[Todaya: Goddess of Seasons_Episode 04]
As Todaya journeyed onward, she chanced upon a group of young women weeping beside a well at a fork in the road. Ever the inquisitive and compassionate soul, she approached them to ask about the cause of their distress.
“We are the maidens of heaven,” the women replied, their voices choked with tears. “We are being punished for our neglect of duty, having failed to fetch water for the Heavenly Palace. In order to return to our celestial home, we must empty this well of all its water. But our wooden bucket has a gaping hole, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot scoop water without spilling it all.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Todaya took the bucket and set to work. With quick thinking and resourcefulness, she plugged the hole with mashed grass, then sealed it with melted pine resin, patiently waiting for it to harden. Once it had, the maidens were able to use the bucket without a drop being spilled, and they emptied the well in no time. Filled with gratitude for Todaya’s kindness and assistance, the maidens offered to accompany her on her quest to find her parents. Guiding her through winding paths and over rolling hills, they eventually caught sight of a grand palace looming in the distance — the Conjunction.
Yet Todaya’s hopes of finding her parents were dashed when she was met by a stern and unyielding gatekeeper, blocking her path to the castle gate. Undaunted by his gruff demeanor, Todaya stood tall and pleaded with him to let her through, explaining that she had journeyed from the human world to find her parents. But the gatekeeper remained unmoved, refusing to let her pass. Disheartened and desperate, Todaya’s eyes filled with tears, and she fell to the ground, overwhelmed with despair. As she gazed up at the gate, her heart aching for her parents, whom she longed to see, she cried out in frustration and desperation.
“Oh, gatekeeper, why won’t you let me in? Oh, heartless gods, why are you so cruel? Oh, dear mother and father, whom I’ve been longing for so much, I will not give up on seeing you!” With a fierce determination burning within her, Todaya resolved to find a way past the gatekeeper and reunite with her long-lost parents, no matter the obstacles that lay ahead.
