It was a cool spring morning in the year 1607.
A tall-masted ship prepared to sail from London to a faraway place in the New World called Virginia.
A handsome adventurer who had made many journeys to distant lands jumped on a cannon as it was hoisted aboard ship.
"That's Jungkook Jeon!" said one of the settlers. "If you're going to fight Indians, you can't do it without Jungkook Jeon."
Across the sea in Virginia, a spirited young Indian man named Yoongi had no idea that an English ship crossing the ocean would soon change he life forever. He only knew that his friend Jimin was calling to him and his constant companions, Namjoon the raccoon and Jin the hummingbird, from below the waterfall.
"Yoongi, come back to the village!" cried Jimin. "Your brother has returned."
Yoongi met his brother, Chief Taehyung in their longhouse. Taehyung told him that Kocoum, the bravest of his young warriors, had asked for his hand in marriage.
Then the chief gave his brother their mother's wedding necklace. "Kocoum will be a fine husband," said Taehyung.
Yoongi did not want to marry Kocoum. He never laughed or smiled. Unsure of what his path in life should be, Yoongi went to the enchanted glade to visit his beloved Grandmother Willow, the wise tree spirit.
"Remember the dream you had about a spinning arrow," said Grandmother Willow. "It points to your path. If you listen with your heart, you will understand."
Soon afterward the English ship reached the shores of Virginia and sailed inland up a wide river.
"Governor Ratcliffe, this is the place to anchor," said Jungkook Jeon to the expedition's gold-hungry leader.
Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jin watched from the forest as the strange pale men hauled the ship toward shore. Yoongi couldn't believe his eyes.
Sensing danger, Jin buzzed nervously.
Later that day Taehyung called a meeting of the council. The chief asked Kocoum to take a band of braves and observe the pale invaders.
Governor Ratcliffe quickly claimed the land and its riches for England.
As some of the settlers began to clear the forest, Kocoum and the braves kept watch.
Other settlers dug for gold. The greedy governor was sure the New World would make him rich!
Meanwhile Jungkook was sent into the forest to look for Indians. The first one he met was a beautiful young man. He started to flee, but he urged him to stay.
Yoongi liked the handsome stranger, but he was not sure what he was saying. Then he remembered what Grandmother Willow had said. If he listened with his heart, he would understand.
By now the settlers had spotted the Indians in the forest.
"It's an ambush!" screamed Ratcliffe. "Arm yourselves!" Shots rang out and an Indian was wounded. Before the day ended, Taehyung sent for warriors from other villages.
Jungkook wasn't with the settlers when the fighting broke out. He was with Yoongi. As they talked, Namjoon suddenly ran off with Jungkook's compass.
"What is that?" asked Yoongi.
"that's a compass," said Jungkook. "It helps you find your way when you are lost. I'll get another one in London."
Then Jungkook told Yoongi about London's paved streets and grand buildings. "There is much we can teach you," he said. "We can help improve your life."
Suddenly Yoongi realized how little Jungkook knew about his world. He told him that every rock and tree and creature had a life, a spirit. Jungkook began to understand.
Meanwhile Governor Ratcliffe had decided that the Indians had dug up all the gold. It was time to take it away from them. Ratcliffe knew he would need Jeon's help and went to look for him, but Jungkook was nowhere to be found.
Jungkook was back in the forest, explaining to Yoongi why the English had sailed to the New World. "We came to search for gold," he said, showing Yoongi a coin.
"Gold?" said Yoongi. "We have nothing like that here."
Back at the settlement, Jungkook found out that the governor was planning to go to war for the gold.
"But there is no gold!" Jungkook protested. "The Indians don't even know what gold is."
Governor Ratcliffe refused to believe Jungkook. There had to be gold and Ratcliffe would fight for it.
That night Yoongi and Jungkook met in the forest glade again. They didn't know that they both had been followed.
When the two kissed, Kocoum leaped out from behind a tree and attacked Jungkook. Hoseok, the settler who had followed Jungkook, took aim at Kocoum.
The gun thundered as Yoongi tried to stop Kocoum, and the warrior fell.
"Hoseok, get out of here!" Jungkook shouted, hearing war cries in the forest. Hoseok ran for his life.
Indian warriors swarmed into the glade, gathered up the body of Kocoum, and mistakenly accused Jungkook. Later, Taehyung said Jungkook would die at dawn.
Brokenhearted, Yoongi fled to Grandmother Willow. Suddenly Namjoon appeared with Jungkook's compass. Yoongi stared at the needle and realized it was the spinning arrow of his dream. He knew what he must do.
As the sun rose, Yoongi rushed to the place where the warriors had taken Jungkook. The armed settlers were hurrying there, too, ready for war.
Yoongi reached Jungkook just in time. Confessing his love for Jungkook, he asked his brother to spare him. Then Yoongi urged his brother to see where the path of hatred had led them.
Moved by his brother's words, Taehyung released the prisoner and made a vow to keep peace.
But angry Governor Ratcliffe did not want peace. He wanted gold. Then the enraged man fired at Taehyung. Jungkook tried to protect the chief and was hit by the bullet instead.
In the end there was no war. Ratcliffe was sent back to England in chains. The wounded Jungkook had to go, too. But Yoongi stayed behind to continue as peacemaker.
As they parted, Yoongi told Jungkook, "No matter what happens, I will always be with you. Forever." And in his heart, he always was.
