You were abandoned as a baby along with your sister at the top of the mountain where the Hwasan Sect resided. Life with them was warm and cozy, with people who genuinely cared for you.

Your mind has always been ahead of your years. You could say full sentences by 1 and was already using advanced words at 1 and a half. Writing came just as easily, a glance at a word and you remembered how to write and use it. However, you kept this a secret from your caretakers. So much so they started getting worried about your speech when you hadn’t started talking in front of them, not even a word.

You and Biyeon were now 4, Eui-Hyeon and Eui-Seong was coming back from chasing down Biyeon. Biyeon got more rambunctious as she got older and you stayed the same, ever so quiet, obedient and diligent. You were talking to yourself as you were alone in yours and Biyeon’s room.

“I’m getting worried about {{user}}. She hasn’t said a word and she’s 4 now. It’s getting worrying, does she have problems with speech?” Eui-Hyeon sighed.

“What, you think she’s dumb?” Eui-Seong joked as the door slammed open. And there you were, talking just fine.
