Lu Yi slammed his book shut. It was the third book he had finished that day. Reading was one of the most exciting activates when you're neglected from your family and all of mankind.

The clouds seemed to be floating in circles around him. They were all free to do as they wished. Yi felt like they were mocking him. He felt as if he would never be free.

Leaves made crackling sounds every time the wind blew. The sound was enjoyable to listen to when in silence. The winds cool breeze and the sounds of the trees swaying sounded so peaceful that it could put you to sleep.

Yi was endlessly staring at the sky. He was trying to find a glimpse of his mother's dead soul in the heavens. She was the only one who ever cared for him, alive or not. His chocolate brown eyes followed the clouds motions.

"Hey kid!"

Lu Yi broke out of his thoughts when he heard a bothersome voice. He turned towards the speaker. It was his unpleasant father Lu Yu. 'Oh joy. The old fool bothers me when I am in peace.'

"Hey kid! Get your butt down here! I need you to go into the village to get me some food!" Yu yelled angrily. Yi should have been the angry one, but he was only ticked off by his father's gruff voice.

"Why don't you get it yourself old man? It's only a few feet away!" Yi was trying to keep his temper calm but his annoyance wasn't helping. He could tell his father was just getting angrier.

"Don't start questioning me kid! Now get out of that tree and get me my dang food!"

"Get it yourself!" Yi repeated in an equally infuriated tone. 'If he tells me to go get him some food one more time I'm gonna-'

"Boy I walked all the way down here from my house," Lu Yu said, pointing to the tremendous house, which seemed more like a castle. "And you won't even do me a favor to get me some food? Lousy kids gone lazy."

"I wouldn't be calling others lazy father. If you hadn't wasted your time coming down here to tell me to get you some food and instead gone straight to the village, you would have your 'precious' food by now." Lu Yi said logically. 'Idiot bastard of a father...'

Lu Yu stared at his son in bewilderment. He never was the smartest person on the planet. It took him a while before speaking up again. "Don't talk to me with all'em big words! You need to be taught respect you rotten good for nothing kid..."

'I have plenty of respect. None that that idiot deserves...' Yi thought furiously. His father was mumbling a type of gibberish, only the kind that idiots could understand. Lu Yi rolled his eyes at his father's retreating form. "The only one who needs to be taught some respect is you."

Yi jumped out of the tall tree with his book in hand. He landed on his feet, nearly stumbling backwards. He stretched his arms and legs. Slight anger still boiled within him after his father-son feud, but luckily, it was wearing away.

Yi started walking towards the village. He wasn't going to get his father some food. He was going to take a walk. Normally, Yi would have gone into the forest and by the river, but today, merchants were fishing there and he didn't want to bother them.

When he entered the village, he thought he'd see a normal day. The civilians walking back and forth, buying and selling, ignoring him, Today was slightly different, but they were still ignoring them All the civilians, including his father, was an a big circle. 'My, my, my I wonder what they're talking about..."

Lu Yi walked up to the others, still not being noticed. He stood close behind him, leaning towards everyone so he could listen well. It seemed like they were in a village meeting without him.

"Let us get this meeting in order!" The village elder shouted. "Now we have received a letter that the lord of thy Wu district. He shall be coming here, in our village, tomorrow. We, the village council, do not know why, but we would like everyone to organize themselves to welcome such a person. We all want him to return yes?" All the villagers nodded in agreement or shouted a low 'Yes' to show that they agreed. "Then let us work hard to satisfy him! Conference dismissed! Resume as you were."

The civilians turned around one by one, going back to what they were doing. Some stuck their noses in the air when they saw Lu Yi, who rolled his eyes. The people didn't like him and he didn't have any love for them either.

Yi was about to turn around and leave when he saw the village council and his father go into the council's meeting spot. They were probably the only people who actually liked his father, but then again, they were as unpleasant as he was.

Seeing that he was the only one that noticed them, Lu Yi decided to be sneaky and follow them. He was curious to know what they were going to do. 'I always thought they were all sinister...'

They were all sitting around a small table, with 3 lighted candles on top. "So what did the Suns really want chief? I know that you know what they wanted. You can't lie to the superior Lu Yu!" Yi's father always was arrogant and overconfident. The council laughed.

"Well, since it's you, we will tell you. Like we said, we received a letter from the Lord Sun Ce, stating that he and a few others would be coming he tomorrow. What the townsfolk don't know is that he is planning to speak to one of the many civilians! Isn't that exciting Lu Yu?"

Yu slammed his first on the table. The noise frightened some of he council members. "Is that it? I wasted my valuable time to know that the Lord Sun Ce and company are wishing to come here to visit me?!"

The chief nodded. "That is correct. No one else in this town is decent enough to be spoken to by someone of such great honor, especially your son, Lo Yin I believe." The group laughed. "I forget my so called son's name at times too. My foolish wife had to choose such a horrid name for the boy!"

Yi shook his head when he heard them all laugh again. He slowly walked out of the room. He wasn't sad that they didn't know his name; he didn't really care at the fact. "My mother didn't name me Lu Yi, that bastard named me that..." He mumbled quietly.

'I wonder who this 'Lord Sun Ce' truly wants to speak to. Surely it's not my foolish father. Only someone insane would want to meet him, unless the lord is insane himself...this question will be bothering me all night long."

Nighttime; Lu Yi's room
Yi was sitting in his desk, doing some calligraphy. The question was still on his mind. The villagers were right though. No one in the villager was truly decent, unless if the famous Suns were here just to by some food and other goods. That couldn't be it; they probably had it delivered to them.

"Maybe…maybe they are coming to protect the town from the wars? The villainous Cao Cao has been awfully quiet lately, says the villagers. Perhaps he plans to attack the town? No, that's absurd; maybe they are here to meet someone else of importance? No, not that either."

Lu Yi yawned. He was tired. The only source of light in his room, which was a small candle, was slowly burning our. Yi laid his head on the desk, slowly closing his eyes.

'Maybe...just maybe they are coming to talk...to me...'
