Chapter One: Khu Pedsora
Eight years ago, the three boys played outside on the hill where the great view of the beach in Rio. The black and white spots ball popped whirling rapidly in the air, blocking the light of the golden sun. Suddenly, it stopped in the mid-air and fell back to the nine-year-old kicker's leg, bouncing it with his knees in gently rhymes.
His full name was Aseso Khu Pedsora, before you know him as in the Heylin Tiger of Darkness, will be return back the way he was before moving to Ohio since his little cousin's parents was killed.
"Give it back!"
He looked up with his soft amethyst eyes, frowning at other boys. One young eight-year-old cousin with brown hair and innocent dark green eyes with tears. Another older twelve-year-old brother of his with light brown and with light green eyes while his idiotic cocky grin. Marcos… Why don't he have to leave him alone? He thought with an annoying groan.
"Marcos, give that teddy back to him!" He said caught his beloved soccer ball and clutching it in his hands, glaring lazily at his older brother.
Marcos grinned cockily at him, lifting the small brown bear teddy higher in the air taunting at the young child.
"Let me think…ummmm…. No way!" He laughed not caring the young child stopped leaping and puffed angrily at him. The young child got other idea as he kicked him in the shin – harder.
"OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!"
Marcos clutched his ankle while he was bouncing on one leg and glaring at the grinning child with the teddy in his arms.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" He howled in fury, nursing his new injured ankle and shot a dirty look at his young brother who was laughing his butt off while rolling over the grasses. "Aseso! Quit laughing!"
"You, of course, deserved it for teasing him so cruelly!" Aseso laughed, gasping for the air from the deadly suffocating of the laughter. Finally, he recovered quickly and scooped up his soccer ball. "Who's up for soccer game?"
The young child lit his dark green eyes up brightly, grinning up at him. "Can I join?" He asked, clutching his favorite teddy.
Marcos snorted, laying his back on the grass and looking up at the wandering clouds in the blue sky. "You can't, Rai. You're too young to kick." He taunted, grinning.
Aseso turned his head back to his brother with a sly smirk. "If he's too young to kick, then why are you whining about how hurt he kick you in shin?" He asked, grinned when he heard his little cousin snickered quietly.
Marcos scowled, opened his mouth and then he decided to against it so he shut it quickly. Closing his light green eyes, he turned his back on them and start to snoring lightly.
Aseso rolled his amethyst eyes and turned to his cousin. "Raimundo, let's go play and I will show you a few tricks." He said, running toward the field of the soccer game while he was kicking the ball.
The soccer ball whirled again in the air…

Aseso widened his arms so stretching, shielding his goal cage away from the young boy who has the ball in under his control running toward him. He grinned, since he was a best player, kicker and defender in the soccer team, he had no problem to block the blow.
But for the first time in his life, when he caught the glimpse of the strange aura on his cousin while he was ready to kick the ball. He thought he saw the white light glowed on his cousin's leg and he thinks it must be sun light shined on his cousin.
Suddenly, he had to blink in one second and the white glowing soccer ball past him leaving the hole in the goal cage. Aseso glanced back at the soccer ball with shock-stuck expression on his face and looked back at his cousin, gaping at what he had done. "Whoa…" All he can say but he was in state of shock and his mind was went blank for a second.
Raimundo blinked confusingly at his cousin, running back to him and waving him in the face. "Hello? Earth to Aseso!" He said wondering what he had done to making his cousin in the state of shock.
"Man!" Aseso laughed suddenly, snapping out of his trance and raffling his cousin's hair. "Marc should see you do it again some day, Rai. Maybe I should give you a nickname… hmm… You run like a wind and kick the ball like a wind. THAT'S IT! Little Wind is a prefect nickname."
Noticing his little cousin looked at him oddly, he laughed running his fingers through his deep dark brown hair.
He shook his head dismissing the image he had seen a mintue ago and walking around the goal to search for the soccer ball.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, right?" He asked, picking up the ball and placed it in his black sport backpack, then he strapped them on his back and walking back to their houses.
Raimundo grinned, catching up with his cousin and began to blabbing continues about what he wants for presents.
The cousins did not aware of what happen to their life when it comes to them on the first day, the black clouds above them coming slowly with the white lightning flashed twice.
---
The next day in the morning, Aseso was running toward the blue house wildly flinging his arms while he had his black back pack on his back where he had a small gift for his cousin inside. He was late because he woke up on nearly 10 in the morning and had to running for one mile away from his house to his cousin's house.
Panting heavily, he stopped at the white door and rising his fist, as he was about to knock on the door but the door swinging slowly opened for him.
"Huh…." Aseso was taken back, blinking his amethyst eyes and then he stepped into the room. "Hello?" He called out, darting his eyes in the room. He ran to the living room, yelling loudly. "Raimundo? Aunt Kara?" He yelled. "Uncle Mi…." He stopped at the doorway, staring at the horror of the scene before him.
The last thing he saw was his Aunt Kara and his Uncle Miguel lying dead on the floor, surrounding the pool of the blood flashed in his mind as he flew up to his cousin's room, calling out his cousin's name. When there was no respond to his cries, he lunged himself on his cousin's bedroom and sobbing. He knew he never see his cousin again.
Outside the window, he did not see the police car moving on, toward the city of Rio. He did not see the sad face of his cousin sat in the back of the police car.
