Grace Orion, in one world she was considered dead when she disappeared on the exact same day that strange cards mysteriously fell from the sky.
However what if the cards didn't fall from the sky? What if she had actually died that day? What would ha...
An arrow is seen hitting the dead bullseye of a target in the middle of a field as the surrounding crowd erupted in applause as a black haired boy smirked upon seeing the bullseye; believing that he had won the competition.
"And that bullseye essentially seals it folks!"The commentator announced over their microphone "After Regan Erebus's excellent three shots; Raiden High leads against Murakama High by 29 Points! It's going to take a miracle for Murakama to win this with their final archer; but given her heritage it may all be still to play for!"
Within the waiting tent for Murakama High, a girl, no older than 16 lets out a sigh of anticipation as she sat and waited for her name to be called for the final three shots of the inter-school archery event.

Grace Orion
The Main Character of our story and best Archer at Murakama High
"Twenty-Nine points huh...?" She muttered to herself, understanding the herculean task that lay before her. The format of the tournament meant that each archer got 3 shots - with the target being roughly 70 meters away and the 10-Ring; which Grace would have to hit with all three of her shots to win; having a diameter of 12.2cm
"If anyone could bring it back, it is you Grace." The principal of Murakama High, Reinara Matiaba noted "But don't feel any pressure, really, if this doesn't work then we'll find another way to keep the school funded."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Principal." Grace joked with a small smile "But don't worry, I'll win this. After all. . .I've got people out there rooting for me as well."
"Ah, yes. Your Mom and Little Brother are watching; aren't they?" Reinara recalled "You know, Michael only enjoys the school so much because you're around, don't you?"
"Either way, Murakama has been great for the both of us." Grace reminded Reinara "It's the least I can do."
"And now, for the final contestant of the tournament! The daughter of the world's greatest archer Elysia Orion! It's Grace Orion!"
Cheers erupted from outside as Grace was called up; however Grace had a slight scowl at the fact that she was being compared to her mother. It wasn't Elysia's fault of course; she was a brilliant mother who gave Grace the independence that she wanted and helped her every step of the way; however other people just saw her as that. Elysia's daughter. And it did make her ever so slightly bitter.
As Grace grabbed her bow and headed out, the cheers only grew louder as she looked around and waved at the gathered crowd; noticing a ginger haired boy around the age of 10 along with a certain pink haired woman both waving flags with the Murakama Logo on them.
