Chapter 1: The beggining

On a peaceful night a young man is wandering on a vast forest when a ball of light suddenly falls near his vicinity which created a small crater.

The young man walked cautiously towards where the ball of light fell. To his surprise he found a young maiden wearing an unknown clothing unconscious at the center of the crater.

Miss! Miss! the young man shouted with concern, but the maiden hasn't woken up.

"Young master! Where are you?!"

--------

"Young master, here you are." a relieved statement from a servant.

"Young mast.....e...r..rrrrr." (sees an unconscious maiden near him)

The young man and the the servant's eye met each other. Then young man then look over to where the servant is looking.

"Its not like that" the young man said. Snapping out the servant.

"like what, young master" The servant replied with a smile.

"The one you're thinking of right now, that one"

"But young master, I am not thinking of anything right now, may I perhaps know what's on your mind young master?" the servant lied.

"uh...uh...uh.. i-if your not then i-its okay. Anyways, what brought you here??

"young master, your father has arrived from hunting and is requesting for your presence."

"I'll be there, furthermore can you prepare a room for her."

"As you wish." the servant replied.

the young man then carried the maiden and went home.

-----------------------------------------

"Father, you have called for me?"

"Yes, yes. I did. I called you here to remind you that the selection for your bride is near....."

"but father..."

"if you couldn't find someone within a week I'll be the one to pick for you."

"father, I've told you that I don't want to get married I'm still young and there are other things I wanted to do first aside from marrying."

"Your father is already old *fake coughs* and before I die I wanted to see my grandchildren" *fake coughs* "So is your mother" *fake coughs* his parents stated.

"but...." the young man replied

"No buts. One week. I'll give you only one week to find your bride or I will chose one for you."

"father....." The young man frustratedly answered.

"Your dismissed. you may go now"

"tch.. your strong enough to go hunting so who's dying now?.." the young man mumbled as he walk down the corridor.

-----------------------------------------

"So is there someone he has his eyes onto these days?" The chief asked.

"Yes, chief. He recently have been visiting the village of flowers where it is known to have the most beautiful women."

"I know, I know, you don't need to tell me that for his mother is also from that village. *smirks* He really is my son. hahahahaha.

"ah. He also brought a girl home just this night."

"oooooohhhhh. That's even nicer. So where is this girl you are talking about?"

"at a room near the young master's chamber, chief"

The chief continues to laugh excitedly.

-----------------------------------------

The young man visited the maiden's room for a while to check the maiden's condition.

"Now that I can see you in brighter place. I didn't realise such a beautiful woman could exist" mesmerized by the maiden's beauty.

He then left the room where the maiden is sleeping.

-----------------------------------------

As the sun rises in the morning the maiden now has woken up.

The maiden slowly opened her eyes and look around.

"miss do you hear me?"

"Call the young master" The physician ordered.

"Where am I?"

The maiden covers here mouth in shock.

maiden's mind: Wait, This isn't my language. What language is this? How am I able to speak such language?

The maiden's mind was too preoccupied that she didn't hear what the physician is saying.

"....miss?? miss??" The physician asked

"h-huh? What were you saying again?

"Do you feel alright?"

"oh yes yes. (awkwardly laughs) By the way who are you?

"I am fumi and I am the assistant of the village physician."

"Fumi, where is this place?"

"huh? but I just told you a while ago."

"oh, sorry, but could you repeat it again"

"yes miss, we are here in quarters of the tiger village chief's son."

-----------------------------------------

At the archery training ground

"young master!!! young master!!!"

The servant was stopped by some swordsmen. However, the young master raised his hand to signal them to allow the servant to pass.

"So what is this rush all about?"

The young man is preparing to hit the target when..

"The lady has now woken up."

The young man hands slipped from the arrow causing the arrow to fly shooting the bullseye.

The servant was amazed by the young master's skills.

"This would be the end of my training."

The young master then left the training ground with his servants and went to where the unknown maiden is.

-----------------------------------------

Baam!!! The sliding door opens.

The maiden was shocked by the young man's actions.

"Young Master" The physician bow in respect.

