Title: Hydrolysis Rating: G Word Count: 198 Pairing: Jon/Zahir Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Hydrolysis: The chemical reaction that splits apart a molecule using water.
For any young child, it is a difficult moment when he parts with his childhood. Boys who were to be pages were removed at a younger age than most.
The trial in Zahir, however, was not over the struggle to leave behind his childish ways. Growing up in the desert, there was little time to do more than survive, and even a young boy’s restless energy was put to use.
Zahir ran his fingers through the fine sand. He had taken his first step here, had traveled across the desert and back. He knew the location of the nearby oases, the secret lairs of the desert predators. He knew how to drink water from plants, how to live and thrive on little more than hot air and sand.
He would leave all of this to go into the service of the Northern King, this King Jonathan. The Voice had come to their tribe, and of all of the boys, had chosen him.
Zahir supposed that he ought to feel proud.
Yet as he slowly packed his bags for the long journey north, to a land drowning in water, a part of Zahir remained, rooted to the shifting sands.
Excluded for not having enough Jon (J/Z) in it.

I love the way you wove chem into this Indeed, in a sense, Zahir's identity is split by the call of the king, as he follows the water.
