm smiles.Due to the atmosphere, he approached few people that gathered some meters away from him.They had on these sour looks.They all appeared bittered and were grumb
"Why is he not waking up?""Should we wake him up?. A light pat might do?" "What's really happening?. Should we call for the physician?"Faint voices kept echoing in the background, full of nothing but worries and panicks.The prince's consciousness started retuning slowly.Suddenly,his eyes fluttered opened.He rubbed them and stared around,blankly.At first,his vision was blurry,thus,he couldn't make out the people before him.Slowly,he sat up.This time,his vision was already clearing out. He stared wide eyed at the strange faces around him the moment he could see clearly,What's about the robes and the funny costumes?.Was this the said Heaven?.The last thing he could remember was being hitted by a car and now...what's happening?!"Your highness, you're awake" the three servants before him stuttered while shaking on the spot."These servants doesn't dare to interrupt His Highness's sleep,but we were only worried because Your Highness doesn't stay up this late. Do not misinterpr
"Huh??"the men uttered in confusion. He blinked rapidly when he realized what he just said. "Never mind. Let's go."he cleared his throat and they all moved out. They got in front of the dining area where the emperor and some other two people were. The men behind him stood there while he goes in. "Oh,he is here."The emperor chuckled as soon as he saw him. "Quan,come on. Why are you so late?. This is your first." Laquan's eyes popped out of their sockets. "You recognize me?"he questioned,bewildered. The emperor offered the Jones's family a jumpy smile before looking back at him. "Why won't I recognize you?. Take your seat." Laquan staggered to a seat and sat down. The emperor looked at him, wondering what was wrong. His son has always been a composed prince. Something must have happened. Or, perhaps,he is sick?. "Hi,prince Quan."the daughter of the Jones's family,Ava,grinned at him. He looked at her and scoffs. She is not close a beauty to Britney; A girl that works in
"So,I am not feeling too well today and I'm afraid we won't be able to spend enough good time together. But, what I would like to talk about today is success. It's easy to get successful,but it's not ever easy to attain success."he said vaguely. The men started whispering to one another. "Gentlemen,calm down. I don't mean to scare you. Everybody want to be successful, but do you know that with just three tricks,you can be just that? ; Hard work, endurance and diligent. You're hardworking doesn't mean you would be successful. No,you have to have the spirit of endurance, perseverance and you must be diligent. Without these attributes,you would easily get discouraged."he took a pause to allow them take to his words as fish takes to water. The men nodded in agreement. He continued,"The journey of life isn't a loaf of bread and butter. You will face challenges on your road to become successful. Sadly,if you only rely on your hard work without having any of the aforementioned values,you
"P..power?"Laquan repeated, befuddled. "Your Highness, what is wrong with you today?. You seem not to be in your best state." "Nothing."Quan shook his head. He shut his eyes and cleared his throat. "Okay....is it true that I have powers?. Come...powers..."he said inwardly and opened his empty palm. The next thing that happened shocked him. His hand provided a small spring of water. "Thank you.."Kai smiled and washed his apple then ate from it hurriedly. Quan also cleaned his before closing his palm. This is incredulous! He dug his teeth in the apple and chewed on it. "What about you?. What kind of power do you have?"he turned to Kai who he smirks in return. He looked down below them before pointing towards a rabbit that was walking and ruffling through some leaves. The rabbit rose up in the air and he tightened his hand. A burning flame appeared around it then burned it to death. "Would you like to have a taste?,Your Highness?" "Never mind."he scrunched up his nose, fee
"Customer's order?"Quan repeated. "First,where am I?." "Oh, you passed out for long hours so I presumed you might have lost part of your memory. You're in Delhi. This is the famous hotel in Delhi where you work at." "Who is that woman in there?" "She is Naveena, our madam. She has eyes for you and she has always been s*xing you while giving you peanuts. She tired your strength out today and well,you died!" Laquan sighed and rubbed his eyes. Why is his soul jumping from one place to another? "Kain!"Naveena hollered from the room. "Oops,back to work again."the guys said in unison before running off. Laquan scoffed and walked away. "Well,I ain't Kain."he uttered. He went inside the restaurant and the workers there were giving him these surprised stares. Well,news has already spreaded that he was dead. So,they were shocked to see a dead man walking down the restaurant. "Hmph! You reek of.."a lady that walked past him looked at him in contempt. Well,he actually knows the comp
.. *I am lost. Amidst the world,I am lost! I am a good man,I deserve all the goodies..hoppie hoppie. I only got a dry cleaner job..I only got the trash packer job and that ain't cool..*a man sitting by the roadside sang melodiously while pulling the strings of his guitar in rhythm of his song. The song sounds funny, but it is actually a sad one. A tone of melancholy could be notice in his voice also. He chose to sing of the society's problems. 'I go to school,I got a job,but only to dryclean..I am a first class,bro! All those bitches,motherfvckers suck! But they got a decent job bro! I be a brilliant kid. I thought the dream would be fulfilled with my certificate but that only got me the certificate of best in dry-cleaning.'he rapped, mirroring the woes of the youths. People passing by dropped some money in his bowl. It was in the evening. The stench of dirty gutters,smokes coming from the nearby houses' chimneys penetrates inside a beggar boy's nostrils. He was asleep on some
