After my parent's departure, my sister and I were taken in by an elderly farming couple under the condition that we would help tend to their farms.  I  cannot say that I was ever fond of the couple.  Although they were kind to take in two vagrant children, they enslaved us under their contract.  From dusk until dawn my sister and I were to be tending to the farms.  We were each given a single boiled egg to serve as our morning meal and only after the last blazing ray of sun faded into the horizon were we allowed to enter the small cabin in which the couple inhabited to eat a small bowl of soup and lay down on our haystack pile for our evening rest.
   As I was too young to tend to most of the farming matter during my early childhood years, the couple appointed me to feed the livestock.  Never doing exactly as I was told, I would feed the animals for the better part of the day, and during the late afternoon hours when I knew the couple had entered the cabin to eat dinner I would sneak over to the southernmost part of the farm where the sick and "unfit" animals were placed.  Always feeling an uncontrollable need to heal, I practiced little incantations to help sooth the ailments of the suffering animals.  I never knew where I learned these spells, or why I always felt a need to heal, but every day I would continue to help the sick animals as if it were my duty in life.
   Yuri's past by quickly and the endless hours of hard work had finally taken a toll on my sister.  Rapidly my sister became worse, shivering in the sunlight and sweating in the evening.  We decided at last that it was time to leave the farm and search for a place where my sister could heal.  We traveled many days and nights in search of a new home while my sister's condition continuously grew worse, until we happened upon a new kingdom, Koguryo.  I had heard stories about this kingdom's beauty, but never did I expect to see such exquisiteness which lay before my eyes.  We knew at once that they was going to be our new home and we immediately began searching for a healer to aid to my sister.
   Finally after speaking with many townspeople and happening upon many places within the kingdom, we came across a small hut right next to the eastern most gate in Kugnae.  We cautiously walked in, my sister lending her weight onto my shoulders, and saw an old woman standing in the far corner of the room.  My sister looked at me, and as if struggling to speak at all slowly unlatched herself from my shoulder, faced the woman and precariously asked for help.  The woman's face began to brighten as if she had been waiting for us to arrive and said, "Yes, I can help you".  Quickly, the woman turned her gaze from my sister's pale face to mine.  She widened her eyes, slowly opened her mouth just wide enough to speak and said, "Leave your sister me with me".  Knowing that this was probably our only hope for my sister's survival, I looked over to my sister who bowed her head slightly at me as if trying to say,  "Everything will be ok".

  That was the last time I ever saw my sister.  I returned to the old woman's house the next morning and was told that my sister had disappeared during the night.  The old woman explained that she had gone into the wilderness to collect some herbs and when she had returned my sister was gone  I don't think I ever truly believed the woman's story, but I suppose being so young and hopeful at the time it was nice to believe that one day I would maybe find my sister again.
Knowing that I was too young and too weak to go searching for my sister, I decided to search the kingdom for a place in which I could call home.  Very quickly I found my home in the Sun Moon Sect.  They accepted me with open arms and very quickly I finally felt that I had found the place where I was meant to spend the rest of my life.  Soon after joining SunMoon I met my best friend and companion for life, Muckish.  It felt like I had known him my entire life, yet we had only known each other for a short period of time.  Quickly we married and I proudly became part of the best family tree in all of the lands, the Xing-Normad'Or family.  Muckish told me many stories about his family, especially stories about Lady Leodaris who he looked up to very much, and  right away I knew I was a part of something great.
   Suddenly, all the pieces of my life started fitting together; I had a husband, an amazing family and a place to call home, but for some reason I still felt something missing in my life.  That urge to heal that I had had as a child began take over all of my conscious thoughts, and soon it was all I could think about.  I needed to heal, and still I did not know why.  I once again began another search, but this time my search was for an answer to a question that had been plaguing me my whole life.  With my husband's encouragement and many nights of long talks, I finally realized I knew the person I needed to talk to, and although every inch of my body never wanted to see this woman again, I headed to the small hut at the eastern most gate in Kugnae.  I cautiously entered the door to the hut, and again as if the woman had been waiting for me she announced "It is the Shaman you seek.  Find them, and you will find yourself".
   Finally after a long struggle of finding myself, my Dohsa Songha showed me my way home.  In Hyul 16, I entered the Shaman circle for the first time and finally I felt complete.  I had my Shaman family, my Xing-Normad'Or family and my clan.  My life had finally fallen in place and I could for the first time in my life say I was truly happy.
