In the heart of a young boy named Arson sat quietly in the shadow of a towering oak tree. His eyes, a stormy mix of greens and blues, scanned the horizon with a solemn curiosity that seemed out of place on his sun-kissed face. His shaggy, orange hair was a wild mess, sticking out in every direction as if it had a mind of its own. At only eight years old, Arson had seen more than his fair share of hardships. His mother's cruel hand had left bruises on his body and his siblings' spiteful taunts had etched scars on his soul. But today, something was different. Today, he had made a decision that would change his life forever. Clutching a small, worn-out backpack to his chest, Arson took a deep breath and stepped away from the comfort of the tree. His heart pounded like a drum in his chest as he ventured further into the unknown. He had heard whispers of a magical place called the Kika Mountains, a place where no one could find him, a place where he could finally be free. His sneakers crunched the gravel beneath him as he walked, each step carrying him closer to a new beginning. The journey was long and arduous, but Arson's determination never wavered. He climbed over rocks, navigated through thickets of thorny bushes, and braved the biting chill of the night. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the silhouette of the mountains emerged before him, their jagged peaks piercing the sky like the teeth of a slumbering giant. Exhausted but hopeful, he trudged on, his eyes never leaving the looming figure that represented his escape from a life of pain. The cave was unassuming, tucked away in a quiet corner of the mountain range. It was here that Arson stumbled upon the two boys, no more than two years of age. They were unlike any children he had ever seen, with porcelain skin and eyes like magenta embers. Their blue hair was matted and their clothing was torn, but they were alive, and their eyes gleamed with a hint of the same resilience that burned within Arson's heart. He knew he couldn't leave them there, alone and defenseless. With trembling hands, he picked up the smaller of the two and cradled him to his chest, whispering comforting words as he inspected the cave for signs of shelter. The twins, Kaito and Feia, clung to Arson as if he were their lifeline. And in that moment, he realized that perhaps he had found his purpose. He had run from fear, but in the arms of these two innocent souls, he discovered the warmth of compassion and the weight of responsibility. With no idea how he would care for them or where they would go, Arson made a silent vow to protect them, to be the family they never had. Little did he know, this chance encounter would lead him down a path that intertwined with the fate of an entire kingdom and the love of a lifetime.

As the trio ventured through the untamed wilderness of the Kika Mountains, they grew closer, forming a makeshift family. The twins were mischievous and curious, their laughter echoing through the caverns and valleys like a melody that brought warmth to Arson's cold world. The days turned into weeks, and the seasons changed, painting the landscape in a tapestry of colors that reflected the burgeoning bond between the three. They learned to survive together, hunting and foraging, sharing tales and laughter around a crackling campfire. One fateful day, as they stumbled through a dense thicket, they encountered a young boy who looked as lost as they felt. His dark hair and regal demeanor were stark contrasts to their ragged appearances. The boy, with a hint of shyness in his emerald eyes, introduced himself as Iziya Avila. Arson's heart skipped a beat as he realized the significance of the name - the Prince of Wistalla, a kingdom hidden deep within the mountains. Iziya had been separated from his entourage while exploring, and his gentle kindness immediately put Arson at ease. The prince took one look at the twins and knew they needed help, and without hesitation, he offered to guide them back to the kingdom.

The journey back to Wistalla was fraught with challenges, but with Iziya's guidance and protection, they arrived safely. The castle's grandeur took Arson's breath away, its gleaming spires and banners fluttering proudly in the breeze. The people of Wistalla welcomed them with open arms, their hearts touched by the trio's tale of survival and friendship. Iziya's parents, the king, and queen, were overjoyed to see their son and heir unharmed, and they couldn't help but be moved by the bravery of this young stranger who had cared for two lost children. As the years rolled by, Arson and Iziya grew inseparable, their friendship blossoming into a love that was as fierce as the flames that once threatened to consume Arson's world. The prince's kindness and wisdom became a beacon in Arson's life, guiding him through the tumultuous seas of adolescence and leading him to become the man he was meant to be. At the tender age of sixteen, as the kingdom celebrated their union, Iziya and Arson exchanged vows before a gathering of friends and family. The twins, now four years older and dressed in the finest silks, watched with wide eyes as their makeshift father and their prince became one. Their hearts swelled with joy and love, knowing that they had found a home where they truly belonged. With the blessing of the king and queen, Arson adopted Kaito and Feia, formally welcoming them into the Avila family. As they stood together, hand in hand, they knew that the harshness of their pasts had led them to this moment, a moment of rebirth and the promise of a future filled with hope and happiness.

