An Overworld town located about an hour travel away from Kiru City was besieged by the M'arrillians. Most of the town's creatures were brainwashed and put to work flooding their own home.
Only one child in the town was not captured yet.
He coward behind some bales of hay on the second floor of his family's barn, watching the water slowly raise. The water level was now too deep for him to stand in, and he did not know how to swim.
Something was swimming in the water, and it looked like it was swimming towards him.
