Chapter 13: First Interlude-Tale of Rioss and Alteria
Long ago, in ancient China, there lived the Grand Master Dashi. He was the master of the Shen Gong Wu. One day, he found a young boy in the nearby village. He made the boy his apprentice, teaching him the ways of the Shen Gong Wu.
Nearby, waiting for her moment to rule the world with the power of the Shen Gong Wu, Wuya held her small child, a young girl she had named Alteria. She raised the child in isolation to the outside world.
One day, Rioss, Dashi's apprentice, was exploring the nearby mountain when he met a young girl picking flowers. He spoke to her shyly. They soon became good friends, playing at the Xiaolin Temple. As the years went by, they became lovers.
Dashi looked on with great pride at the growth of his apprentice. He knew that Rioss' destiny was not at the Xiaolin Temple. He met with Alteria's mother many times, never knowing of Wuya's evil intentions.
Wuya was also happy that Alteria had met Rioss, and not just because it allowed her nearer to the Shen Gong Wu than anything else could have. She was also happy because her daughter truly loved Rioss. She planned to make Rioss willing to join the Heylin Side when she put her plan into action.
She waited until the year when Dojo Kanojo Cho would reveal his true power, and opened the cage. At this time, she also planted and watered the Heylin Seed. It was at this time that she learned her daughet was pregnant.
Dashi was furious when he found that Atlantis had sunk, the seed had been planted, and his apprentice had knocked up the daughter of the causer of all the destruction. He chased Rioss through the woods until Rioss pulled out the Orb of Tornami, freezing himself in ice. Through the ice the Rat's Paw could be seen. It wasn't long after that that Dashi sealed Wuya within the Puzzle Box and Alteria within a Shen Gong Wu that was sealed away and forgotten. Dashi then used the Wushan Geyser to make his new partner, Dojo, unable to remember where the Shen Gong Wu that Rioss used were hidden.
This is the story Dojo told the Xiaolin Dragons. He neglected to mention several details that will be explained later. One of the things he neglected to mention is that the child of Rioss and Alteria was born, a young boy. He also neglected to mention that he was inflicted with the Heylin Curse, which skips a generation. The Curse forces one to join the Heylin Side, whether they want to or not. Then they have to stay on the side of evil for as long as they live.
He also neglected to mention that the boy looked up to his father before Wuya revealed her evil side. His youth did not remember his grandmother, and she did not remember him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been coming on to him during the second season finale, when he turned Omi into a lion cub. One more thing: He left out the part of Rioss teaching Chase Young, his son, 'Repulse the Monkey,' which could only be learnt by the Blood of Rioss.
