He wore a princely robe with a crown on his curly hair. He is fair in complexion and very handsome. He has blue eyes with ahl handsome smile. His name is Christoph. Oba's son and only child. Three guards with swords are standing at his back with a Stern face.
"Are you not going to help me carry the flowers? Please help me to carry it,"Christoph said.
"Don't worry my Lord. We will help you with the flowers,"the first guard said.
The other two guards carried the basket of flowers inside the Prince's chamber. Christoph walks to the king's chamber. Oba seeing his son,he became happy. Christoph walked to his father and his father carried him on his laps. Six elders were sitting on chairs before the king with Mr Bright among them.
"Dad,I want to go to school,"Christoph complained.
"Why son,"Oba asked.
"All my friends are going to school,"Christoph said giving his reason.
"But you are not all your friends. You are a prince while they are not,"Oba said.
"Yes my prince, You are a prince and as a prince, you are not supposed to go to the,"an elder said.
"Okay,"Christoph said sadly.
He stood up from his father's laps and left leaving them to continue their meeting.
Christoph left the palace with three (3) guards following him. He went into the forest and in a jiffy,he was at the mouth of a cave. He was used to the cave. He would usually come to the cave anytime he is sad.Anytime he comes to the cave he is always happy.
"Wait here, let me go in and do not follow me in. You know I usually come here and you are familiar with this place,"Christoph says and goes inside while the guards stand outside to keep watch.
As Christoph goes inside,he gets to a pool. The reflection of the pool makes the whole surrounding blue. An old man appears as he is standing in the pool.
