RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO THE AWAKENING
The first punch landed hard on Shiro’s stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He staggered back, breathless, the laughter of his classmates filling the air. Before he could react, a second punch caught across his jaw, sending him falling to the ground. The familiar wave of shame twisted in his chest, but beneath it, something darker stirred. “Come on, freak!” one of the bullies sneered. “Show us your powers! Do something!” Shiro clenched his fists, his breath coming in ragged gasps. They didn’t understand him so did he. He had always known he was different—Since childhood, strange things had happened to him and around him. A cup shattering when he was angry, the air going cold when he was scared, his classroom becoming so hot when he's sad…even having dreams that seemed a little too real and familiar. And lately, it had grown stronger, harder to control. He felt it now, bubbling just beneath the surface. Heat prickled at his skin, and the earth beneath him trembled ever so slig
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO REVELATIONS UNVEILED
Shiro found himself in a strange place. It wasn’t exactly a forest, but rather a foggy, empty void. The air was thick, almost suffocating, and the sky above was shrouded in gray mist. He had seen this place before, it looked so familiar—somewhere, in dreams or fleeting thoughts—but he couldn’t quite place it. He blinked, trying to comprehend what was happening. Tiny shapes moved in the distance, whispering among themselves in a language he couldn’t understand. They were blurry before, like half-formed images in the back of his mind. But now... now he could see them clearly.These creatures were unlike anything he’d ever seen. Small, with brightly colored fur covering their bodies, their hands and legs skinny and delicate. They had two antennae that twitched constantly, and their eyes seemed to glow in the fog. They moved as if unaware of Shiro’s presence, passing by him without fear. Shiro wasn’t just confused—he was scared. As he stood frozen, trying to make sense of it all, a sma
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO SEREVAAL: THR SUPERNATURAL WORLD
In the hidden world of Serevaal, a place parallel to Earth but filled with extraordinary, supernatural creatures, The extraordinary world was unlike Earth, but not completely different either. The sky was a deep, shifting purple, and the ground, though solid, pulsed faintly with energy. Tall, sleek structures floated high above the ground, their bases resembling ships or large hovering crafts, serving as homes for the people. They weren’t animals, nor were they humans. These were beings of the elements—each one tied to fire, water, earth, or air. Most possessed the power of one element, a rare few controlled two. The people lived in harmony with the elements—fire, water, earth, and air. Severaal had existed for more than a millennium and they had maintained the balance of power, ensuring peace. 300 years ago, a great evil known as the Dark One awakened, threatening to plunge their world into chaos. The last time this happened, a hero had risen. His name was Elro, the greatest m
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO SHIRO AND KORIN BONDING
Shiro and Korin had become good friends over the past few days. They spent time talking and laughing, which helped Shiro forget about the heavy feelings inside him. As they sat in Shiro's dimly lit room, Korin shared stories about Elro to him. "You really cared about Elro, didn’t you?" Shiro asked, looking at Korin. The small creature nodded, his eyes shining with memories. "He was like a brother to me, he was my best friend." Korin said, his tiny body leaning against a desk. "We did a lot together even though I am really small…. but let's focus on you now!" Shiro sighed. He hadn't gone out much since what happened in school. People felt far away, and his parents seemed more worried about his strange behavior than about him. He just wanted to be alone. "Look at this," Korin said, pointing to a pencil on Shiro’s desk. "Can you try to melt this pencil?" "Me?" Shiro raised an eyebrow. "I don’t think I can." "But I'm sure you've broken a cup before!" Korin said,. "Yeah, bu
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO SHIRO'S ARRIVAL IN SEREVAAL
As Korin extended his small hand, a huge portal appeared in his room, it's energy crackled in the air. "Ready?" Korin asked, his eyes glowing with excitement. Shiro hesitated but nodded, and they both entered the portal. Before he could blink, the world around him twisted. The air shimmered, and the familiar walls of his room faded. He felt like he was being pulled through a thick veil, a sudden rush of air whipping past his face. His heartbeat quickened as everything went dark for a split second. When the darkness lifted, Shiro stood on unfamiliar ground. His breath caught in his throat as he gazed out at a world like nothing he had ever seen before. As he took his first steps in this strange, mesmerizing world, everything felt overwhelming. The ground beneath him wasn’t like anything he had ever stepped on—it seemed soft but firm, almost like walking on clouds. He looked up and saw bird-like creatures flying through the air, their wings glowing in colors he couldn’t describe. T
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO THE MEMORY BLOSSOM
