Early Morning time-
The sun still hasn't come up yet and prisoners are still sleeping inside their cells.
Some soldiers are still sleeping and few are awake on the wall, looking out for any intruder.
Even though this is a barren land and there is nothing to steal, but still it is an important territory as its more towards the side of Sun King and also a little bit at the sides of the Xiong Kingdom
Thus, both kingdoms can use this ground for military strategy, so it's not like this land has zero value.
Chiyou is all awake right now he is sitting above the watchtower, without any cloth on his upper body, he is looking in the direction from where the sun will rise.
Sun the sun's rays fall everywhere as they came from the distant horizon.
Chiyou closed his eyes and bowed his head in respect to the sun and said "Thank you for filling this world with light"
His words are full of respect and humbleness that has no sign of greed or any evil in it, it's a pure prayer to the gods and goddess of the sun.
The soldier on the wall looked at their king but didn't bother about it as they have still not recognized Chiyou as their king.
After all, Chiyou only has this small prison camp in the name of his kingdom and this barren land, so what is there to respect him?
The rays of the sun feel all over Chiyou's body, and his whole body shines under the sunlight as if his whole body is made up of gold and no jewelry in the world can be on par with his body.
After the whole sun rises up, Chiyou finally raised his head.
From behind, Sun Mo enters the place with a robe. he said "Friend Chiyou, you should wear some clothes or you will catch a cold"
From the sun rays, Sun Mo also woke up and the first thing he saw outside his window was his friend Chiyou, thus with curiosity he came to look for what he is doing right now
As Sun Mo tried to cover his friend with the robe he brought, Chiyou stopped him and said "Sorry Prince Sun Mo, right now i am doing my prayer and i haven't completed my prayer yet,
Thus, i can't wear any clothes"
"Wow, i never thought that you are such a religious person" Sun Mo said in astonishment
Chiyou smiled and then looked at the sky, he gets down on his knees, and with his hands raised up, he said "Oh Dragon of the Sea...
Can you hear my call?"
Sun Mo thought about leaving the place and stay on the ground and let Chiyou complete his prayer, but after he listened the god he was addressing, 'Dragon of the Sea', he stops his steps and stayed to hear it all
"Oh Dragon of the Sea, i know that to you my words are meaningless and there is no need for a god to listen to a mortal like me...
But i hope you could hear my request
This land has been barren for a long time, people are dying every single day and there is also a shortage of food.
I know that i am asking too much from you, but i hope you won't unheard my request.
Please hear my request"
To Sun Mo, it was all some random words and he didn't really care much but still, he expected something
But nothing happened
'What was i even expecting? Even though gods can come down to our world and meet us all, but it's not like us mortals can make the god pay us a visit.
We are just mortals in their eyes, after all, a lower beings' Sun Mo said as he looked away jumped down
But suddenly,
*whooo*
A cold wind could blow around and some familiar noise could be heard coming from far away.
Sun Mo quickly turned and one more time jumped up on the watchtower to see what should have not happened or he never expected
"Just... what in the world are you" Sun Mo asked as he stumbles and sits by the side of Chiyou as he looks far, far away in the sky
Dark clouds and thunderclaps could be heard
Chiyou looked at the dark clouds, he closed his eyes and slowly bowed his head, and remained in that posture
He remained silent
The soldiers and prisoners, everyone became happy as they saw the dark clouds.
"I have never been so happy in my life" A prisoner said as he falls on his knees with tears
Many soldiers and prisoners, everyone felt like crying.
The smell of the wet ground made many cry in happiness
All Soldiers and Prisoners started dancing as they all cry and smile in happiness.
Finally, the drops of rain poured on the prison camp and everyone could feel the rain that they have never seen after coming here.
"Thank you oh dragon of the sea" Chiyou said with his deep respect and then finally stood up.
"Prince Sun Mo, my prayer is now complete"
Sun Mo smiled, he had dropped the robe down when he jumped down, but he can't let this moment go and show some respect to Chiyou
Thus, Sun Mo took his royal robe out and put it on the back of Chiyou
Chiyou wanted to stop Sun Mo, but he didn't listen to him, he said "Every time i see your abilities, i am just amazed.
Is there even something you cant do?"
Chiyou smiled at this, but soon he became serious and asked something as he whispered to Sun Mo
"Its your kingdom my friend, You are free to make any decision you want" Sun Mo said after hearing his request
Chiyou nodded and then, walked to the edge of the watchtower, in his loud tone, Chiyou said
"Listen to me, everyone!
From this very moment, all prisoners are lifted from their punishment. But don't feel like it's for forever, it's only temporary.
All of you are now my citizens, my people, and this land will be our kingdom.
Our kingdom will not be just limited to these walls, but this whole land is our kingdom!
Let's build our Kingdom!"
