Shiro and Korin made their way to the council’s healing chamber, their steps brisk with concern. The air was heavy with tension, whispers of what had happened already spreading through the grounds and quarters.

“Do you think she’s okay?” Korin asked, his small voice laced with worry.

“She has to be,” Shiro replied, though his tone lacked certainty.

As they approached the healing chamber, two council guards stepped aside, allowing them in.

Inside, the room was filled with an eerie glow. Liora lay on a raised platform, her usually vibrant aura dimmed. A HELPER stood over her, hands glowing faintly as they worked to draw the orb's energy from her body.

Alaric, Zerix, and Rexar stood nearby, their faces in dismal.

“Shiro, Korin,” Zerix acknowledged, his voice soft but strained. “You’re here.”

“How is she?” Shiro asked immediately, his eyes darting to Liora.

“She’s stable,” Alaric replied, his usual calm voice filled with unease now. “But the energy from the orb… it’s taking time to

  • RISE OF THE ELEMENTAL HERO    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

    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

    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

    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

  • 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

    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

    Rexar leaned back in his chair, his earthy green skin catching the orb's light. His sharp features betrayed his frustration, though he masked it with an air of indifference.“So,” he began casually, crossing his arms, “has anyone come across... anything unusual lately?”The other protectors exchanged glances at each other.“Something like what, Rexar??” Zerix asked.“I don't know, perhaps something left behind by Elro?” Cora, seated at the head of the table, raised a sharp brow. Her fiery aura flared faintly, “Why would Elro leave something behind without informing the council?”“ I don't know, it just came to mind, it's nothing serious” “Do you know something we don't know?”Cora questioned, her eyebrows squinting slightly. Rexar scoffed. “Trust me, Cora. You all know more than I do. It was just a harmless question.” Alaric tilted his head, his silver hair gleaming. His cool, composed demeanor remained unchanged as he spoke. “You seem unusually concerned about this, Rexar. I

  • ABOVE THE WATERS

    The river flowed gently, its clear waters sparkling under the light as it flowed into a serene waterfall nearby. Shiro and Yuki sat on a smooth rock by the riverside, the sound of rushing water filling the air around them. The calm atmosphere seemed to draw them into a conversation that was quite relaxing."You know, forming a flying mage is not hard," Yuki said, responding to Shiro.Shiro sighed, resting his chin on his knees. "It's really hard. I just want Yeuhan to have some hope in me."Yuki blinked in surprise, turning to face Shiro. "Yeuhan? That's your instructor?"Shiro nodded.Yuki let out a low whistle, his expression shifting to one of admiration. "Yeuhan is a legend in Serevaal. He's been here for decades, maybe longer. He was here before my dad was even born. Did you know he taught Elro how to use his four elements?"Shiro's eyes widened in astonishment. "Elro? He taught Elro?"Yuki nodded again, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Yeah. He's one of the best. Honestly, I

  • THE FIRE WITHIN

    "Couple of days ago, we learnt how to form a mage," Yeuhan began, his commanding voice spreading across the training ground. "It was really simple. Now, I need you all to know..." His gaze swept over the students like a stormcloud ready to break. "...the easy stage has passed."Shiro swallowed hard, exchanging a nervous glance with Mei, who stood beside him. Mei's usual confidence seemed to flicker as she gulped silently, and Shiro couldn't help but do the same."Get into your runes, everyone!" Yeuhan commanded, his tone unchanged.The students scrambled to obey, rushing to their elemental circles etched into the ground. Shiro hesitated for a moment not knowing where to go but ended up in the fire rune. The fiery red circle beneath his feet glowed faintly as he stood still, trying to control his breathing. He felt the heat rise around him, though it wasn't enough to burn.Yeuhan moved to the center of the training ground, his staff tapping softly against the stone. His steps were meas

  • FURY AND SHADOWS

    Rexar stormed into his study, his earthy green skin almost shining in the dim light from the fire lamps mounted on the walls.His sharp features were hardened with frustration, his deep voice vibrating through the room as he muttered curses under his breath. Books, scrolls, and artifacts were scattered across the polished stone floor, a sign showing his fruitless search.He opened yet another drawer, pulling out old papers and slamming them onto the desk. His tall, imposing frame seemed to make the room smaller, the air heavy with his growing anger."It has to be here," he growled, his voice low but sharp. "It can't just vanish."Rexar's sharp eyes darted to the shelves lining the walls. They were overflowing with neatly stacked books and scrolls-except for the one he desperately needed. Except for the scroll he was looking for.His hands clenched into fists, and with a sharp gesture, twigs and branches began to form from the floor, twisting together into jagged shapes.