Shiro woke up to a soft knock on the door. "Shiro, are you awake?" Korin’s tiny voice came from the other side. Shiro groaned as he sat up, rubbing his eyes. He hadn’t slept much through the night. "Yeah, I’m awake," he replied, his voice hoarse from lack of rest. The door creaked open, and Korin’s small form slipped inside, barely making a sound. “It's a new day. Ready to see a bit more of this place? You know, outside the council?" Korin asked, his antennae twitching with excitement. "Um, okay, but don’t we have to go to the council today?" Shiro asked, still confused about his purpose here and the urgency of everything. "Not yet," Korin replied with a smile. "We’ve got time for that. I just figured you’d want to see more of Serevaal. You know, get used to it a little bit." Shiro nodded, standing up and stretching. He wasn’t entirely sure if he was ready for anything, but being here felt like a surreal experience, something out of a dream. He needed answers, but he also w
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO SHIRO MEETS THE COUNCIL
After Korin and Shiro returned to his room in the council quarters, they barely had a moment to settle before there was a knock at the door. Shiro opened it to find a figure—a tall man with glowing eyes and a calm but powerful presence standing there, his expression serious. It was Ralph, a messenger. His dark cloak shimmered faintly, his facial expression void. "The council is summoning you, Shiro," Ralph said, his voice firm. "You’ll need to come alone." Shiro blinked, his stomach tightening at the thought of facing the council by himself. "Alone?" Korin stepped forward, patting Shiro's shoulder reassuringly. “You'll be fine," Shiro tried to push down the nervousness rising in his chest and gave a small shrug. "I guess so." "Don't worry too much," Korin said. “The protectors won't bite." With that, Ralph motioned for Shiro to follow him. Shiro glanced back at Korin, who gave him a thumbs-up before leaning back against the doorframe casually. The heavy doors of the co
RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO ELEMENTAL TRAINING: AIR
Shiro and Korin walked through the tall gates of the Serevaal Training School, the largest structure Shiro had seen since arriving. The buildings looked old but strong, with stone walls covered in vines that sparkled faintly. Inside the grounds, the supernaturals moved in groups, practicing their abilities with bursts of energy crackling in the air. Water splashes, flames flickering, and gusts of wind were everywhere as students honed their skills. Korin glanced over at Shiro. “This is where you’ll be learning to control your elements. Since you’ve got all four, you’ll have to go through each one step by step.” Shiro’s stomach churned. “And how long will that take?” Korin shrugged. “Depends on how fast you learn. The levels here are Beginner Novice and Intermediate before you reach the advanced stages. It’s a lot of hard work Shiro, but I think you’re up for it.” As they walked toward the entrance, Shiro couldn’t help but notice the whispers and stares from other students.

CHAINS TO FLAMES
A voice. Faint, yet firm. Calling him. "Wake up." Shiro's eyes fluttered open. His vision blurred for a moment before settling on the btight space around him. Shiro then looked up at the figure standing before him. His breath hitched. The man was tall, his skin a deep crimson, glowing faintly in the darkness. His eyes, golden and piercing, held a calm authority. His hair, long and flowing like fire, carried a power Shiro could feel in his bones. He looked exactly like him—Shiro. No. I look like him. Shiro thought. Was he??? "You... you're Elro," Shiro whispered, his voice hoarse. The figure smiled. "Yes, I am." Shiro stared at him, his mind racing. Elro. The great savior of Serevaal. But why was he here? Why was he standing before him, speaking as though he had been waiting for this moment? "Why are you here?" Shiro asked, his voice laced with confusion. Elro's expression remained calm. "I should be asking you the same, young hero. Why are you here?" Shiro frowned, loweri
NO PROOF NO MERCY
Liora stood firm as Cora’s helper returned and gestured for her to enter. Ryn shot her a wary glance, but she stepped in without hesitation. The chamber was dimly lit, the scent of burning incense hanging in the air. Cora sat at a low table, with a cup of tea in her hand, looking as composed as ever. "Liora," Cora greeted with a small smile. "I wasn’t expecting a visit…. from you at least. Shouldn’t you be resting?" Liora met her gaze, masking the storm inside her. "I feel fine now." Her voice was steady, but there was the slightest edge to it. "I needed to see you, Protector." Cora arched her brow. "To see me?" She took a slow sip of her tea. "How flattering." Liora sat across from her, never breaking eye contact. "I wanted to ask about Shiro." Cora didn’t even flinch. "Shiro? The little one, have you found or heard from him?" "Oh, you're aware that he’s missing," Liora said carefully. "You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?" Cora exhaled softl
QUESTIONED TRUTHS
Liora stirred awake, her body heavy with tiredness and exhaustion. The orb had drained all her strength, but she was recovering slowly and refused to stay in bed any longer because she was getting better anyways. Slowly, she swung her legs over the side and forced herself up, ignoring the lingering ache in her limbs. The room was dimly lit, the candles flickering from the draft seeping through the cracks in the stone walls.She was alone this time. Zerix had visited her earlier today, his voice tight with worry as he told her about Shiro that had been taken. He informed her on how the council was searching for him, but no trace had been found. The news had sent a chill down her spine, yet another weight added to the storm of unease building up inside her.She knew something. She just needed answers.Liora turned towards the bookshelves lining the far wall, each shelf packed with texts on elements and it's elemental powers, it's history, and the legends of Serevaal. But… Lio
ENEMIES AMONGST US
