Chapter 0: Suho

In the faraway north at the land realm, where the ice and blizzard dance together with the wind creating perfect spirals.To the naked eye this may seems a wonderful scenery, but if you got too close to this storm , death is the only thing that awaits you.

But amidst this hellish storm a woman carrying a new born child runs like mad dog  evading this spiral blizzard as best as she can but still sustaining some wounds, her white clothes was dyed with scarlet color.Her face was so pale  it seems like she would crumble even from a gentle touch. Still she continued running, staking her life on the line, while her blood continues to drip mixing with the white snow.  She is so exhausted that for every step she takes she feels like her body would break and her vision was also starting to get blurry but every time she hears the wicked laughter behind her, she would immediately regain her consciousness and continue to run with all her might.She could allow herself to die but she would never allow the child in her arms to get capture by the demons chasing her, she could not imagine the horror and cruelty they will do to this poor child.

Behind the woman was six winged demons they have three eyes on their faces, the have the same figure as the humans only their physique is way bigger and very horrifying to look at. This is also why the humans keeps constantly losing the war, not only the fact that the body of demons are more stronger, able to tear human flesh with a light strike, but also, just standing infront of them and facing their horrific appearance one would almost lose his courage fighting. And this three eyed winged  demons are considered elite force of the demon army, comparable to a thousand human soldiers. They may not be able to speak in language but they have intelligence same as human.If they want to they could easily catch the woman, but of course they won't do that, they are demons known for their cruelty even though they would love to rip her apart they won't do it immediately. They would first watch their pray be buried with despair they love to see her suffer as she cling to false hope. And even though they almost chased her for almost a day now, they would only get exited as the time pass, hoping for an even more desperate action that woman would make.And just like this they continued to tail behind her laughing in the most horrific way they can.

Almost a day had pass, still the woman hadn't stop running from the demons. Deep inside she knows that only a cruel fate awaits her and the child in her arms. She is in the ice valley the most isolated place in the north , a region so cold and dangerous that no civilization dared to live here. Of course no one would be able to help her here, the child in her arms kept crying and crying but she does not have the luxury to calm him she just cover him with white cloth and form a  barrier around him protecting him from the cold as she continue to run desperately.Time continue to pass, the woman had already lose all her energy she was now just walking desperately her footprints paints the snow with scarlet color, just base on her appearance anyone could tell the she could die any moment now. The demons fly in circles above her, excitedly laughing as they watch their prey draw her last breath their face filled with ecstasy, looking at her miserable appearance.The woman had already fallen to the ground , her senses had already become numb still she keeps hearing the laughter of demons getting louder and louder, her face littering with tears and blood, looking at the child infront of her.

She knew that they were already doomed, she don't care about her life but she pity the sweet child entrusted to her for having such a cruel fate. So young but already at the deaths doorstep, she had already done all her best she had ran for a day with no rest dragging her wounded body protecting the child but still fate remains cruel to them.

Her eyes remains at the child, her consciousness was about to fade, she put her hands at the child face, she knew she would die any moment now, still she used her final energy forming a magic barrier around the child, hoping that the demons would not be able to break this barrier. But who was she kidding she is so exhausted when she construct this barrier, it may last long if she had made this at full energy but now she is already at the verge of dying, but still she continue to do so hoping for a miracle.

    " Madam Im  sorry it seems like even giving my life is not enough to save  your child, Im sorry young master if I get a chance to meet you in my next life I promise I'll become strong enough to protect you properly."the woman whispered softly before she had finally close her eyes.

Just like this the woman had died suffering from exhaustion and despair. The demons above had ceased laughing, there was even a trace of disappoint in their eyes. But as they heard the cry of the baby, excitement began to boil again in their eyes, as they grin one after aother . One demon land on the ground in front of the child but as he was just about to grab him a swift wind pass through him cutting him in half. The other demons immediately become terrified witnessing this scene, they maybe fierce creatures but they are not that dumb  to differentiate a prey and a predator. And down there is their leader strong enough to fight all of them at the same time, they know that there is something here much stronger than them, but before they got the chance to flee another swift wind pass through them slicing them in pieces. And just like this the six elite demons had died without even having the chance to fight. They were enjoying watching the death of the woman not knowing that they would soon follow.

After a little time a middle age man landed behind the woman's corpse witnessing the appearance of this woman, the child crying in front of her  and looking at the bodies of the  demons he had killed , he had already figured what had transpired here. A traced of pity shimmering in his eyes " sigh, poor girl to force yourself to this extent, she must be your son that you would be willing  protect her so desperately".

The man walks toward the crying child holding him between his arms, he softly chanted some words in the child ears making him fall asleep.

"Alas, this must be fate you may have lost your mother today, but your still fortunate enough that our paths have crossed" he said to himself while looking at the baby. As he was about to take his eyes away from him he notice the wooden pendant tied at the baby's neck" is this your name? Suho".
