Mortal Kombat Origins: Invierno
Chapter 1
The young boy was sulking in one of the benches of the funeral home, trying to clean his glasses from the tears of his eyes. He was at the funeral for his parents, who just died from a car accident. Their son, Tiago Andrew Zhang, was just thirteen years of age, and he was all alone in the funeral home. There were no other family members in the room for he had no other family. At only thirteen, Tiago Zhang was truly by himself. He sobbed some more as his head was lowered, until he looked up after hearing the door open. He turned to see a man, who looked around the same age as his parents, walk into the funeral parlor. He also looked similar to Tiago's father, but he perished the thought as he turned back to facethe caskets. The mysterious newcomer walked to the caskets, silently offered his condolences, then Tiago saw that he made some type of a bow to his father's corpse that he found peculiar. The stranger then walked to sit on the same row as Tiago, just two seats away. Tiago could see that the man was of Asian descent like his father, but one striking feature of him were his icy blue eyes. They were of the same shade as his late father's, but Tiago never had the opportunity to ask him about it. They both sat silently and solemnly for a few minutes, until Tiago finally had the courage to talk.
"You knew my parents?" He asked.
"So you are their child, then..." the older man answered. "Yes, I knew of your parents. Your father especially..."
"Then who are you?" The young boy asked. The stranger sighed before answering.
"My name is Kuai Liang," he said. "And I am your uncle."
