Beginning (Part 1)

Seven (7) Years Later:

At the top of an ice mountain a little boy with white hair, tied in a bun, was seen meditating. Legs crossed, eyes closed, both hands in the air as ice snow fell on him. On his forehead was a red flower drawing. He stayed like that until the moon came out.

Soon, he opened his eyes, his eyeballs were rainbow colors which changed into silver, he breathed in and stood up.

"Let's go home." He called out and a large Leopard made of wind appeared beside him, at his left side.

"I thought you would stay here all night." The leopard said yawning loudly.

"I don't know why he likes involving us in his meditation, have you ever seen a Lion who meditates before?" A large fire Lion said appearing next to the leopard as he stretched himself.

"I think he must have seen one." The leopard responded.

"Then that Lion he saw do not come from my lineage, I could hardly feel my beautiful paws." The fire Lion said and dramatically fall down to the ground, lifting up his four paws to the air.

"Meditating helps clear the mind." The white-haired boy said, even though he try to make his voice sound soft which failed woefully but they were used to his harsh tone. "If you are lost and you meditate, you will find the right path before you."

"Well good thing I am not lost, I know my way home like the back of my paws." The Leopard said.

"Ice fang doesn't meditate with us and you never force that wolf."

"I wonder what he sees in that wolf that he doesn't see in us." The fire Lion said playfully and stood up on four, wagging his fire tail. "Not that he is stronger than us."

"Ice fang meditate but you jealousy lazy bones won't see it." A new voice joins them, and a very large ice lycan werewolf appears at the white-haired boy's right side. The ice Lycan was seated with his legs crossed, eyes closed with seriousness, and his sharp claws hands in the air. "And please I am trying to concentrate here so keep your voice down."

"How did you get here?" The Leopard and Lion both ask in surprise.

"Actually, just now and my butt is paining me." The werewolf said standing up on hind feet, his rainbow long tail wrapping around the young boy, who is their master, body and placing him on his shoulder, "I am here to take him home." With that he leapt to the air and was gone, ice falling around in flower forms.

"Show off." The Lion said, rolling his eyes and disappeared, the Leopard was gone too.

"Mother, you did not drink your soup." The white-haired boy said sadly as he

entered the cave where he lived with his mother.

Flower coughed, her face was pale. She was sick and dying, she had made a huge sacrifice by giving birth to her son. It had drained all her powers and strength but she managed to take care, feed and taught her son how to fight until her body couldn't move again last winter and now her son was taking care of her.

The white-haired boy carried the soup. "I am going to warm it, mother."

"Don't bother yourself son, seat with me." Flower said and he did. "I will be gone soon and you will be the last of our kind."

"Don't talk like that mother, I am going to find a cure to treat your illness, I just need to concentrate a little more."

Oh, he won't understand. Her illness can't be cured.

Flower thought.

"Listen Winter, long ago we owned the spirits beasts but greediness made them kill our kind and forcefully took away our spirit beasts, I survived because I went into hiding. That is why if you must leave here, no one should know about your true self. You are special."

The white-haired boy nodded his head and Flower continued. "Love, all the most powerful emotions come from chaos -fear, anger, love- especially love. Love is chaos itself. Think about it! Love makes no sense. It shakes you up and spins you around. And then, eventually , it falls apart and you get hurt at the end just like what your father did. I don't want you to get hurt like me, so my final gift to you is; bring your ear close to me." She said and Winter did as instructed, she then placed her both hands on each of his tiny chest, unlike others supernatural, Winter has two hearts on his right and left chest. Her hands glowed and soon she removed her hands. "I have sealed your two hearts from love, but it can be broken if their love for you is genuine, but remember my son, that love hurts, is better not to experience it but if you do, just remember that it's those we trust and love the most that betrays us."

Flower whispered those words and closed her eyes. "Now go and warm that soup, I am hungry."

Winter turned his back and blew into the soup, it started boiling.

"Your father is the King of the supernatural, his name is Galore." Flower told him.

When Winter turned with the hot soup in his hands, the soup fell from his hands, His mother had almost faded away.

"I hope you don't end up like me Winter." Those were her last words before she faded away, her bed was empty.

Beginning (Part 2)

Winter cried all through the night.

Love had done this to his mother. Many nights he would stay awake and heard his mother crying calling out that name 'Galore'. No one needed to tell him who Galore is, he had already figured it out.

His hatred for the bearer of the name increases.

Galore you just wait for him.

Two Days Later....

Black Lycan Moon Kingdom:

King Galore Castle was filled with people who came to see the wolf Prince with various gifts. It was his birthday and every supernatural trooped to the castle to present gifts for the ten year old prince.

As soon as they gave the young prince their gifts, they left the throne room.

The five king's were present. The gods and the two Lord's were also present. They were in the throne room, seated, eating and drinking as the people troop in to meet the young prince.

Galore, his wife, Queen Lati and their son Blue were seated.

