Chapter VI

“I saw when I was approaching the village, everyone is joyful of my coming and it seems I was like a king returning from a victorious battle.”
Prince Machus was welcomed by the people through festive in preparation of his coming to the island. Machus then was moved by the people and he smiles like the people of that land. He said to himself that he will continue to protect them from being invaded because for him they are the type of civilization that should not be invaded because they are models of an ideal society; no war, no conflict, no crimes; only smiles and loved to their families.
A moment later, a man approached him and told him about his brother.
“Master, your brother is here.” Deuman said, remember that Deuman is one of the fishermen who saved the wounded prince from the sea.
    “Where is he?” The prince asked with desperation.
    “In tang Piyo’s house.” Deuman answered.
Then quickly the prince go to the old man’s house and called him with joy.
    “Tang Piyo!” The prince called the old man.
The old man appears answering the call of the prince.
    “Master, your brother?” the old man asked.
    “Where is he?” the prince asked the old man.
“Lately, he is here, maybe he is somewhere finding some fresh air.” The old man said.
“How does he come here?” the prince asked.
The old man narrated how the wounded prince reaches their land.
“Three of our fishermen saw your brother in a boat in the shallow sea naked and beaten so hard.” He said.
“And we don’t know why.” He added.
“Can I see the boat he was rescued?” he asked the old man.
The old man and the three fishermen; Seus,  Itom, Alonggas and Deuman, joint the prince to see the boat prince Euphatos III was rescued. Then, he was really shocked to see that their, he and his father, doubts are right. Then the prince was really mad when he saw the boat which he clearly identified as the boat of the kingdom of Imus based on carvings and designs.
    “I will kill that traitor.” He said to himself.
The old man saw the prince getting mad and worried about him.
    “Master, is there a problem?” the old man said.
Without a word the prince left the place without any agenda where to go as his mind was doomed with anger and guilt all over his ego.
     “It’s�"it’s my fault!” he cried.
Then, out of nowhere he heard a voice saying
    “Don’t fall to your anger.”
The prince looked somewhere hoping to find someone behind on that strange voice he just heard.
    “Who are you?” the prince shouted.
He realized that the strange voice was the one he was talking in the kingdom.
    “Are you GOD?” he said.
“No, I am not a God. God is somewhere in your heart and talk to you through your conscience.”  The voice responded.
“Who is that I am talking in the kingdom? Is that you?” the prince asked.
“No, it was God.” The voice responded.
“So, who are you then?” the prince again asked with curiosity.
“I am your Guidance a messenger from the God. I am here to remind you what you are made of.” The voice responded.
“Who I am then?” the prince asked.
“You will know in the right time.” The voice responded.

After a short talking, the prince noticed a man sitting in a big rock beside on another rock with the same size and he approached the man and sat on the empty rock. The man was Euphatos III and he was looking in far away place across the ocean ignoring his brother approaching. There are silence between the two but their minds are saying a lot of things that they want to say with one another. Until one of them broke his silence and started the conversation.
