“Execute him,” boomed the great Zandeshi. “He has disturbed my Zen.”
“Sire, are you sure? He was only trying to make you comfortable. This would be the 6th execution this week!” one of the Zandeshi’s servants asked, afraid of the answer.
“Are you questioning my authority? Maybe I should execute you instead,” Zandeshi said glaring at the servant.
“Never, sire. It was just a question. I will take this man to the dungeon straight away.” The servant bowed to the Great Zandeshi and led the man to the dungeon.

“I am so sorry this happened to you,” the servant said apologetically. “The Great Zandeshi has been very angry lately for the smallest things. No one knows what’s wrong and we are scared that we could be the next to be locked up and executed.”
“I have noticed it too. The sudden change is very worrisome. Unfortunately, I will not be around long enough to see the outcome of this strange behavior.”
“You still have a chance to escape.” The servant whispered.
“What do you mean?”
“The walls at the back of every cell are made of dirt. Since the Zandeshi’s sanctum is built into a hill all the rooms on this side have one dirt wall. Since it is so dark none of the prisoners figured out that the wall is made of dirt. Usually I wouldn’t tell a prisoner that they could escape but since you have been wrongly sentenced I think you should have the opportunity to be free.”
“That is very kind of you to tell me but I have no way of digging through the dirt to the outside,” The prisoner said sadly.
“I could find a way to sneak you a shovel. I know-“the servant was cut off by the sound of guards coming down the bamboo steps to the dungeon. The servant started to walk away when the prisoner called to him,
“Wait, before you go I must know your name. “
“Vium Slance,” the servant replied. “And you?”
“My name is Lombo. Lombo Canchum. “Vium smiled and ran up the stairs, already planning how he would help Lombo escape. Although they didn’t know it they had created a friendship that would change the world.