"An idea came to me yesterday evening when I went out for a walk in my garden. I want to build a big school for the supernatural where only the strongest will be accepted." King Galore said smiling as a fairy came to drop her gift at the feet of his son. A servant came and carried the box to where the rest of the gifts are kept. "I mean each kingdom, the Fairy Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom, the Vampire Kingdom, the Werewolf Kingdom, the Witch Kingdom and Elf Kingdom will build a school where whoever wants to come to the supernatural school will undergo a test of strength and power." He added.

"That's actually a good idea." Zeus said in agreement.

The five king's nodded their heads.

"I'm in support." King Vic, the vampire King said.

"...." The fairy King opened his mouth to say something but paused when he noticed something was wrong.

The rest of them also noticed it. Apart from them, everyone else was freezed, they couldn't move, they were frozen with a bit of ice on them.

"What is going on?" King Galore asked getting up to his feet. Queen Lati carried her son on her lap as the gods, the king's and the two Lord's stayed alert.

Winter entered the throne room as if he owns the place. He heads straight to King Galore and drops the small bag with him on the floor.

"You must be Galore, right?" He asked.

"The nerves. I am Galore, who are you?" King Galore demanded.

"Your son."

"Shut up, my mate doesn't have any other son apart from the one in my arms." Queen Lati said.

"Be quiet, I wasn't talking to you." Winter told her and focused on a glaring Galore. "It wasn't hard to find this place Galore, I was coming here to kill you but then when I realized that you are not just the werewolf King but the King who rules the whole supernatural, I came up with an idea, two ideas actually." He added. "My first idea was to kill you, your wife and your son, though not easy deaths and the second idea, live here and make your life more miserable. So Galore, which of the ideas would you choose?"

"You...." King Galore leapt into the air in anger and changed into his Lycan werewolf, descending on the white-haired boy who vanished into thin air. "Where is he? I will tear his body into pieces." King Galore said in his beast form.

"I am here."

All of them looked up at the ceiling and saw him there, relaxing with his eyes close.

"I am just buying you time to decide which idea you prefer."

King Galore roared and leapt towards him once again and Winter used his index finger to push the approaching Lycan back.

King Galore fell down to the floor but was back to his feet and Winter was suddenly in his face.

"Choose, you are wasting my time Galore." Winter said pinning Galore to the ground. He couldn't move.

"What are you all waiting for, fight him."

The five king's and the two Lord's were the first to attack.

"Windy." Winter whispered softly and the wind Leopard appeared, large and it caged them, they couldn't see what was holding them.

Ares was the first god who made a move to attack Winter.

"Stay out of this." Winter said as he freezes Ares by touching him in his feet. Poseidon came next and tried to use his water power to attack but Winter was fast to grab his hand, not releasing him even when Ares tried to free his hand.

"I can't really see through him." Athena's voice was heard.

"Weren't you told to mind your busine-" Winter didn't get to finish his sentence when Zeus punched him hard and the punch sent him flying, hitting one of the walls hard which cracked.

"Whoever you are or wherever you come from, don't mess with the gods. We are your superio-" Zeus halted and shouted in pain when he felt Winter icy hand on the hand he had used to punch him. He screamed again when Winter with one tug removed that arm completely.

"You might be the superior in whatever hole you crawl out from, but here, I am the King." Winter said and started to ice the arm in his hand. He walked to where Galore was and smiled coldly, ignoring Zeus who was bleeding. "Which do you choose?" His voice was cold and emotionless.

"The second idea." King Galore responded immediately, full of fear.

Patting Galore's head as a mother would pat her little son's head.

"You choose well Galore." He snapped his fingers and his wind Leopard freed his captives who were shocked and short of words.

"What is your name?" Athena asked but Winter ignored her, she continued, "You did not just fight them, you took some of their powers. You are truly ruthless."

"That's my name." His cold voice sent shivers down the spine of everyone.

Winter had died the night his mother was gone and Ruthless was born.

Beginning (Part 3)

He unfreezes the people and guards and they take to their heels, even though they were freezed they could still see what happened.

He made the arm of Zeus, which he had iced, to disappear.

He walked steadily to where Queen Pati was and stared at her son, Blue.

"You are just lucky you had it all." He said and turned to face Galore. "I need to rest, take me to my room." He told his father and released his hold on him.

Galore was quickly up to his feet and changed into his human form.

"Come with me." Galore whispered almost to himself but Ruthless sharp ears caught the words.

With no words exchange, they left the throne room as Zeus and the gods disappeared.

1,992 Years Later........

The Land of Elves: Vala POV

The sound of a chain making noise draws the eyes of everyone in the market to the bearer of those chains, me.

According to my guardians, when I was born, those chains came with me, sticking to me like a second skin. The chain wrapped around my waist twice and did a X sign across my chest, getting in-between my breasts, and circling my two wrists. The more I grew the more it expanded in size and the weird thing about my chain is that it's never heavy on my body and it knows my emotions. Apart from that, I know how to use it to defend myself, my chains aren't normal ones, it is magical.

You see, I'm not a normal elf, I'm taller than the whole elves in this land including my guardians, 5'9 when most elves are just 5'1 or 5'2 . I don't really have pointy ears like the rest of the Elves.

