A storm arose in the Pacific Ocean. Clouds scattered in every direction, struggling to contain the force of the rising waters.
The girl, Akemi, stood on the red cloud above the sea, gazing from afar at the great tornado.
She called to the king:
"Wake up! Look at this terrible scene! A hurricane is coming!"
The king rose in fear.
"A hurricane? Let me see it!"
He muttered in disbelief:
"In my village, I have never seen or even heard of such a whirlpool!"
When his eyes finally fell upon the hurricane, he almost collapsed from horror.
"This will flood the city!" he cried.
Akemi shouted over the winds:
"Hold on tightly!"
But the king looked around in confusion and said to himself:
"You tell me to hold on… but to what? Ah—here, I'll hold on to the picture of her friend, the pilot."
Then he shouted:
"What's happening to you? I can't see you anymore! Have we reached the black cloud?"
At that moment, the girl Kasha answered him:
"We are in the far ring of the hurricane. The sea has changed color and turned black. Prepare yourself for the worst. Tell your friend, the pilot Shnemo, that the hurricane will scatter us, but the clouds will gather again once it passes."
The hurricane moved on, and the clouds slowly regrouped. Suddenly, the girl Akemi appeared again, meeting the king and the pilot.
"Are you both alright?" she asked.
The king looked at her in shock:
"What is this? Where is the red cloud I was riding? It has changed color… it is black now."
Akemi's face turned grave.
"Because the great war is about to begin. A squadron of planes loaded with nuclear bombs will pass above us. But if the pilots listen to my message and refrain from pressing the button, the bombs will freeze… and they will return safely, while you return to your palace."
