[[~Nobody's POV~]]: Mount Yujun.

It was a beautiful day on Mount Yujun, with panoramic views, overlapping mountains, and deep, plunging valleys, is well known for its scenery, sunrises, sunsets, geological features, and views of the clouds from above. It's often filled with so many people living in their homes, workplace & valleys too; Indisputably, the villagers were smiling and cheerful as their gossips became a habit for everyone, except for one: This one particular little girl with dark brown, green eyes like emeralds, small and fragile, but she turned out to be a brave one to be raised by the bandits; Speaking of them, they left to another errand outside the region until they look for something to get payed by rich people. The little girl didn't have a name but she is an adorable ball of happiness, anyway; While she skips her way towards the old man, who owns the tea shop 5 walks away from her home. Suddenly, a young woman named Xiao Ying, who is around 16 was walking around the stalls of food, every day she'll buy a basket full of foods and drinks and go straight to the other side of the road. Leading towards the left road, she decides to help the lady and asked:

"Can I help you with the delivery, A-Ying?" This made Xiao Ying widen her eyes in surprise as she notices the little girl holding her hand and smiles with kindness as she nods, "Sure but, you must keep it a secret from everyone, alright?" The girl frowns and starts thinking like a goddess (A/N: in my opinion) but, runs away to bring something which confused Xiao Ying at first, then the little girl came back with a warm blanket and some fresh bandages. "Let's go & help him, okay?" She gasped in shock, "How did you know?" whispered Xiao Ying, who later saw her small face and shakes her head by leading the little girl to meet a friend. 

~Mid-day~

"Bye-Bye, A-Lang!" After the little girl met the boy name Lang Ying, she waves goodbye to him and they both became friends in just one day, which made him feel very happy about it because he has never had a real friend only Xiao Ying and that's it. Once the little girl made it to the kitchen on time, cooks the most difficult dishes in the world so that the bandits could save up their own money: She sighs by going inside her thoughts, 'I wonder...If I could go pray to the gods to lend me out of the mountain & ask them to give me happiness like a family or a sibling-like me?' "Ow! Burns!" The girl gotten burned by the hot liquid boiling on her fingers and blows it profoundly, humming herself to calm down and sings, "With One Flower, one sword lullaby~" As she sings the song she invented, an interruption of her guardian bandits came back by yelling in triumph: "HA! We fooled everyone around the mountain & no one suspected us to be quick-witted like you, Xiao Pengtou!" Praised all the Bandits in the house, while the little girl placed the last dish of hampao on the table as she walked towards her adopted older brothers by saying: "Welcome home. Dinner is ready." 

Cheerfully smiles at them with her arms open for them, waiting to be hug but, what she almost forgot was that the Bandits she is raised by don't hug children like her because it would lead to the villagers or their traders that Xiao Pengtou's team a whatever weakness. To be honest, she doesn't even know how to hug someone. Her smile turned to a fake smile and skips her way to show them her loyalty "Can I go to pray? In a temple, please?" she asked Xiao-Gege, while he spits his drink and coughs at the same time in shock at their little girl's request in which, he remembered the day his gang and he found her in front of their doorstep after their trade with others traders from abroad 4 years ago. Nevertheless, the awkward silence encountered the room, including his team, they pretended as nothing had to happen: "Is that a yes, Xiao-Gege?" "Do you see me shaking my head? Well? Go on at night, I don't care if you come late or not." At those words, she cheerfully got excited and ate her dinner, packing some bread for the offering to the heavens and leaves.

~Nighttime~

Running outside the Pengtou Bandit's team, the little girl decided to go to the Ming Guan Temple that everyone's talking about and pray her to wish there since she wanted to see if the rumors were true about wishes coming true. "Okay,..which one is north? *points at the left* Or this way? *points to the right* Oh boy, I think I will make it to the right side of the road." Asking herself like this had almost made her choices stupid but, her curiosity then, shook off the negativity away by Without hesitation, she went into the dark forest known as the head-hanged forest. The forest was dark, no light was in sight, the ground was crumbling as ashes had fallen unto the dirt from the dead bodies that have already hang themselves, which she couldn't see and along with it, there were big holes on them filled with blood; Luckily, she did not see it...for now. While going towards her destination. She coughed out because of the weird smell of the forest that had almost filled her nostrils with disgust and says: "Ew, it smell stinky in here." CRACK! A loud crack came from one of the broken small branches that have been laying on the ground for a long time.

Suddenly something had moved swiftly from one of the bushes behind her as she nerviously felt a chill on her spine, the little girl widen her emerald eyes, glowing like a shinning object as if the green jades have glisten her own reflection while she gazed her eyes at the watery poudle (so she thought); Turning away from looking the other way to the bushes, she speaks calmly at the unknown movement coming from the bushes and asks: "Um...Hello?" No answer replied to the little girl's question while she pretends to walk normally towards the dark path as it gets darker and darker, she could feel the cold shivering down my spine. Just quiet, the air was a bit foggy and dark that I couldn't see anything or the path but, it's not that scary in Mount Yujun forest what's the point? Well, I'm going to brave no matter what. "Hello? Is anyone...here.?" 'I think I heard a growl behind me, should I turn around to check?' Aside from thinking inside her thoughts, she continues walking straight ahead without even a doubt of curiosity on what she has heard from behind but, the curiosity got the best of the little girl and looked around the area. 

Until, a pair of wolves came out and shyly smelled her scent by staring at her, hiding their true intentions, waiting for her to run but, instead she told them, "Aww~~You wolves look so cute!" The little girl squealed in excitement but, the minute I was going to petted it, her smile began to fade away because they started growling deeper into a loud angry tone: "GGRRROOWWLL!!!"

"AAAAHHHH!!" While running away deeper into the forest, not knowing on how to save herself, she trips and falls unto a puddle of red water, or shall I say, "B-Blood-d!...N-no, STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU WOLVES! AAAAAHHHHH!" The little girl screamed like the banshees, scaring the people away from them but with the wolves, that's a different story. Because these wolves began biting her everywhere, her cheeks, arms, and legs due to this, their teeth showed a deadly aura, its teeth were shinning like snow as it has instead shown more blood than before, dripping her own flesh and blood to the puddle as their glowing evil spirits-like eyes are the last thing she would see instead of. Then all of sudden, some pure glowing butterflies came flying around the scene as they all landed on a handsome man who was blocking the wolves from coming nearer but, the little girl couldn't see him properly since she was already about to die without granting her own secret & very wish just like this.

'Butterflies?...' After the bad wolves run away from her savior, the red shadowy figure turns to the little girl and widen his crimson red eyes at this, running towards her side of the red pool that smelled like...fresh blood & a scent of smoke mixed with lavender as if there's a fire inside the deep forest. However, back to her, her savior started examining her injuries as it came to a result of her entire body was poison, the entire body of the little girl was almost curable; All of a sudden, a sharp pain was on her neck, cheek, arms, and legs. She tries to speak to her savior but no words came out until, he stared into her green orbs which of course, shocked him and asked: "Are you alright, little one?" Questioned the man in red robes, looking down at me he notices the bite wounds that I had gotten just now, "H-h-h-hell-lp..me, please.." Those are the last things the little girl said before falling unconsciously, along with my eyes were beginning to lose the balance of staying awake and falling asleep instead, she slowly closes her eyes fell into the endless hole of darkness.