"Good morning Vala." An elf, a young woman, greeted me as I stopped besides her table. We elves don't grow old. The dark cloak I was putting on didn't hide the chains in both of my wrists and so as they make noise, it attracts everyone.

I totally ignored the whispers going around me as my focus was on the old elf.

"Morning Ratha, I am here for the apples." I said with a smile.

"Why do they like to stress you, why can't Princess Haera send a servant to get the apples for her?" Ratha asked, putting some apples into a basket.

Ratha had once worked in the palace before her retirement so we trusted her. I like her a lot cus she really understands me.

"I'm used to it." I answered with a shrug and waited patiently for her to park some apples in a small basket and gave me two baskets instead of one.

"The other one is for you Vala." She told me sweetly.

"Thank you Ratha." I said as I took the two baskets from her. She was the only one who didn't see me as a freak and two others in the palace.

When I turned to go, the people were still staring at me. I walked back to the palace, pretending not to notice their stares and whispering. Long time ago, when I was young, I would have cried out my eyes at their stares and their side talks, not now. I am almost one thousand years old and I have grown tough.

I arrived at the palace and headed for Haera's room.

Haera and I are related, Queen Alfy and Queen Calfy, who are my guardians, had told me my mother had died before she gave birth to me and they had to tear her stomach to bring out my egg, me, before I die.

I owe them for saving my life and that was why they had turned me into their slave, especially Queen Alfy's daughter, Haera. Even though I live in the palace, have my own nice room and clothes, I am still treated like a servant, but I am used to it.

Knocking on Haera's door.

"Come in." Her beautiful voice was heard and I went in.

Haera is the prettiest elf in the whole Land, no female elf in each clans can match her beauty. She is not only beautiful but a strong fighter. Her stunning black eyes that guys would kill for, just for her to stare them, stared at me irritatedly. Her black hair which wasn't that long was tied in a ponytail.

"Here are your apples." I said dropping one of the baskets besides her and turning to leave.

"Who has the other one you are carrying fatso?" Princess Haera asked me.

Did I forget to mention I'm a plus size, like I have more flesh than any elf here.

"Mine, Ratha gave it to me." I replied to her and didn't wait for another hurtful word from her before I left her room.

I carried my basket of apples and went to the center of the palace, where a lady who is a non elf, was chained. She had served my mother and afterwards betrayed her, as if that was not enough, she murdered my father. And now, to average my parents death, she is being punished, chained to a wall of the palace without a roof. That's where she stays or should I say live.

I was told she was the reason why I am this way. The left side of my face, half of my face, was cracked. Four cracks that trail from my face down to my stomach, it just takes the mercy of the gods that my face didn't fall off. I can't really see with my left eye, the lines from the crack started from my left eye. You know that feeling when you are looking into a deep dark hole and you can't see anything? Yeah, that's how my left side face.

Years back, I was always ashamed of my hideous look and thankfully, I have long hair which I use to cover the side of my face, but looking at the woman who had caused it, she is without a tongue and hands and yet she was always smiling especially when she sees me and that smile alone means a lot to me, no one hardly smile at me, even Haera.

I have learned to forgive Pula for what she did and embrace myself, we can't change and dwell in the past. Remember I told you there are two more people who like me the way I am apart from Ratha? Pula is one and the second one is the palace cook.

I took an apple and brought it to her mouth.

"Eat." I said to her.

Pula sent me a smile before she began to eat the apple. Once she finishes eating one, I will give her another one and since she doesn't have hands, I feed her.

"I will try to speak to my guardians on your behalf so that they will allow you to have a bath. Sorry to say this but you are stinking a lot." I told her hoping she's not offended. She smiled the more and continued eating.

"Your presence is needed Vala, in the throne room." A guard who had approached told me, covering his nose.

I drop the basket besides Pula. "Continue feeding her until I return." I told the guard who widened his eyes as he stared at me in shock. "What happened to your eyes? Why are they wide?" I asked. "If I return and you haven't fed Pula, you will have me to contend with, remember, I am related to your Queens." I reminded him and left. "And don't forget to give her water." I shouted.

______

Entering the throne room, I saw Queen Alfy and Calfy and some of the elves elder's and greeted them. Queen Calfy had just given birth to a girl who was seeping in her arms.

"You sent for me."

"Yes we did." Queen Alfy said. "Tomorrow we are going to the arena with our students."

"Please be careful on your way to the arena aunt." I said.

"I mean all of us will be going." Queen Alfy said.

I look at the elders before me. "Please you all should be careful as you journey to the arena tomorrow."

"Vala, don't joke with me. You are following us to the arena tomorrow, now you are going to make sure we take the first position just like the way you've been doing." Queen Alfy said.

You see, finishing in the elves school isn't that hard but gaining admission into the supernatural where you will meet various supernatural creatures, is very hard.

Tomorrow at the arena, the whole students of various kingdoms will gather and we will be given a task each more like a death task, the first, second and third kingdoms to win will be accepted to study in the supernatural school.

My job is to make sure my team emerges the winner, taking the first position, and that I have been doing for the past three hundred years.