Five-year-old Kensei Aikawa squinted under the blazing sun, his small hands clutching a wooden bucket as he stumbled through the dense foliage. The jungle was a wild playground, full of mysteries and dangers that called to his adventurous spirit. He was on a mission, one that his foster mother, Flo had given him that morning —to gather water from the nearby lake. It was a simple task, one that he'd done countless times before, but today was different. It was the moment when he and a boy named Kazuki Takahashi fell in love. Today, the air had anticipation, as if the very trees held their breath, waiting for something to unfold. Vence Aikawa, Kensei's twin brother, watched as his sibling disappeared into the green sea. He had been warned to stay close, but curiosity had always been his undoing. The jungle whispered secrets to him, secrets that seemed to hide just beyond his reach. He decided to explore the path that led to the ancient ruins, a place that their foster mother had always forbidden them to go. It was cooler there, and he had heard the distant rumble of something that sounded like laughter. It was probably just the wind playing tricks, but the idea of finding something new, something exciting, was too tempting to resist.Meanwhile, Price Reid took shelter from the sudden downpour in the hollow of a giant tree. The rain pattered against the leaves overhead, creating a soothing rhythm that soon had Price dozing off.  Just as he was about to lay down for the night, he heard a rustle, followed by a thump. A figure, soaked to the bone, stumbled into their makeshift camp. He was about his age, with a mischievous grin that made Price's heart flutter. He introduced himself as Mason Vasquez, and despite his rough demeanor, there was something undeniably charming about him. Gypsy Aimine was more adept at navigating the jungle than his brother. He moved with a grace that belied his age, his eyes sharp and alert. As he searched for food, he found himself drawn to a peculiar scent that grew stronger with every step. It was faintly sweet, like the blooming flowers he had smelled earlier, but with an underlying metallic tang that was utterly foreign. Following his nose, he stumbled upon a clearing where he saw a boy with a bow, his eyes focused intently on something in the distance. It was Rintaro Mizawa, and the moment their eyes met, Gypsy felt a connection that was as sudden as it was profound. The twins' lives were about to become intertwined in a way that none of them could have ever predicted.  In this vast, untamed landscape, eleven children found themselves alone and vulnerable, each drawn to the others by fate's invisible threads. As they grew and learned, love would bloom in the most unexpected places, and their hearts would be tested by the trials that awaited them. But for now, they were just kids, lost in the jungle, and the world was a canvas of unexplored possibilities.

Levi Reid, driven by the same spirit of adventure that had propelled his brother Price, wandered further into the jungle, the rain had long ago ceased to fall. He was tired and hungry, but the thought of returning to their camp without food kept him pushing forward. The sun was setting, painting the sky in a tapestry of reds and oranges that reflected off the leaves and cast a warm glow on the jungle floor. It was then that he saw it, a glint of something shiny in the underbrush. He approached cautiously, not knowing what creature might be hiding there. To his astonishment, he discovered it was not a creature at all, but a small, intricately carved stone, almost hidden by the vines that had grown around it. It was unlike anything he had ever seen, and something about it made him feel as if he had found a piece of himself that he never knew was missing. The stone led him down a path that grew increasingly well-trodden, and soon, the trees parted to reveal the gleaming spires of the Kingdom of Wistalla. The sight was so surreal, so out of place in the wild jungle, that Levi could hardly believe his eyes. As he stepped into the clearing, a figure emerged from the shadows. Tall, with hair as white as the setting snow in Winter, the young man was dressed in clothes that were clearly not of this land. He introduced himself as Cameron Avila, the eldest prince of Wistalla, and his smile was warm and welcoming despite the strangeness of the encounter. Levi felt a spark of attraction that was as sudden as it was undeniable. He stuttered out his name and explained his situation, his words tumbling over each other in his hurry to be understood. Cameron's eyes filled with empathy, and he promised to help the lost twin find his sisters. Together, they ventured into the heart of the kingdom, where they met Arson Salinas, a mischievous young man with a penchant for causing trouble and an unrivaled knowledge of the jungle's secrets. He was heartbroken to hear the story of Arson and the twins he found from Cameron's brother Iziya. The six of them formed a bond that grew stronger with every shared laugh and whispered confidence. As they searched for the others, Levi found himself looking forward to each day with newfound excitement, eager to see what adventures lay ahead and to spend more time with the enigmatic prince who had captured his heart. Back at the tree, Rice's eyes grew wide with wonder as he took in the sight of Mason Vasquez. He was unlike any boy he had ever met—wild, free, and utterly captivating. Despite his initial wariness, she couldn't help but be drawn to him, and he found herself smiling in response to his jokes and easy charm. They talked for hours, sharing stories of their lives and their families. Mason spoke of his best friends Kenta and Challa with a fierce love that was both endearing and intimidating. It was clear that he would do anything to protect them, and Price felt a slight pang of jealousy for the bond they shared, but it disappeared when Mason declared his love for only Price. Lani Aimine stepped into the dense forest, the crunch of dry leaves underfoot the only sound to keep her company. The early morning chill had not yet lifted, and the dew glistened on the blades of grass like a scattering of diamonds. His eyes darted from one tree to the next, scanning for any signs of movement. The need for food was ever-present, and today she had been tasked with ensuring the village's stores remained plentiful. His bow was strung tight, an arrow notched and ready to fly. Each breath he took was a silent prayer to the gods of the hunt. He knew the forest like the back of her hand, but she also knew that the forest was a fickle place. It could offer a feast or a fright in the blink of an eye. The light danced through the canopy, casting dappled shadows across the ground. Suddenly, he heard it—the faint rustle of underbrush to his left. Lani's heart quickened, and he moved with the grace of a panther, his feet barely touching the earth. He paused, his gaze narrowing as she tried to pinpoint the source of the sound. The leaves parted, and he caught a glimpse of a figure emerging from the shadows. The figure was tall and lean, with piercing eyes that seemed to see straight through him. For a moment, he felt a shiver of fear, but as he stepped into the clearing, he realized that he was human. And not just any human—he was a young man, with the same sharp features as Kazuki who was Kensei's boyfriend, the boy they had met at the river a year ago. But this wasn't Kazuki. This was his twin brother, Makauru, and she had never seen him this close before. Their eyes met, and Lani felt something stir within her that he couldn't quite place. It wasn't fear; it was more like curiosity mixed with a hint of excitement. Makauru raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on her bow and the way she held it so confidently. Then, with a smirk, he held out a handful of berries. "Looks like you could use these," he said, his voice a low purr that sent another shiver down her spine. "I've got plenty more if you're willing to share your secrets." 

