Heard the news everyone in the hall rush to castle wall. Because Lord Buh Huy castle located at a highest hill overlook the city. From the wall’s battlement they can saw the port in clear view, the monster resurfaced 500 lia from the port. Emperor Lam can see all those people in the area around the port fleeing in land or toward higher ground in panicked, as the monster cycling the deep water out side of the port gulping up those poor souls whose have to risk their lives to try to make a living by fishing near the shore and the port. Then the monster suddenly twisting it enormous tail and created a tsunami 6 lias high rush toward the port. Witnessing all that happening Emperor Lam cannot stand idle, he must do something. And his eyes turn white, blood vessel bulging around the tail of his eyes. The Emperor invoked his magic to enhance his body, and with just 1 somersault he had arrived at the port. Right the moment his feet touch the ground Emperor immediately chant a spell in ancient language.
“Thur rua fuh qelah ein luur.
Ark ein kavik zuarah iun huslur.
Kelov, kelov zuarah fiee ein nukuur
Divardi uanarku aban pofike da kuhfur”
“Earth and stone beneath my feet
By my command now pay heed
Rise, rise now to aid my need
Created an impenetrable wall withstands all siege”
The ground before his feet started to rumbling violently, two parallel crack appeared and stretching along the shore line, then the earth rose up created an wall 8 lias high and hundreds lias in length, enveloped the port. With just himself Emperor Lam had done what would take 10 taosih to accomplish. Awestruck by such marvelous magic, everyone near the port stood in silent as the tsunami make land fall, the water crashed on the earth wall violently, mist plash through the top of the wall as if it about to suffuse, yet the wall still stand, and the port is unharmed. Seeing it attack has fail the monster disappears back under the wave. After the danger had gone Emperor Lam recalled his magic and returns the ground back to normal. And then awoke from silent someone in the crowd starting to chant “the son of dragon” following soon by the crowd and the entire city roaring with cheering and chanting.
THE SON OF DRAGON! THE SON OF DRAGON!
They cried
Some of them cannot curb their joy, they rush in and hugged the Emperor and immediately terrify by their insolent act. But such a benevolent emperor as his are, Emperor Lam take no offend and allow they to come near him, some even kneel down and kiss his feet. They swirling around him and chanting “the son of dragon” as four men carry him on their backs through the crowd as they exploding with joy.

In every citizen eyes filled with hope and joy, although the city guards still keeping a watchful eyes on the horizon, and the ships still cannot set sail far to the open water. But hope and joy is returning to Qua Loh.
