Prologue:
That's it. All gone. All I have left is the sound of soft breathing, leading me to my destiny. I can not feel anything, except for my feet treading a path that many have already followed. Some have even finished the journey. Where are they? Are they near to me?
'Look into your heart my friend, that will be the return to yourself," That was the message I was told. Is it true? Am I in the wrong place? I can feel it now, that everlasting power…
Early Starts:
"I can't go on much longer, can't we mount the elephants?!" Her fiery temper was unusual, yet her rough toes scrapped the rocks one to many times. That's when she was hit, walking the path to unconsciousness.
"Enemies don't get to ride elephants! Let that be a lesson to you, you, evil!" Such strong words being spat from the giant's mouth. Of course he wasn't a real giant; he was just a very big man. But the 'enemies' called him a giant, because of his strength.
"Someone carry her, such temper can be good in some ways. I could use her." Was this good or bad for Aisha? Either way, there was a lot further to go before she finds out the truth.
When she finally awoke she almost screamed, because there, in front of her was the man who had hit her. Aisha didn't know what to do; the right words were left unclear to her. She flinched when the giant's hand was thrust forward forcefully, yet welcoming.
"Take my hand. It is ok, I won't hit you again." His kindness confused Aisha, how can such a big man carry such a kind and gentle heart? Ever way she let him pull her to an upright posture.

His throat was dry and coarse, she was very beautiful. But no! He, the mighty warrior, could not give in to pretty little enemies yet. That was for young weak men. Yet why was he helping her when he was not going to give in. Had he already given in?
"Meng Huo! I… I can't tell you how thankful I am that you have accepted my invitation! Are you bringing this charming young lady friend of yours? No wait, why am I asking? She shall come, but make sure she is in a better state than she is now. Is this how you treat all of your girlfriends? Meng Huo could not help blushing at this. Had his father realised that Aisha was his captured and not his girl friend?
"W…what is going on? I am not your girl friend! I am your capture! I could never love the giant!" Meng Huo was confused at first, until he realised that 'the giant' was, in fact, him! The sharp word did scratch at his mind. How would he get Aisha there?
"Aisha? That is your name, isn't it? You are very b-beautiful and I would be honoured to have you by my side tonight… Please?" She couldn't help but fall at these words; no one had ever called her beautiful before. So she kissed him on the hand and said goodnight, not after accepting her invitation.