Lani took the berries, his hand brushing against his in a way that seemed to spark a charge between them. He knew she had to be careful—Makauru had a reputation in the village. He was a rogue, a trickster, and a bit of a loner. But as he looked into his eyes, he saw something else—a flicker of kindness, perhaps, or maybe just mischief. Either way, he was intrigued. The two of them talked as they moved through the forest, sharing stories of their respective hunts and the challenges they faced. Lani found himself drawn to Makauru's tales of adventure and his unyielding spirit. He spoke of his brother with affection, but there was also a hint of rivalry in his voice that made him smile. As the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting golden rays through the trees, Lani began to realize that he had spent far longer with Makauru than he had intended. The berries had been more than enough to satisfy her hunger, but she hadn't gathered nearly enough food for the village. With a sigh, she thanked him for his company and the berries. "I should get back," he said, turning to leave. Makauru's hand shot out, gently grabbing Lani's arm. "Wait," he said, his eyes searching hers. 

"You're not like the others. You have the heart of a warrior. Stay with me, and I'll show you things you've never seen." Lani felt a tug deep within her chest. Part of him wanted to stay, to explore the forest with him and see where their newfound friendship might lead. But another part, the responsible part, knew he had duties to fulfill. 

"Maybe another time," he said, his voice a whisper of hope.

Makauru's smile was knowing, and he nodded. "Another time, then." With that, Lani turned and disappeared into the foliage, his thoughts racing with the possibilities of what lay ahead. Little did he know, his encounter with Makauru was just the beginning of a tangled web of love and lust. The sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows across the forest floor. Gypsy Aimine, a skilled hunter known for his sharp instincts, moved silently through the underbrush. His eyes darted from tree to tree, searching for the elusive creature that had evaded her all afternoon. A sudden rustle of leaves to his right made him pause. Gypsy raised his bow staff, an arrow attached to it and ready to fly. He was used to the solitude of the hunt, the quiet dance between predator and prey. But today was different. The rustle grew louder, more deliberate, and from the shadows emerged a figure she hadn't expected. Tall and lean, with hair that shimmered in the fading light, it was Rintaro, Chancy's twin sister. Gypsy had heard the whispers about Rintaro, about the secret she kept so well hidden. Yet, there was something about the way she moved, something almost predatory that intrigued Gypsy. Rintaro's eyes met his, and for a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath."You're not supposed to be here," Gypsy murmured, her voice low and steady. "The woods are dangerous."Rintaro smirked, a flash of white in the gathering dusk. "Dangerous for who?" she challenged, a hint of a growl in her voice. Gypsy felt a peculiar tug in her chest. It was the kind of challenge she hadn't faced in a long time. They stood there, the tension thickening like the twilight around them. Gypsy's hand tightened around her bow, her pulse quickening. This was no ordinary encounter. And she had the feeling that her life was about to change in ways she could never have imagined.
