A Tale of Xilo Kiklos
Long, long ago, on a stormy night, a cute little owl was born. His name was XiLuo. The first thing XiLuo saw when he opened his eyes was another owl.
"Hello, XiLuo. I’m your brother. You can call me Count," said the owl warmly.
The next day, Count brought Xilo back to Owl Village. Though XiLuo was a boy, deep inside, ... he had the heart of a girl. This made XiLuo very unique in the eyes of the other owls. Luckily, with Count’s protection, Xilo enjoyed a happy and carefree childhood.
But happy times always seem to fly by too quickly. One day, Count suddenly left without explanation, leaving behind only a note:
"XiLuo, if you ever need me, come to the Blood Clan Castle to find me."
Though heartbroken by his brother’s sudden departure, XiLuo decided to try living independently without Count’s protection. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he hoped. XiLuo struggled to live on his own and didn’t know how to deal with the bullying from other owls.
Finally, XiLuo made up his mind to embark on a journey to find his brother. Along the way, XiLuo encountered many people, but none could accept an owl who, despite being male on the outside, had the heart of a girl.
After a long and arduous journey, XiLuo finally arrives at the Blood Clan Castle. However, exhausted from his travels, he collapsed before he could see his brother.
"XiLuo! XiLuo! Wake up! Don’t scare me!"
When XiLuo opened his eyes, he saw his long-lost brother. Overwhelmed, XiLio hugged Count tightly.
"Brother, I missed you so much!"
Count returned the hug warmly.
"XiLuo, this is the Blood Clan Castle. A new master has recently taken over. Would you like to meet them with me?"
"Sure! As long as I’m with you, I’ll go anywhere!"
The two walked through the castle’s long corridors until they arrived at the room where the new master, Karit, lay resting.
"XiLuo, this is our new master, Lord Karit."
As XiLuo gazed at the sleeping master, he couldn’t help but feel anxious about whether the master would accept someone as unique as him. When Lord Karit finally opened his eyes, Count thoughtfully explained everything to him and introduced XiLuo.
At first, the new master finds it difficult to accept that vampires have saved him. But he quickly came to terms with his new role as the master of the Blood Clan Castle.
Lord Karit’s first words to XiLuo were, "And you? What’s your name?"
"I’m XiLuo, Count’s younger brother," XiLuo replied.
"Well then, if you’re Count’s brother, from now on, you shall be XiLuo Kyklos," said Gillis.
With that, she shared her blood with XiLuo, transforming him into a vampire-owl hybrid.
In the following days, XiLuo Kyklos trained under his sister’s guidance to become a proper butler. Meanwhile, through his interactions with Lord Karit, XiLuo began to notice something special about his master. Unlike others, Karit wasn’t bothered by XiLuo’s unique nature. Instead, she reassured XiLuo:
"XiLuo, don’t worry too much. There are already enough things to figure out in life. Just remember, as long as you’re alive, you are the butler of the Blood Clan Castle, my butler. Focus on doing your best in every task!"
And so unfolds the story of XiLuo Kyklos—a vampire-owl hybrid boy with the heart of a girl. This is a tale of identity, acceptance, and belonging in a world that often struggles to understand the extraordinary.Show more
