Auckland, New Zealand Year 2016, March the 21st.
Tonight one of the worst storms in New Zealands history had washed through the entire North Island, flooding rural towns to main streets in cities. Lightning and Thunder had raged on, accompanied by intense rain many accidents resulting death occurred through the entire night.
On this very night a young boy sat alone shivering at the end of his bed with his blankets covering him, flinching at the sound of thunder and the bright flashes of lightning that lit his room frequently. Zel at the age of four, would forever remember this night, cowering beneath his blankets waiting for his parents to return home, but alas they would not and he would go on for a long time dreaming about this night over and over until one day he would conquer his fear and gain power beyond his imagination, but that would be a long time from now.
~The next day.
*Knock, knock, knock* Hearing a knocking sound Zel who had stayed up all night ran straight to the front door of his house running down the steps, his eyes were almost bloodshot from the tears he had shed through out the night trying to steel himself through the storm. Expecting his parents to magically be there he opened the door to find not his parents but his grandparents who's eyes also looked they had been in tears, Zel immediately frowned and hung his head.
"Zel, my boy come here", His grandpa, held his arms out and ushered Zel to come forward, after a brief pause Zel step forward and gave his grandfather a hug both of them squeezing tightly.
His grandmother cried at the sight of him and could only stand and stare while his grandfather had embraced him.

"Oh my boy, everything's going to be alright" Zel's grandpa exclaimed, Zel couldn't help but pull out of his grandfathers hug and look at him with a curios yet sad face. With a sad yet firm tone his grandfather told him.
"Zel, I want you to be strong...." after a brief pause he continued "First thing is, last night you're parents had an accident, they... they didn't make it though"
Zel felt an uncontrollable urge to explode, crying even though he didn't quite understand all of it, he knew that he would never see his parents again. This time both his grandparents hugged him and tried to calm him down. After some time they manage to get his attention although tears were still streaming down his face.
"And the second things is, You're going to be living with us now, come let Grandpa Jack and Grandma Jane take you to you're new home. We will come back and get all you're things in a few days"
Zel soon fell asleep from exhaustion in his grandparents car, dreaming about his parents, this would be one of the few times it would be a happy dream.
