Sarrene sat on the barren ground beneath the lonely willow tree, its leaves blowing silently in the southern wind. Kai himself was still a playful cub, always getting into trouble, sitting still for the first time in a while as he listened to the story. Sarrene began to speak.
" Kai, when you were born you were all we could hope for and more. When you opened your eyes that first time, we knew you were something special." Sarrene paused," Do you know where your name came from?" She asked the little cub." No?" He replied, waiting for an answer." Well, your father and I thought long and hard for the most perfect name for our special little cub.
There was a lot of different names to chose from. We actually almost named you Raj. But, we decided on Kai.
"It means many different things. In Burmese, it means "strong" or "unbreakable", in in Chamoru Kai means " Free one", when said in Wayuu, it means "the one who brings the light in the dawn". But most importantly, your name means "ocean" or "ocean water". You are our little ocean cub."
Sarrene finished and nuzzled Kai.
"Guess what mother?"
"What, my little free one?"
"I'm going to the ocean one day!"
"I wouldn't doubt it for a moment"
The next day a forest fire came leveled the forest. Kai's parents were the only ones who didn't make it.

"Kai!" Saru's voice shook him out of his reverie. He lookers around, trying to pinpoint where her voice was coming from. "Whacha doin'?" He looked up, she was lounging in towering oak tree above him.
"Just thinking" It was amazing how much he remembered of that fateful day. He turned away from the burned swath of forest, trying to clear his mind. His last vow to his mother he couldn't forget. He planned to complete that promise for his mother's sake. To go see the ocean. Someday. For now he will dream of the glistening sea and of romping on the beach with his mother and father.
