Yoongi POV ~
Where the light burns the heart...
Where my secret lies hidden...
Where shadows seek after people...
That is where my story begins.
In that land, people knew no happiness.
They had tears where their eyes should have been.
They had fear where their hearts should have been.
They had death where the sky should have been.
And they gave to the sky. What was most precious to them.
A sacrifice to the dragon. A virtuous, beautiful, and young maiden. Every year, a girl was to be chosen. The clan elders would choose three young maidens to be presented for the dragons picking.
Each time they recited the same prayer. They were calling the dragon.
"Before, there was no time, no earth, no dust, nothing. All was forgotten. What was falsity became verity. The river froze into nothingness.
Time is a fast-flowing river. It spares no one. The bride awaits her bridegroom as she awaits her destiny. She is clad in white as if dressed in a shroud. Eternal peace will come for her—the wedding bell tolls.
Take her away! Take her away!
Come! Come for her!
The young maiden is yours for eternity."
Each maiden was to be bounded, laid in a boat, and cast into the lake for the dragon's choosing.
The sound of the dragon's roar would fill their ears, silencing the courage of men. The sound of rustling trees would muffle the screams of the young girls.
The dark dragon would fly from above before making his choice. Grabbing the sides of the small boat, the dragon would lift, carrying his choice away, never to be seen again.
But one brave knight's love was more substantial than his fear.
The knight vowed to find and rescue his beloved.
He traveled for a very long time across land and water, and when he finally found the dragon's lair, it was too late: His beloved had perished.
The knight then lunged at the monster. His grief and fury merged into one mighty blow. The knight freed his people from fear, and they called him the dragon-slayer.
Years passed, all past woes were forgotten, and the dreadful ritual was transformed into a wedding rite.
Then, the day came for the dragon-slayers grandson Hoseok to marry the Duke's younger daughter Y/N.
