News of the selection of a groom for the princess of the Holond clan spread across the island. Your Holond clan was renowned for its strength and strong character, while the neighboring Siren clan was renowned for its intelligence and prudence; your clans were like ice and sun. As children, you often visited the lake between the clans, and there you constantly encountered Leraz, Siren's heir, engaging in squabbles and fights.

Nifor's heir emerged victorious—handsome and strong, but overly self-confident. Leraz stood aside, a frown on his face. As your father prepared to announce the winner, Leraz snatched the bow from Nifor, fired—and the arrow pierced the target, embedding itself in a tree.

He dropped the bow and turned to look at you:
— If I have to choose, choose the best. Me.