After two hour later, his older brother found him and brought him to his house. He had vowed to search for his cousin and he will not stop until he found him no matter what. But he does not know something will happen to him when he left his beloved hometown.
---
One year later, he just turns ten and quickly left his family to searching for his cousin. Aseso walked through the woods, carrying the black backpack on his back while he was whistling quietly.
SNAP!
He stopped his whistling and turned around, looking for the noise but he sees nothing behind the woods. Struggling his shoulders, he turned back what he was doing start to whistling quietly walking through the woods.
SNAP!
Stopping quickly on his tracks, Aseso narrowed his amethyst eyes and whirled around, seeing nothing behind the woods. "COME OUT WHOEVER YOU ARE!" He yelled angrily, glaring at the woods.
He paused, hearing no responds to him and turned around to walking again. To keep his ears open, waiting for the same noise. Three…. Two…. One—
SNAP!
He whirled quickly, kicked the bush next to him and grinned when he heard the loud yelp behind it. Revealing the source of the noise was a young boy, probably about a year young than him, had a strange long white hair around his waist makes him look like a girl and odd dark gray eyes.
He rubbed his head where the bump that Aseso kicked. "What was that for!" He whined, nursing the new bump on his head.
Aseso sighed. "You should learn how to be silent, not making a sound that might attracting the prey's attention." He glanced at him again, frowning. "Oddly, you looks like an elf."
The white haired boy scowled darkly, "I'm not an elf! I'm an werewolf you moron!"
Aseso snorted at this and said, "Yeah right."
He turned around walking through the woods and the white haired boy ran after him. "Wait up, you purple-eyed freak!" He yelled grinning at his soon be best friend.
Aseso sighed, knowing he'd regret to meet the idiot who thinks he's a werewolf. "I'm not purple-eyed freak. My name is Aseso Khu Pedsora." He replied, ignoring the white haired boy who grinned at him.
"What a strange long name for a kid like you," Lobo replied, stuck out his hand at the silent person. "Lobo Fang Wolf."
Aseso glanced back at him. "Same yours as well, Lobo."
Lobo laughed, shaking his head. "True, Khu, true."
"Khu?" Aseso quirked an eyebrow up questioningly at the strangest boy. Lobo nodded, shrugging his shoulders. Aseso shook his head, looking back to the path. "You're weird but I guess you're not bad at all."
Lobo grinned, looking up at the setting sun and back to Aseso. "Khu, looks like I have to go home. Meet me at the Lunar Falls tonight." He said, running back through where he was came from.
Aseso blinked, turning his head back to him. "What's Lunar Falls?" He called out knowing that strangest boy can't hear him. Shaking his head, he looked up at the rising moon in the soon to be night sky.
Well, that seem I have no choice but to go where he going to. He thought, walking to where the white haired boy run to.
At Lunar Falls, he meets Lobo and the little boy, he hadn't met yet, was hiding behind the white haired boy. Probably that child is his little brother. He thought, looking down at the gray haired boy with softening pale silver eyes.
"This is Kobo, Khu, my little brother." Lobo grinned proudly, closed his eyes and placed his fists on his hips as if he were the best brother in the world. Aseso sighed, resisting the urge to knock some sense into the idiot one and noted the strangest mirror were clutched in the child's hands.
"What is that?" Aseso asked, looking at the mirror as the four-years-old young child jerked up in surprise at him and then he looked down at the mirror in his hand, still not respond to his question.
"Don't mind him, pal." Lobo said, shaking his head sadly. "He won't say anything since our parent died."
The memory of his cousin's dead parent flashed across his mind, Aseso nodded understandingly and paused for a moment. "Uhh… Lobo…" He winced knowing he had to swallowed his pride and ask for a favor.
Lobo perked up and grinned. "Yes?"
"Can I stay at your home?"
---
After one year later, Aseso already turned eleven and left Lobo and Kobo's odd house – of course they lives in cave, like wolves, with their packs. He carried the airport ticket, thanks to Lobo's thief skill, so he can travel anywhere he wants and he choose China.
Something silver shining caught his amethyst eyes he turned his head and noticed the odd blade stuck in the statue of the tiger where it stabbed into the tiger's heart was. Reaching for the sword and wrapping it with his fingers as he pulled it to see if it can be still stuck or not, realizing it was indeed stuck.
He pulled hard and the sword didn't move any inch, frowned at it. I feel like I was in the some fantasy tale. He thought dryly to himself, rubbing his palms.
Aseso huffed, pulling it with his all mighty for one last time and he was practically flying backward in the air, holding the sword in his hand. He crushed down on the ground, groaning at the sudden impact and glanced back at what he was holding.
The sword was the beautiful craving of the silver blade, with strange drawing of the black line over it and the black hilt with the silver fur like any normal rare swords would have.
"So it seem you are one of the true chosen ones, The Heylin Tiger of Darkness."
He was startled at the voice behind him whirling around and stared at the man stood in the shadow he can't see his face.
Next thing he knew was his world blacked out and he managed the blurred glimpse of the image was all he saw… Those dragon's icy, dull golden eyes…
His first adventure had already beginning next day, as he becomes the Heylin Tiger of Darkness. At same time he lost his memories of his long lost cousin who had already moved to become his enemy soon.
