Chapter 4 - BAB I.III : The Lazy Man's Water

On a calm day in the water kingdom of Poseidon, there lived a prince named Gorgon Pvesoveus. Gorgon Pvesoveus was a lazy prince who refused to do anything because all his needs were provided for in the palace.

Gorgon Pvesoveus was the son of King Atlas, the ruler of the water kingdom of Poseidon. King Atlas Pvesoveus often scolded Gorgon for his laziness. One day, after growing furious with his son's behavior, King Atlas commanded the palace guards to capture the prince and send him out on a journey to fend for himself, hoping it would cure his laziness.

Gorgon Pvesoveus ran away, trying to evade the palace guards. He kept running until he was near the border shared by the three nations: the fire nation of Ra, the water kingdom of Poseidon, and the plant nation of Dementer.

"It seems the guards are no longer chasing me, but this means I've been banished from my own palace," he said.

"Ugh, father... Now I can't just laze around anymore," muttered Gorgon.

By chance, Gorgon encountered Blaze, who was wandering as an exile, searching for a new home after being driven away by his childhood friend and queen, Milea.

The two immediately prepared for a fight, as the nations of Ra and Poseidon were often embroiled in conflicts, ranging from minor skirmishes to major wars.

However, both stopped their battle stance as they realized they were not in the best condition to fight.

Gorgon broke the silence and spoke to Blaze.

"What are you doing here, at this border?!" Gorgon asked.

"None of your business! It's my life. Who do you think you are?!" Blaze retorted.

"I am the prince of the water kingdom of Poseidon, and my name is Gorgon Pvesoveus," Gorgon said proudly.

"I don't care if you're a prince or even a king! Get out of my way. I'm heading to the plant nation of Dementer. Go away and don't bother me!" Blaze snapped.

Gorgon responded, "You're heading to the plant nation of Dementer? I'm going there too! You should leave here and stop following me to Dementer!"

Blaze retorted angrily, "What?! Are you picking a fight with me? I told you, I'm going to Dementer, so don't block my way!"

Gorgon shot back, "Oh, you want to fight here? Fine! Bring it on!"

Their argument was interrupted when someone from the plant nation of Dementer, passing near the border, overheard their commotion.

"What are you two arguing about?! Where are you heading?" the stranger asked.

"We're going to the plant nation of Dementer, sir," Blaze replied.

The person from Dementer smiled and offered to escort them to Dementer City, the capital of the plant nation.

Finally, they reached their destination, the plant nation of Dementer, and thanked the stranger before he departed. To avoid causing trouble in a foreign land, Blaze and Gorgon decided to part ways and agreed to act as if they had never met.
