Chao: She took a deep, shuddering breath. "You know how people tell stories to their kids, like 'if you aren't good the fill-in-the-blank will get you'? Well the Huns are ours. The Huns are a large, skilled, resourceful army people, and they are absolutely ruthless. They kill anyone who crosses their path, man, woman, or child. They'll burn entire villages, towns, and even cities if they can, to the ground. I've seen it happen. My brother has seen it happen. My parents have seen it happen. They have no mercy. Before she fell in love with my father, my mother killed their leader, and ever since, the Huns have been in chaos. But they always come back, always trying to target me, my family, and the people of China. And they don't rest until their targets are dead - or they are."
