It was a normal, cloudy day for the people of Midnight Mountain. The Midnightners had nothing to do except farm, hunt and take care of the young and injured.

Taking care of the injured was nothing more but a struggle to the people. Many people had died from infections from the injuries and sicknesses. The chieftain of the village was only having more stress on himself due to his people begging for help and finding a solution to the injured. The chieftain's wife, had decided to go and find a cure, but never came back. The chieftain, Min-Woo, had suffered from never ending sadness that day.

One day, the chieftain went on a stroll to a mountain near the village, and discovered something he'd never seen before. It was white, and it looked similar to a rose. The glow on this flower was bright, bright as the moon when it was full. The chieftain looked at this flower, and poked it's petals. The petals were soft, like a cloud. He had decided to take this flower home, as a gift to his little girl, who was with the healers, slowly dying in the healers' arms. The chieftain made it to his daughter and gave her the glowing flower. The daughter coughed and coughed, and the chieftain was on verge of years, knowing his precious child would soon pass on in the after life. The young girl then took the flower from her father, still coughing. The healers came in and tried to comfort the lonely chieftain. The daughter then touched one of the glowing petals, and suddenly a glow filled up the entire village, blinding the people and the chieftain. The chieftain looked at his daughter. "Daddy," she said, smiling to her father, "I don't feel sick anymore!" Those words shocked the healers and the chieftain. The people of the village came towards the healing building and saw the flower. "How? How is this possible?" The chieftain asked. The people were mumbling the same question. "The flower saved me!" The little girl replied. The healers turned towards each other. We found the cure, the chieftain thought, I and the future chieftains can save our people with this flower. The chieftain gently grabbed the flower from his daughter's hands. "We have found the cure for injuries and sicknesses!" The chieftain exclaimed. The people cheered for this new cure. "We're going to call this cure Soul Flower!"