"How is she?" The young man asked

"She is doing fine young master" the physician replied

"You may now all leave the room."

"as you wish young master"

The young man's servants and the physician left the room.

"Miss, if you allow, may I know your name?" The young man asked but the maiden seems to be wary of the young man so she doesn't answer.

"uh. uh. It was rude of me to ask you of your name without introducing myself. My name is Yoon of Tiger tribe the chief village's heir. Nice to meet you."

"A-a-Aria"

"So A-a-Aria, where did you come from? I am pretty sure that you are not from this country basing on your type of clothing.

"It's Aria! not A-a-Aria, you know."

"But you just said A-a-Aria and not Aria, though"

"I just stuttered a bit you know!" *embarrassed*

"hahahaha.Relax. Its just a joke since you seem quite tensioned.

"Tch." The embarrassed Aria though relaxed a bit due to the actions of Yoon she still is wary of him.

"So where are you from Aria?" Yoon asked.

Aria suddenly run outside the balcony then pointed towards the sky. Yoon followed her out and looked to where she is pointing her fingers to.

"where?"

"There"

Yoon patted Aria's head and laughs

Yoon's mind: She might have been hurt badly that she can't remember.

"Why are you laughing?" Aria annoyingly asked.

"No. Nothing. You can just tell me when you're ready."

"But.. I really am..."

"yes, yes, you are" *Yoon continues to laugh.* "would you like to have a tour outside?"

"c-can I?"

"of course you can, but before that you must change your clothes to avoid suspicions from the villagers."

Aria nodded in agreement.

"Young master, Young master!!!" A servant shouted from the outside.

"Come in. What is the commotion all about"

"Pardon me young master for my intrusion but Young master Won of the wolf clan has arrived and is causing a commotion within the village."

"seems like I wouldn't be able to show you around this time. I'll just show you around next time." Yoon smiles in assurance.

"Its okay." Though Aria seems disappointed a bit.

"Gin (Yoon's trusted aid) take her to the tailor's shop and tell them to dress her with the finest clothes they have."

"As you wish, young master. Follow me then miss"

"hm."

The young miss followed Gin and they went to the tailors shop.

They were walking when suddenly gin's aura turned black.

"miss, wherever you are from and whatever you need to do here, I don't care but if danger is what you brought here then I will kill you with both my hands, specially if you hurt the young master.... Here we are miss the tailors shop."

"hm."

Despite threatened by Gin, Aria didn't flinch a bit and just acted naturally.

"How may I help you?" asked the worker from the tailor's shop.

"Dress her with the finest clothes you have."

"Yes master. Miss, would you please follow me."

Hours passed and the tailors are now finished dressing Aria.

"What do you think of her sire?"

Though Gin is wary of Aria, he can't deny the beauty Aria has and is fluttered by her.

"W-well, its good enough."

"Your lover must have been amused by your beauty that he's even stuttering." *the tailor laughs a bit*

"h-he-he's not my lover" embarrassed Aria

"Here's the payment. Let us head back miss."

"Please do come again."

-----------------------------------------

As Aria and Gin are now heading back to the village chiefs house when they spotted Yoon and the Wolf clan's heir Won having an argument.

"Who is that man having argument with Yoon?"

"Its the young master of the wolf clan village, Won. They were such a good friends back yet..." Gin was angered remembering their history.

"What happened to them?"

Gin looked over to Aria who is behind him fo a bit before turning back.

"You don't have to know and I advise you not get involve within their fight, and let's just head back."

Gin turn's back once again to look over to Aria however, Aria is long been gone.

-----------------------------------------

"Yoon! Yoon!"

After hearing Aria.

Yoon's mind: What is she doing here?

As Aria arrived to where Yoon is and the wolf clan's heir looked at her with lust.

"You've got a beauty there, don't you?"

Yoon stretched out his hand as an act of protecting Aria from Won.

"You better leave my village now before, I kill you."

Won sighs and smile

"For the sake of that beautiful lady, I shall take my leave for now. Till we met again, pretty girl." *winks*

Won left with his companions leaving the angered Yoon.....
