Tania Clarke was the daughter of a typical merchant. Her family wasn’t wealthy, but they weren’t poor either. Surrounded by her father, mother and three sisters, she had an ordinary childhood as a girl in a peaceful and tranquil rural town.

The only thing about her that was different from the other girls was her admiration for Seekers.

It wasn’t uncommon for adolescent boys to aspire to become Seekers. Be it in rural towns or big cities, the sight of young boys playing at Seekers could be seen everywhere. Most gave up before they became adults, so it was like some form of measles.

On the other hand, it was unusual for girls to aspire to become Seekers. It couldn’t be said that there were no female Seekers, but they fundamentally couldn’t match men in terms of aptitude.
