"Esteemed people of Vadronia," his voice resonating,
Priest
"We have received a novel prophecy. It foretells a war that will besiege our clan twenty-five years hence, threatening annihilation. Yet, a glimmer of hope emerges-a girl born upon the snow, adorned with a birthmark resembling the very snow that blesses her. She shall be the clan's salvation, the sacrificial lamb to quell the tempest of war."
A mix of dread and relief washed over the crowd. The priest's words lingered in their minds as they dispersed, carrying both apprehension and optimism.
In the subsequent year, during the month of snow, a girl came into the world within the Twilightsworn family. A birthmark resembling snow graced her neck, a symbol that stirred profound emotions within the family. While the family grappled with the weight of the impending sacrifice, the entire findara rejoiced, celebrating the birth of their potential savior.
However, Eugene, the girl's father, struggled to accept his daughter's fate as a mere pawn. He christened her Eira Twilightsworn, a name denoting 'snow,' a tribute to her unique birthmark.
Growing up in an environment where she was both pitied and revered, Eira initially found herself bewildered. Gradually, the reason behind the special treatment became clear-pity
At the tender age of ten, she tried to escape the overwhelming pressure through a desperate act. Her father, fortunately, intervened, guiding her to mask her emotions and appear unbreakable in the eyes of others.
Thus began her transformation into the "ice beauty," recognized for her consistently composed and distant demeanor.
By the age of fifteen, she sought refuge from prying eyes, constructing her haven amidst the jungle, far from the scrutiny of society. Her father facilitated her escape, providing a serene home and an adjacent magical garden.
