Chapter 3 - The dragon Prince finds a companion

Before sun set, Kera had taken his property out of the palace, his instinct had told him to go into the Late King's chamber to take along some piece of his old clothing. The next Prince of the kingdom is meant to have those clothes inherited, as they were made of the most expensive silk and laced with pure gold. Those clothes worth a lot of money and anyone would die to even own a piece of them.

Kera had snuck into the kings chamber to have those clothes taken, he made away with some other jewellery like the kings necklace and Bangles. He was lucky not to have been seen as the witch and the prime minister had decided to not stay up in the king's chamber as it is believed that the late king spirit roams about his chamber for a period of three moon night, till his soul decides to go to rest.

Kera, having no where and nobody to go to for shelter, heads to the Forest of Alkhi, his father whom so much wisdom had taught him how to survive on his own, he had taught Kera how to hunt for animals and make houses out from bamboo stick.

The forest of Alkhi, is rumored to be a very dangerous forest with spirits of dead slaves. it is believed that someone from Harnez, was killed in that forest when he tried to escape the Wrath of the body guard of Oz, who caught him in their land and taught him to be a spy. The Man had ran into the forest for his dear life, only to get bitten by a snake and an arrow was fired at him, and he died on the spot. His body was left to Wrath, ever since that incident, any slave from Harnez who dies in the kingdom of Oz were thrown into the forest of Alkhi. The act of throwing sleeves into the forest of Alkhi was abolished when the people of Oz thought it would be better if rather they have those slaves sold vital organs sold.

whenever a slave is noticed to be sick, the slave vital organ is being sold out.

Kera, having no place to go, except the forest of Alkhi, head towards the forest before sun set. fear filled his heart, but remembering the words of his late father telling him "fear is a distraction" and also telling him "those who fear are those who did bad" these words strengthen Kera and he hasten his journey, as he must not be seen by the people of Oz, as his banishment from the land had already been announced the previous night. Those who saw him and knew him on the way, looked at Kera with sympathy, as they knew he had no where to go. some adviced him to just plead with the witch as she might forgive him. Kera mind was already made up as he will not be under the rulership of who is not meant to rule.

Before the sun has fully set, Kera was out of the kingdom of Oz, the forest of Alkhi faces towards the North, he heads toward North, it took Kera 7 hours on foot to get to the Forest of Alkhi, it was later afternoon, the forest was blooming with flowers that got watered by the rain that fell on the burial of the Late King. Kera feet being sore from walking that distance, decided to rest under a mahogamy tree, with his bag of clothes coupled with the kinds own he had taken along, he used it to form a pillow as a resting place.

Barely few hours, Kera was still taking a nap, when he woke up to strange noises, immediately he jumped up and looked around the forest, only to find it was just a snake running around the forest. He got up and found his way deeper into the forest, so he could secure a good place to build and shelter.

Approaching the middle of the Forest, he finally found a place suitable to build a shelter, as a small stream was also very closer to him. Bamboon sticks, were all around the place and he made to look around for weapons in order to hunt for animals, so he would not starve. He found a dagger, which belongs to the Prince. The dagger was given to the prince when he got to the age of Ten. His name was inscribed on the dagger, it was a royal dagger, which the prince carried along with him anywhere and everywhere he went to. seeing the dagger there stirred a spirit in him, that the prince is here in the same forest with him.

Kera took the dagger with him, hoping to find the Prince as his instinct told him the prince was in the forest with him, but first he must build a fire, as it was getting dark already. He took sticks together and using a stone and some Royal oil he had taken from the palace, he light up the sticks and fire came up.

The fire, would keep animals away, and for the mean time he would lay his head and sleep and tomorrow morning he would build his home. Kera, was hungry and he sought for an animal he could catch and roast, a bush rat was stuck in the forest, and he only wondered who could have set the trap that caught the bush rat, he took the bush rat and set to roast it in order to eat for the night. After eating he laid the royal mat and slept.

Kera woke up feeling the sun on his face, he knew it was day break already, he arose and began to make a fence around the area he already mapped out for his home, he made the fence strong, with bamboo sticks and some strong rope he found in the forest, after building the fence, it was late afternoon already and he was so tired, he decided to take a nap, and he began to hear strange foot steps, he jerked to his feet and hid behind his fence, only to see a Dragon, coming towards the place he had taken the bush rat that was trapped from. Immediately he knew the dragon to be the Prince Nazi.

Kera ran towards the dragon and bowed to him, worshipping him.
