Kony stared out at the vast desert landscape. The storm that the queen had mentioned had long passed, as the sky was clear and the sun was blinding. He took a few moments for his eyes to become accustomed to the brightness before he turned to face the queen. "Thank...you. For giving me...

He tried to remember about the parts of his life that he hasn't told her yet. "My earliest memory...is of me waking up washing up on the shores of Bazaa, a city...ran by merchants. I was 9 years of age, and my mind was void of memory, of how I arrived there, of how I received so many scars. I...

Kony awoke to the familiar voice of the queen beckoning him to emerge from his chrysalis. He the dark, moist walls plied to every slight move he made, but the integrity of the cocoon did not relent. He thrust his arm out with unexpected strength, ripping through the sac and causing air to rush...

Kony awoke on a warm bed made of unknown substance in a dark chamber to the sounds of chitin scurrying on dried mud. He sat up, surprised that the pain in his stomach and throat due to his hunger and thirst respectively had virtually vanished. "Am...I...Dead...?" he croaked to himself...
