Deep in the dark eerie forest where the tall oak trees covered the winter sun above, a man covered in blood held within his arm a small child wrapped in a thick dark purple coat. Despite his injuries, the man held onto the child protectively while he rushed through the silent forest. He left no footprint in the snow even with the weight of the child, but his injuries left a trail of blood.

"Daddy..." The child gripped on his robe tightly.

He held the child closer to his heart, wanting to ease her worries while he increase his speed.

"This is the end Lei Kai"

Suddenly, ten men all dressed in white robe surround them. The child eyes flickered to the men who have the appearance of angels. Behind their clean white facade, she knew their hidden dark hearts.

"Cowards" The injured man sneered. "Despicable cowards"

"Have your last words" They smirked.

Seeing no way out of the tight circle of enemies, the man pressed a gentle kiss on the child forehead and set her down to her feet.

"Susu" The man eyes were soft and clear like the night moon. "3rd quarter, 1st hour, every 7th"

The comment had sounded strange to the men in white, but to the small child, she nodded with a solemn expression. Giving the child another kiss on the forehead, he whispered something into her ear before she took off running. Two men immediately went after the small child. The injured man was able to kill one off instantly before he was surrounded by the remaining eight.

"Today, the Lei Clan will perish!"

"Have your last words" The man eyes went cold while he pulled out the flexible sword wrapped around his waist like a belt.

Meanwhile, the little girl no older than 8 years old, was running through the forest. There were no tears or fear in her eyes even though she could feel her enemy right behind her.

"There's no use running little princess"

She could sense the man running leisurely behind her. She knew he was playing with her. The man could strike her down at any moment; instead, he was letting her run. It was a hunting game for him. Feeling bitter for being treated like a toy, she could only endure. Her father had ordered her to run and she will obey.

"This is the end little princess"

Just before she reached the end, a powerful force hit her hard from behind causing her small body to fly out the forest. Before her body hit the ground, she turned and threw out a clear purple silk thread hidden within her wide sleeves. The thread wrapped around the man's body, causing temporary immobility. The little girl landed on her feet and pulled on the strings with all her strength. But the man laughed and broke free, causing her to cough out a mouth full of blood before she fell to her knees. Refusing to give up, the girl forced her shaking legs to stand as her eyes held no emotion toward the man laughing at her.

"It's a shame you were born to the Lei Clan" The man had to admire the small little girl will power.

The girl didn't care for anything her enemy has to say and threw another around of strings at him. The man easily dodged her attempts to bind him, and soon, he stood right in front of her. He grabbed her by her throat, lifting her small body like a rag doll. Her eyes flashed defiantly even while he choked her. The man had been so cocky with that he didn't even see the purple threads suddenly on his arm. When he realized it, it was already too late. The thread was like a sword, inflicting a long cut through his sleeve.

"You little_"

He tossed the child to the ground at the sharp pain. Seeing the large bleeding wound against his white robe, he kicked the child before crushing her head with his feet. Even then, the girl did not cry out. Her eyes glared up at him.

"Die!"

He lifted his foot and was about to give the final blow to her head when a deadly slice of the wind stopped him. The man flew back to escape the heavy sword.
