{Chapter 1-Foresight}
In the olden days of Ossyria, there was not only Orbis, Orbis Tower and ElNath but there was also a small town called Derun Village that was located under the west side of Orbis Tower, while ElNath was and still located under the east side of Orbis Tower. Humans were most likely to be seen at Derun Village while fantasy creatures were mostly seen in Orbis such as fairies, angels and demons. No, not the demons as in stereotypical ones like devil horns and tail but more like a human with animal features.
Somewhere in Derun Village, some group of humans moved into the village. This group of humans was a family. They arrived to Derun Village to work. Why they didn't move into the well-known town, ElNath? Well, Derun Village's weather is stable and constantly warm while ElNath is like the opposite version.
This family were the Sung family. They have a son and a daughter.
Their youngest son was named Taewon while their oldest daughter name was Reina.
Taewon was a talented yet cheerful swordsman and always care about his sister while Reina was quiet yet intelligent girl that wields her bow.
The only odd thing about this family is that Reina was born with part goddess power. Because of that, Taewon constantly worries about his elder sister because people madly wanted her and her powers. Thus that's why Taewon kept training himself and became a swordsman to protect his sister.
Reina was very much aware of her powers and wished that her entire life would be living like a normal person.
Taewon and Reina strolled around Derun Village to buy supplies. The village resembles very much like Korean Folk Town. They saw merchants, customers and lots of fruits. The duo was surprised that there were also blue apples.
"They look delicious!" Taewon said excitedly.
"I'll buy it then. Mother and father might like these." said Reina with a smile.
"You may take these for free." The merchant said.
The sung siblings looked at the merchant. This merchant looked fairly different from the rest of the people in Derun village.
It was a lovely lady in purple. She was wearing fine hanbok and has long purple hair. She smiled as her blue eyes looked at the siblings.
"Really? Is that okay with you?" Reina asked.
"Yes because I've never seen you two before. Therefore, I'm giving you these apples for free. Every people who just recently moved into this village can get free packets of blue apples" said the merchant.
"Thank you so much!" said Taewon as he happily took the apples. Reina simply smiled.
The merchant watched the siblings leave. She smiled and returned back to selling apples.
It was around where the sun set into the hill. The merchant just returned home to her own house.
She was greeted by her guardian, Spiruna.
"How was work, Ossera?" Spiruna asked.
The merchant, Ossera, replied to her guardian.
"It was great! I met two new people in the village."
Ossera was not only a merchant but also the maiden in the village. She was the only magician in the village along with Spiruna. Spiruna was an old woman who can see the future and once was an active magician.
"Is that so?" said Spiruna as she narrowed her eyes. "Who were they?"
"I don't know but they're the siblings. I'm quite happy to see new siblings with such strong bond." Ossera replied as she prepared meals for the old woman.
As Ossera filled the bucket with full of water, she paused for a while and continued talking.
"Odd enough, I sensed something odd from the girl. She had a very strong aura within her."
Spiruna gasped. Ossera heard her and turned to look at her.
"Is there something wrong, Spiruna?" she asked.
"I saw something in the future. It's very near…" Spiruna replied.
Ossera looked at her carefully. She knows that Spiruna was always right. Usually all the predictions set somewhere else away from Ossyria continent.
"What's going to happen?" Ossera curiously asked. Spiruna looked sharply at the maiden.
"You said this girl had a very strong aura within her. Is that true, my dear?"
Ossera simply said yes.
"That child will face something… Something that will be very harsh for her…"
Ossera frowned. Spiruna continued on.
"The young woman with that strong aura will be taken away and will be sent into a Tower of Goddess."
"But that place is patrolled by my friend! He said no one is allowed to go in there!" shouted Ossera.
Spiruna paid no attention to Ossera and continued on.
"Not only is she going in there… other three will be entering in that tower. Only one of them will face death!"
Ossera was speechless and scared. She found courage to ask Spiruna again.
"Who are these other three people? What else is going to happen?"
Spiruna closed her eyes and then looked at the panicking maiden.
"I do not know, darling. All I know that girl with the aura will get taken away to the Tower of Goddess…"
Ossera looked down at the floor as if the floor looked fairly interesting. It was only a timber floor, really. Spiruna sensed Ossera's feelings and comforted her.
"I'm sorry. Did I scare you? Come on, dear. Let's have a warm dinner but I pray to Her Grace that may her light be with those people who are entering the tower…"
Ossera returned back to cooking with many thoughts flowing into her head…
Taewon, Reina and their parents settled completely into their new home. It was environmental and their home was very nice. Taewon and Reina watched the stars shining in the sky while eating the blue apples given by Ossera.
Taewon was excited and planned to look around Ossyria continent while Reina just wanted to relax after long boat ride to Orbis, the town with the main station of the boat ride.
The first day in Derun Village was rather peaceful until a shadow figure stood behind a tree watching the siblings from the distance.
The shadow figure whispered.
"It shall begin at the dawn where the sun rises from the hill."
