Prologue

Aiko walked into her house as the sun was setting, it had been a long day.

"Hello, Māmā," Aiko called into the house.

"Aiko." Her mom called back. "Come back here and help me, I am in the back room."

Aiko threw her sack onto a seat and ran into the back of the house, and walked into the spare bedroom and looked at the bed. A small figure was tucked under a blanket. Yellow hair stuck out under a blanket.

Aiko walked up to the bed, gently kneeling down next to the bed. She slowly pulled back the blanket to see his face. It was extremely pale, his lips twitched, every now and then. "What happened to him?" Aiko asked worriedly.

"I do not know," Māmā said gently, placing her hand on Aiko's shoulder.

"Is he going to be alright?" Aiko asked.

"I think so," Māmā said calmly. "But, his future is uncertain. The gate is closing as we speak, he will be trapped here."

"So?" Aiko asked.

"He does not know where he is," Māmā explained. "He is ill and likely scared. We found a second person with him. We think it was his mother."

"Where is she?" Aiko asked.

"She died being taken back to the city," Māmā said sadly. "Your father and I agreed to take care of the boy, that is if he lives, and he should."

Aiko touched his face. "When will he wake up?"

"We do not know." Māmā sighed. "Get some rest. You are going to help me care for him tomorrow."

Aiko left to go to her bedroom and sat on the bed for a few minutes thinking.

A few days later, the blond haired boy woke up, dizzy and weak.

One green eye opened slowly to examine the room. He moaned as he turned onto his back. Watching the ceiling. "What's going on?" He asked. "Where am I?"

Aiko spun around quickly as she looked at the boy who was struggling to sit up.

She rushed up to the bed and pushed him back into bed. "Stay down, you are way too weak to get up."

The boy watched her tuck her long hair behind her ears. Then she gently held up a warm cup to his mouth and tipped it for him to drink.

Once he got a good drink, Aiko pulled it back. "How do you feel?" She asked slowly.

"Terrible." He replied. "Where am I?"

"You are in K'un-Lun," Aiko said slowly.

"K'un-Lun." The boy repeated. "Dad knew we would get here."

"We?" Aiko asked. "How many people are you talking about?"

"Only four of us. Dad, mom, me, and Mr. Harold Meachum."

"What happened?" Aiko asked, swallowing hard.

The boy swallowed and began to shake. He turned on his side. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Alright." Aiko sighed. "Let me get my Māmā."

Aiko disappeared and came back with Māmā. She gently sat down on the bed and touched the boy's forehead. "Do you feel alright, Háizi?" She asked.

"Háizi?" The boy asked.

"Chinese for child."

"I feel alright." The boy sighed.

"Alright." Māmā sighed, turning to her daughter. "Aiko, how about you go get some fresh air? I need to talk to him alone for a moment."

Aiko nodded, rushing out.

Waiting a moment, Māmā spoke quietly. "First off, can you tell me your name?"

The boy only nodded. He sat up and buried his head in his knees.

"What is it?" Māmā asked again.

"Danny." The boy whispered. "My name is Daniel Tomas Rand. But, I go by Danny."

Aiko was balanced on the curb of the street as she and Danny walked down the road.

"And that building up there is the monastery. It is where warriors are trained, the monks live there also." She pointed out happily.

Danny looked up at her from where he walked next to her and nodded shyly, he crossed his arms over his chest as he hung his head to let his blonde hair cover his face.

"Oh, come on. You can understand me, right?" Aiko asked, slightly annoyed, jumping down and stopping Danny where he stood.

Danny looked up at her and nodded weakly.

"Oh come on can you please say more than five words? Because I do not think you can!" Aiko complained as they walked up the stairs to the monastery.

"Aiko, can you please stop talking?" Danny asked. His voice was nervous.

"Oh." Aiko sighed as she slouched a little and lead the way into the throne room that was used as the base for the council that led K'un-Lun.

Once they stood outside the door Aiko smiled at Danny.

"Alright, so you just go in there and answer any questions that are asked at you. Then you need to be polite and do not speak too much, not that that should be a problem because you do not talk much." Aiko joked.

Danny smiled weakly. "Thank you."

"I will wait outside for you," Aiko assured. And with that she directed Danny through the door.

A few hours later Danny walked out, his arms were crossed above his stomach.

Aiko jumped up from where she has been waiting. Watching Danny as a monk walked out and placed a hand on his shoulder and motioned him to follow.

Danny looked at Aiko with a weak smile as he walked away.

Aiko stood watching him, her mind reeling with curiosity.

Aiko sighed, she probably shouldn't follow him.

But she found herself doing it anyway. The monk led Danny down to the hallways and to a small door.

Aiko was too far behind to hear what was said, but she watched the monk open the door and Danny entered.

Aiko watched the monk bow toward the room, and assumingly toward Danny.

Then the door was closed and the monk walked away.

Aiko waited a moment before walking up to the door and knocked loudly.

Danny appeared at the door, opening it, he looked surprised to see Aiko.

"So what is this?" Aiko asked, looking in the small room.

"The monks said this is where I will be staying. They said I can also stay with your family since you offered to care for me." Danny said quietly.

"That is the longest thing I have heard you say." Aiko smiled with wide eyes.

Danny chuckled to himself and looked at Aiko with a still sad smile.

"Are you alright?" Aiko ask, she gently put a hand on Danny's shoulder.

Danny looked away quickly. "Yeah, I'm fine, just… I'm fine." He wiped his eyes.

"Can I come in?" Aiko asked. Once she saw Danny nod, she walked in and closed the door.

Aiko gently held Danny's arm and lead him over to the bed.

"It is alright," Aiko said, sitting on the bed.

Danny nodded as Aiko pulled him in and hugged him. "It is alright."

Danny fought the urge to cry and lost greatly. Leaning on Aiko, he cried weakly.

Aiko stayed until the bells rang proclaiming it was time for her to go home. She was hesitant to leave but after Danny assured her he would be alright for the night she left.

And the next morning Aiko found herself walking with Danny to the last place she wanted to. They made their way through the endless garden of the palace to the back where there were some gravestones.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Aiko asked Danny quietly in a whispered as they stood at the gated entrance.

"Aiko wouldn't you want to?" Danny replied, looking down at his hands.

"I get it." Aiko nodded. "I will wait here."

"Thank you Aiko." Danny half-smiled and walked among the gravestones.

Aiko watched him until he stopped, and appeared to fall to his knees. Aiko wanted to up to him and try to make him feel better, but something kept her frozen in place.

So she stood quietly, looking from stone to stone to avoid looking at Danny.

Danny eventually stood up and walked back over to Aiko.

"We can go now." He muttered.

Aiko nodded and started to lead Danny back to the monastery.

"Bye, mom," Danny whispered as Aiko looked to him, but didn't say a word.
