(Prologue) Childhood memories

Once a time their old grandmothers used to say that "Those children will be a pride for heaven one day" but no one knew what those words meant.

It wasn't just a coincidence that those words would spit out instantly from their mouth, it can be said those grandmothers were from ancient times.

They were living for a hundred years and taught their grandchildren rituals, rules and about their ancient monarch, through generation to generation.

They were the Hma, Bēi and Han family. An ancient family that was said to have powers to elect the elements and check their compound powers.

After a long time of serving people and checking through for a long time, there was a special occasion that God himself was preparing for those three families.

A long time of year had passed and it was the time, God sent his disciples to give them a tribute for their deeds for many years that they were fully fulfilling their duties.

The tributes contain many gems, extraordinary things that weren't available at the mortal region. But the foremost thing that brought a smile on both of those families faces was a Correspondence.

It was written

After serving for many years in heaven and sending the best elements to us. Heaven is very pleased with your work. So to show our gratitude we would like to present you some valuable things that your family would like. But the most important thing i wouldn't like to tell you is that after ninety years in your family there will be an element that is going to be born.

It was time that the happiness from their face never faded away for years.

Meanwhile those things were synchronising at the same time when there occurred an endless conflict between 'Two famous tales of warriors' who had died brutally in their battle.

What's far more is to say that, from those three families two of the families might be getting those two famous warrior tales. Because of their blood relation.

***

Ninety years had passed away and the gods' word came true, both of the children were born. The ancestors didn't forget about their blessings so they taught their children many things through period to period for their upcoming element.

Xīn Bēi (心悲) and Han-Cloud (한구름) were the those two children from Bēi and Han family and the other one was..

It was a modern era.

Xīn Bēi mother and Han-Cloud mother were both good friends, that is more absurd to say that they were good friends since from modern era 'no', the fact is that both Bēi and Han family had a very close relationship since both of the family were the elements of identifiers. So it was likely both of their upcoming generation childs have a close friendship too.

"Xīn.." a kid with a vivid smile from far away called out a name, his name was 'Cloud' he has a white charming face and white wavy hair with blue eyes and has an intimate look over his cute face.

Little Xīn had a black curly hair with half grey coloured eyes and carried a smile on his cute white face. Xīn asked in a low voice to him."Oh! Cloud…how was your holiday, did you enjoy it ?"

It was their Grade 2 beginning of elementary school, and after a long time they started their classes.

"Yea I enjoyed it, what about you?"

"Same goes for me" both of them looked at eachother, maybe they were kids happy to see each other after a long time. Together they went ahead to their classes, taking bye from their parents who were behind, watching them together going into their classes.

The Cloud is a little bigger than Xīn in terms of age. They are always together with each other not leaving each other apart, they have such a great bond that can't ever part away, by any means. If you say so.

*****

The class ended at 2 pm. Both Xīn and Cloud's parents were waiting outside.

The bell rang and slowly many children emerged from the entrance gate, some were wearing a smiling face and some were sadful. A minute later both of them came holding each other's hands joyfully and happily.

But when they both looked towards Cloud parents they both saw ominous looks on his parents face, kids that once was merrily coming holding each other hands together but after what they saw Cloud was forced to take their hands apart.

"Mom!" Xīn spoke up.

Xīn mom looked at him and happily said "..Hi sweetie, how was your day"

He said with smiling face "It was good"

"Mm, okay what you want to eat today"

His eyes lit up like a blooming flower "I want to eat Bao bun"

Cloud, who had been standing there quietly, didn't speak a word towards his mother, but instead his father was speaking with him.

Xīn mom and father take best care of Xīn, but today Cloud mom looks very indifferent, tired and looks like doesn't have energy to speak up also and his dad is totally opposite of her, he tries his best to make him happy.

"Xīn, there is something you should know," Xīn dad said in a low, hesitant voice.

"Yea, I think we should just tell them," Cloud's father also said.

"Xīn, we are going to move to a different country," Cloud's father said.

"....." Xīn went silent.

"Isn't school just started Today uncle, aren't teacher gonna scold you for moving"

"They won't, Cloud also knows about this. He just wants to say last good bye to you and wants to spend the last time with you".

"Okay, come back fast okay" Xīn replied.

Xīn was kid on that time and doesn't know some words meaning, he was that much of innocent in kid that sometimes If someone say something bad words to him he won't even understand it.

"We are–" Cloud's father spoke and was interrupted by Cloud's mother.

"Don't worry child we will be back, take care of yourself bye"

"Say bye to Xīn, Cloud."

"Bye…."

"Seeya"

Lastly he saw Cloud looking back from his window seat and a drop of tears falling from his eyes.

Little Xīn doesn't know that moving to a different country means he just thought they will move temporarily to a different place, not country.

Maybe that was the time Xīn must have hated his childhood himself.

When time flew by he understood the past and what had happened he was thinking in daze that he was just a dull person who wasn't even able to say nice goodbye.