Shiro groaned as he woke up, his whole body aching. His arms were tied behind his back, and his wrists burned from the rough ropes. His head hurt, and he could smell damp earth around him. Grass twigs stuck in his messy hair, and the ground beneath him was cold and hard.He tried to open his eyes.Nothing.A blindfold.Panic rose in his chest, but before he could say anything, a voice spoke. "When the protector loses strength, shadows consume the light."Shiro froze. "Beware the one whose path is hidden in plain sight."His breath caught. Those words…They were the same ones written on the dungeon walls—the ones Shuifeng had translated. The footsteps moved closer."What do you want from me?!" Shiro shouted.A low chuckle. "Have you ever thought about what those words mean, human boy?"Shiro stayed silent as the man stepped even closer. He felt a warm breath near his face, then—sniffing. The man was sniffing himShiro tensed. “Disgusting." Shiro thought to himself The man ignored
THE ATTACK
The festival was alive with vibrant energy as Shiro, Mei, and Yuki wandered through the lively streets. Lanterns of every color swayed gently overhead, casting a warm glow over the crowd. Performers juggled flaming torches while some merchants called out, advertising their wares. The air smelled of roasted chestnuts and sugary treats, making it almost impossible to resist stopping at every stall.“This is insane!” Mei exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at a nearby booth selling tiny, glowing trinkets. “They really went all out this time. It's very lively and big, even amidst all that's happening now.”Yuki smirked, nudging her playfully. “ That's right, Mei, and try not to blow your whole allowance on those glowing rocks there.” he said as he caught her staring at them.“They’re not rocks!” Mei huffed, crossing her arms. “And don’t act like you’re not eyeing that grilled meat skewer stand over there.”Yuki’s stomach growled, betraying him, and he shrugged with a sheepish gri
COUNCIL MEETING
Alaric cleared his throat, breaking the heavy silence. “We need to address the orb’s instability. Liora’s condition is proof that we are wasting so much time in stopping the Dark One.”Rexar leaned back in his chair, his large arms crossed. “We’ve been quite lenient on this matter for a while. Don't you think? That's why the orb keeps getting unstable, this is nothing different. The Dark One’s influence is seeping through already. I can feel it. Or maybe someone within the council, tampered with the orb.”“You know that can't happen, this council is guarded.” Alaric replied sharply, “This is an anomaly, it's the Dark One.”“An anomaly or not, the orb almost killed one of us! How many more anomalies are you willing to accept before we act, Protectors”“Enough,” Zerix said firmly, his voice cutting through their budding argument. “We’re not here to argue. We’re here to find a solution.”Cora, who had been quietly observing the exchange, leaned forward slightly. Her tone was fierce but
DANCE OF FIRE AND EARTH
He wiped the sweat from his brow, casting a sideways glance at Yeuhan. “What now?” he asked, his voice strained but determined. Yeuhan watched him for a long moment, his expression still unreadable. "Now?.” Shiro wiped his forehead, his body trembling slightly from the exertion. “I thought you were going to kill me,” he muttered under his breath. Yeuhan’s laugh was low and dark. “I could, but where’s the fun in that? You’re still too weak, Shiro. The real challenge comes when you stop relying on physical force and start listening to your elements.” Shiro frowned, trying to make sense of what Yeuhan was saying. “So… control?” Yeuhan's eyes sparkled with an edge of amusement. “More than that. It’s about connection, I'm sure you've been told. You can’t force your elements to obey. You have to ask them, listen to them, guide them with your will.” Shiro didn’t fully understand, but he nodded anyway. He was learning—although at a pace he never thought possible. Before he could say an
THE OLD MASTER'S TEST
The soft glow of the new day painted streaks of amber across the waypaths of Serevaal. Shiro walked briskly, his mind swirling with Cora’s words. " It requires someone capable of wielding all four elements in harmony. Someone… like you.” Her voice echoed in his head, refusing to let him rest.But how could he possibly break the seal if he hadn’t even mastered one element fully? His abilities were raw, unrefined, and the weight of expectations felt heavier than ever.Shiro hesitated at the threshold of Yeuhan’s secluded house. He had found himself there after long consideration of visiting. The place emanated a quiet power, its wooden walls lined with intricate carvings of elements. It was a silent testament to the Old man that lived there.Shiro knocked. No answer. Again. No answer.“Yeuhan?” Shiro called, now pushing the door slightly ajar. The room inside was dimly lit by shafts of sunlight breaking through the wooden shutters. Shiro moved further, finding another door. Curiosity g
THREAD OF DECEPTION
Shiro sat on the edge of his bed, the weight of the past few days pressing on his chest. His thoughts kept circling back to what had happened back at the council—just like everyone, he wanted answers. And he also felt bad for Protector Liora. The air in his room felt heavy, suffocating. He couldn’t stay there any longer. He looked over at Korin who made faint sleep noises before leaving. Stepping out into the stillness of the area, Shiro moved toward a quiet corner where he often found peace. The training grounds had been eerily quiet since the council’s decision to pause all sessions due to what happened. Two days of restless waiting had done little to calm his nerves and his elements. As he sat on the stone bench, a prickling sensation ran down his spine. Someone was watching him. He stood abruptly, spinning around, his eyes scanning the shadows. “Who’s there?” His voice was firm, though his heart raced. No answer. He exhaled sharply, turning back to his seat—only to find hims
