Forgotten world

The flood

    "Come in. I will go and check," answers Sun as he trots off in to the next room.

Rose brings the translator a towel to dry his face.

They hear Sun cry, "Damn! It is also not working. How can we get Storm's attention?"

The next minute an alarm begins to sound.

"Oh on that means the river is about to break its banks," informs Night storm.

Sun returns and orders, "All right, we need to get the people to higher ground."

The translator nods and all three of them make their way through the heavy rain to the village. The alarm has brought people out of their homes and Night storm gets them to follow him up the hill.

Rose notices they are mainly ones with children and babies the others seem to be heading down to the lakeside. A man approaches her and points to the hill.

"Un jin na!"

Rose does not need a translation she knows he is telling her to get to safety, she gives him a nod and runs off up the hill along with her boyfriend.

A group of men use their abilities to try and divert the river away from the village. It soon becomes clear they are not going to be able to stop it in time and quickly make their way to the hill. All the people can do is watch the raging water consume the small village and continue down to the costal house. Suddenly there is a wall of dust from a massive trench being dug in the ground and the water pours into it. The people on the hill soon notice they are no longer being rained on. They look up to see a large canopy has been placed over the area and the ropes from it are being tied to the nearby trees.

The water in the village begins to go down and seems to be flowing backwards.

The once thick grey clouds start to part letting shafts of sunlight that shine down to reveal the devastation the impact of the raging water has had on the buildings. The people watch in amassment all of them appear to be mending themselves. It was almost like time was running backwards and it is not long before it looks like the village had just moments ago been flooded.

"I am so sorry," says Storm as his handsome face comes looming down to the people. "I should have kept a closer eye on it and disperse it sooner. That is why I am reversing the damage, for it is my fault alone. I hope everyone is all right?"

All the villagers nod and Night storm informs him:

"Everyone seems accounted for. You are not to blame when that river was already quite full and the shallow banks do not help."

"Even so, I should have done my job sooner, especially when this village has a lot of newborns. I hope they are all right?"

"Yes, just not happy about being wet and cold," informs Night storm as the infants begin to cry.

Sun places his hand to his chest and offers, "Please everyone who has children are welcome to come to my house to get warmed."

Night storm quickly translates and Storm goes on to give the young couple a pile of wood along with a lit torch.

The small coastal house is soon packed with people all working together to get their children dry, warm and happy.

Rose even hands out sheets to blankets, then she notice the parent from the market with his baby upon his knee.

"Here," she says handing him a warm blanket.

The father removes the baby's wet robe before he wraps him in the blanket and hands him to her.
