Chapter 3

Daiyu was now on her way to go to her grandparents' house. She struggled to walk as she was slowly losing energy. On the way, villagers were whispering among themselves while glancing at Daiyu. She figured they were talking about her by then.

As she reached her grandparents' house, her cousin, Wu Qiang greeted her at the door.

"Grandmother! Grandfather! Mother! The failure of our family is here!"

(I'm going to call Yu Daiyu, Luo Daiyu from now on)

'What a nice way of greeting your cousin' Daiyu thought sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. Was Wu Qiang blind? Couldn't she see that her cousin, Luo Daiyu was in desperate need of medical care? Or was it that she just didn't care?

Wu Qiang's mother, or Daiyu's aunt, came rushing out of the house. "Wu Qiang! Don't speak to your cousin like that! No matter how strong or weak she is, you should still respect her, she's your cousin!" Luo Daiyu's aunt scolded Wu Qiang. As she turned her head to talk to Luo Daiyu, her eyes widened and there was a loud gasp that came out of her mouth.

"Daiyu! What happened to you!? Why are you bleeding so much?! Father! Mother! Daiyu needs help!" She exclaimed.

Luo Daiyu began to feel weary as the pain grew severe. Her eyes slowly shut as she saw her grandmother rushing towards her.

"How do you feel?" A voice called out, as Luo Daiyu steadily opened her eyes.

"Who are you?" Luo Daiyu hissed, still in pain. The man snickered playfully as he continued "Oh my dear cousin, how do you not remember me?"

Luo Daiyu looked at the man. The man had jet black hair and his green eyes twinkled, almost like a star. He was very handsome too! He looked nothing like the Wu family. The Wu family all had brown hair, except her mother and her, and now this man! Her mother looked different because she was born with Poliosis, a condition where hair lacks pigment and hence, turns white. Luo Daiyu had inherited her mother's genes and but still inherited some blue pigment from her father's genes.

Luo Daiyu looked into her memories to check whether this man was someone she knew. Luo Daiyu observed the man very closely. He was an orphan until he was adopted by her aunt. He was Wu Qiang's adopted brother, Wu Qingsheng.

In Luo Daiyu's memories, he always seemed to treat Luo Daiyu well. He was very different from Wu Qiang. Wu Qiang would make fun of her while, Wu Qingsheng treated her like a sister, at least that's how she felt.

This world was different from the world which she lived in. Though, it had human beings, it had many different features. The human beings were supposed to be good at martial arts and be able to develop distinctive powers based on the five elements (Metal, Wind, Fire, Water and Earth) by the age of thirteen. Sometimes, it would be different. Some people who weren't so gifted and would be either, able to do martial arts or develop special powers. Some people who weren't gifted at all, like how Luo Daiyu was, would be called failures.
