HIDDEN KINGDOM, HEWATE (VILLAGE IN THE NORTH)

The little boy stood on both his feet

The little boy leaned further near the cliff. He looked down eagerly, his face shining with curiosity. His pale skin, mixed colour hair, dark eyes and odd fascination with the bridge between two worlds made him an outcast in the village.

A voice called out. "Lin?!"

The 5 year old boy turned around, a slightly crestfallen look on his face. "I'm here!" He called, nevertheless, not wanting his parents to worry. His father, a tall man, big and bulky, with a stern expression on his face, sighed. "Lin, you cannot always stay at the gate. One day, you'll fall in and where will we be?"

The boy looked down, ashamed. "I just wanted to see."

"What?" The father was curious as he joined his son. His son looked up, renewed curiosity in his voice.

"I heard someone say that it is possible to somehow look at the gate, at both worlds!" The father couldn't help but smile at the child's enthusiasm, before dampening it as gently as he could.

"It's impossible."

The child shook his head stubbornly. "No. It can be. Mummy said it." His father wiped his face with his hand, sighing.

"You don't have to believe everything that your mother says."

Lin Chung looked up, his head tilted, dark eyes questioning. "Why?" The father bit his lip, knowing that it would be hard to explain why. Along with inheriting most of her features, he had also inherited his mother's personality and mind. The child practically worshipped his mother.

"Because she can be wrong sometimes. Like I can be."

"But she's always right." He murmured, nearly half to himself.

The father sighed. "It is hard to explain. Now, we have to go home. Your mother has dinner ready." The child's eyes lit up, and he ran into the forest, with the father sighing with an amused snort, before he ran after the boy, shouting at him to wait up.

To try and see both worlds.

AN: Ok, so here's the partner story/backstory that I said for 'Midnight'. Enjoy, and please review! This story plot is very short and sudden, but give me some credit; I wrote all of it in less than an hour. Because I was bored.
