Grandma started talking about the witch that was in the neighborhood. She started by saying that the missing kids in the neighborhood was a sign of things to come. She began by listing the spiritual characteristics of how the kids went missing and how whatever was responsible for taking the kids was something that had 'passed through the veil.'
Grandma then told the kids how long, long ago, in a mountain in China, before man and humans inhabited the earth, there were another type of human, who was much more larger and more important that a simple man and woman. Specifically, there was one whom decided that he wanted children. So he made four children that were in his image.
There was no way to translate the specific names from Chinese to English, so Ling An did what he could, Grandma pausing every now and then to allow him to keep up with the translation.
