🔷 Introduction

Welcome to a brand new story!

We will learn of the incredible life of Seondeok and how she came to be as powerful as she is in Norheim.

But her adventure isn’t all smooth sailing, and many challenges within herself must be overcome before she is the grand hero we have come to know and love. 

🔷 Part 1: “Burning Accuracy”

In the heart of the lush, verdant hills of the village of Tohil, a remarkable story began with a child of extraordinary talent and even greater shyness. Her name was Seondeok, and from a tender age, she displayed a gift that would become the stuff of legend.

As a young girl, Seondeok's accuracy with a bow was nothing short of miraculous. Her father, an accomplished archer himself, would often watch in awe as his daughter, barely old enough to lift a full-sized bow, hit targets with the precision of a master. The villagers whispered tales of the child who could split arrows mid-flight and never missed a mark.

Seondeok’s shyness was as profound as her talent. She spoke little and avoided the spotlight, preferring to let her actions speak for themselves. Her gentle nature and the extraordinary feats she accomplished made her a beloved figure, though she remained mostly in the background, observing rather than participating.

As the years passed, Seondeok grew into a graceful young woman, and her reputation as the village's finest archer spread far and wide. Each year, the village of Tohil celebrated the Harvest Festival, a vibrant event filled with music, dance, and games. But the highlight of the festival was always the archery competition, where villagers and visitors alike gathered to witness the display of skill and precision.

Seondeok entered the competition for the first time as a young woman, and her entry was met with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The other competitors, though skilled, were no match for her prodigious talent. Yet, despite her abilities, Seondeok remained deeply anxious about the attention and pressure.

The festival was in full swing, and the archery range was a hive of activity. The target was set at a considerable distance, and the crowd’s anticipation hung heavy in the air. Seondeok took her place among the competitors, her heart pounding in her chest. Her hands, though steady, betrayed a hint of tremor as she nocked her first arrow.

The competition progressed smoothly, with Seondeok consistently hitting the bullseye. Each shot was met with gasps of admiration and applause from the crowd. Her final round approached, and the stakes were higher than ever. The target was set at an almost impossible distance, and every archer knew that it would take a near-perfect shot to claim victory.

Seondeok’s turn arrived. The eyes of the entire village were upon her, and she could feel their collective gaze weighing heavily on her. She took a deep breath, her fingers brushing the smooth wood of her bow. With a practiced pull, she released her arrow.

The arrow soared through the air, cutting a precise path toward the target. As it reached the center, a burst of intense flame erupted from the shaft, creating a fiery trail behind it. The arrow struck the target with such force that the wood splintered and ignited, burning brightly as it crumbled to the ground.

The crowd erupted into cheers, but the flames quickly spread, catching the attention of the village elders. They looked on with a mix of awe and alarm, for magic was forbidden in Tohil—a law rooted in ancient traditions and fears.

Seondeok, eyes wide with horror, realized what her unintentional magic had wrought. The forbidden nature of her powers had been exposed. She could feel the weight of her father’s teachings and the village’s strict rules bearing down on her. Desperation surged within her. She had always feared the consequences of her gift, but now it was glaringly clear.

Without waiting for the official reactions or the judgment of the elders, Seondeok fled the scene. She ran through the crowded festival, her heart racing as she pushed past people and obstacles. Her mind was a whirlwind of shame and regret.

As she reached the edge of the village, she glanced back one last time. The flames were now being contained by the elders and the other villagers, their expressions a mix of confusion and concern. Seondeok felt a pang of sorrow for the disruption she had caused but knew that there was no turning back.

In the solitude of the forest beyond Tohil, Seondeok found a secluded place where she could hide and reflect. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting a serene glow over the clearing. Seondeok’s heartache was profound, but amidst the sorrow, she resolved to find a new path for herself—a path where her talents could be embraced rather than feared.
