    “Zaak, please, talk to me.”
    Zaak struggles a few times.  Finally he sits up and looks at Bonita.
    “Zaak, you okay now?”
    He looks at her for a long time.  A pale smile appears on his face.  “Who are you?” He mumbles, staring harder.
    “Zaak?  It’s me, Bonita, your wife.” Bonita tries so hard to hold back her tears.
    “Bonita?”
    “Uh-huh, it’s me.”
    Zaak thinks hard and then smiles again.   “Yes, Bonita.   Hmmm… right…” He thinks again and finally mumbles.  “My servant.  Bonita.  Great.”
    “Zaak.  I’m your wife.  Goddammit!” 
     
    “Get them.”  Bonita hears a cold voice.  She raises her head and sees a plumed warrior.    Around him are soldiers with weapons.
    Bonita struggles and screams.  But soon she is held tight by two big soldiers.
    “Leave me alone.  You’ve hurt him, you bastard.” She stares at the warrior.
    The warrior looks at Zaak.  “Who the fuck is this assh…” His voice stops suddenly.  Now he is looking at Zaak with much greater respect.  Suddenly he drops on his right knee.  “Commander Wouter Aja…  Is it you?”
    Zaak rolls his eyes and shrugs.  He is so confused by this silly warrior.   Gradually, his bleeding pale face is covered by a cold smile.  “If you think so.” He murmurs.  Asshole, let’s have some fun.  
    “Commander Aja.  Commander Aja!”  The warrior stands up and announces.  “The Temple’s words have come true, brothers!  The greatest commander in the history of our Empire has returned!  We are saved!”
    The warrior drops to his knee, hand on heart.   “Commander Aja, welcome home…”  Finally, he stands up and raises his arm high to silence the deafening cheers of the soldiers.  
    He turns back to look at the blood on Zaak’s face.  Then his eyes drop down.   “I beg your mercy, Commander.”
    Zaak thinks for a moment or two and then smiles lightly, “You have my mercy.”
    “Thank you, Commander.”  The warrior looks at Bonita and then turns back to Zaak, “And she is your…”
    “Wife.” Bonita says immediately.
    Zaak looks at her and thinks hard.
    “Zaak, I’m your wife Bonita.  Can’t you remember?”
    “Zaak?” The warrior looks at him.
    Zaak is totally confused.  He thinks for a long while and then chuckles, “Nickname, I guess.”
    “And she is…?”
    It doesn’t take long for Zaak to figure out the answer.   “My servant.” He grins.
    “ZAAK!” Bonita screams.
    “Let’s go see the King.” The warrior smiles.   “I am Lorcan, the leading warrior of the army.”
    “Lorcan.” Zaak gives him a tiny smile.   “Please lead the way back to the palace.”
    “Yes, sir.” Lorcan bows down.  Then he turns to an officer beside him, “Guard the temple and the…” He looks at the spaceship and then Zaak. 
    “The...” Zaak thinks hard and then smiles at Bonita.
    “The spaceship.  Tell them it’s a private property.” Bonita whispers at his ear.
    “The spaceship.” Zaak repeats aloud.
    “Yes, the spa… space, um…” He stares at the officer.   “Whatever the fuck it is, I don’t want even a mosquito to touch it.”
    “Yes, sir!”  The officer signals with his arm.  Immediately, a team of soldiers respond, spreading out to stand guard around the hill top.
     
    They walk down the hill slowly.   “Commander Aja…”
    “Call me Zaak.”
    “Zaak?”
    “Um… shit… Okay, call me… Wouter.”
    “I dare not, Commander.”
    “Why not?  You have my mercy.”
    “Okay… Commander, um, Wouter.  See, we have been expecting your return for a long time.”
    “You mean I… left?”  He looks at the Lorcan and then smiles.  “Died?”
    “Oh, no.  You… um returned to the sea four hundred years ago.  But the oracles in the Royal Temple predicted that your return.  We have been expecting you, Comman… um, Wouter.”
    “So… you need my help?”
    “Yes.”
    “For a war?”
    “You know everything,
