Ah, the city of Townsville- what? This is a Ninjago fic? Well then. This is akward.
(Btw this takes place in what would be the Middle Ages in Ninjago)
All children born at exactly 12:00 A.M. on The Day of The Departed, 1128, were different. They were telepathic, all of them. Most of them died within a few days of birth, due to complications and sicknesses. But a few survived, one of them being a girl named Gullveig Nash, a girl plagued with misfortune and despair.
Two days after her birth, her older brother was killed by a grundle. Two days after that, three of her family's sheep died.
Her father, Ascot Nash, was a superstitious man, as were most people in that village. He was a strong, chivalrous man, too, but he never cared for Gullveig. She wasn't beautiful like her older sisters, and she wasn't a boy. Ascot decided to blame their bad luck on her.
"She's trouble, you know, and it's all she'll ever be." He told his wife, Golda Nash, who would go with anything her husband said.
So, Gullveig didn't have a normal childhood. With her older sisters, the twins Kauanoe and Fay, too busy attracting suitors, and her parents never really caring what she did, Gullveig got into a lot of strange situations. Thus, she learned a lot of skills that females of her time often wouldn't.
And, despite most of her village shunning her, she had a friend. Cadby Fletcher. He was a male, which added to her strangeness in the eyes of others.
They often walked together in the woods, chatting aimlessly about anything. Of course, they couldn't always do this, because Cadby had work, being male. Cadby's family needed all the money they could get.
Cadby's mother, Evelyn, had died in childbirth with his sister. Booker, his father, was a drunkard who was rarely home. His younger sister, Alison, was sickly. So, Cadby and his older brother, Brently, had to work. A lot. Despite all that, Cadby had time to practice his true talent- archery. Cadby was the very best archer in their village.
But besides Cadby, no one really liked Gullveig. People were suspicious of her, due to her poorly-hidden power, and they tried their best to stay away from her. The ladies gossiped about her, and how she could control the minds of others. That was not true. Not yet, anyway.
A quick note:
This story may come off as a bit offensive at times, solely because it's set in Medival times. (Ex. Women being lesser then men, some races being higher then others) Obviously, I don't believe that, so please don't flip out on me.
Anyways, enjoy! Sorry this was short! Please review!
Stay gold,
