Brown eyes, black hair, good nose, long eyelashes...

"Oh my gosh, what a pretty boy he is"

"Yeah right, I know it"

"Look at him, so cute"

Many people said that when they met the young boy, Ruen.

A pretty boy, born with a unique talent, really caught people's attention. His sweet attitude and respectful character added some good points on him. He loved the way they treated him nicely.

But nothing last forever, even the kindness of the people, and the young boy, Ruen.

The light that used to shine brightly suddenly turned dark, full of sorrow and gloom. The darkness had already consumed the light, completely.

No one knew where the darkness came from, just like earthquake, no one could predict it, even the one with the blessing couldn't predict it precisely.

But he knew that the darkness would haunt him.

It's just an intuition. An intuition that saved him from the death.

On that night, the cheerful and bright Ruen already prepared himself. He felt like that night was the time where the darkness barged into his house, so he told his family to leave and hide in a safe place, while he created an illusion of his family and him having dinner together.

After finishing his illusion trick, he ran to the forest as fast as he could. The forest was filled with magical creatures. It would be hard for the darkness to find him because of the magical creatures' aura was similar to magician's.

Not long after he entered the forest, the darkness came to his neighborhood. The ilusion that were made by Ruen was successfully useful. The darkness possessed people's mind to burn the empty house.

And with that, Ruen was alive, still, struggling over his life in the dangerous forest, alone.
