Kiran, an 11-year-old, lives in Begonia City with his parents, Arhun and Kora Wang.
He doesn't have a sibling. When he was 19, two of his older brothers, Thorn Wang, perished in a conflict with the Chosa. The second oldest sister in the Wang family, who also perished in battle, died after Aura Wang. The Qingchang Empire enlisted all to aid Hersen in his conflict with Chosa and Zhouya.
Kiran can still recall. Thorn Wang was proclaimed dead in battle then. Imperial soldiers were knocking on the door with a letter from the empire that read aloud in front of the door, "The Empire is very grateful for the contribution of the deceased's young manpower."
The mother of Kiran passed out.
Arhun Wang tried to maintain his composure while listening to the soldiers read the official news from beginning to end. The home spent a month in mourning. Every day, Arhun stopped speaking and went silent.
Another imperial soldier rang the doorbell again a season later. The news was read in front of Arhun, Kora, and Kiran.
"On the edge of the Chosa Empire, the skywraith, the spirit ship that Aura Wang was aboard, exploded, shot by the magic fire of the enemy land pyromancer."
Even though the soldier's lips were reading the obituary, it remained silent.
Next on the bed was Arhun Wang, suffering from a fatal illness. He changed into an undead and became immobile and speechless—only silence on the bed.

In the pine forest, Kiran becomes lost. Three of his naughty mates were missing after two hours. He had unknowingly entered the Forbidden Forest's heart on a deeper level.
Dusk is approaching in the sky. The horizon appeared dark; shortly, it would be entirely dark, signalling the approach of night. The forbidden jungle immediately became unsettling. Kiran experienced the sensation of being flung into an unfamiliar environment. He sees nothing but nature and a series of tiny hills before him. Mysterious and unsettling.
It was unexpected by Kiran. Line Hills is the region between Qingchang and Zolia's border wall.
He noticed the slope line on top. There is a tall wall, and thin, dark smoke covers it. It emanated a mysterious atmosphere that reduced Kiran's goosebumps.
Kiran quickly understood that the measure had long since crumbled. He panicked at once!
"This marks the international border. The edge is rumoured to be militarized; also, there are a lot of sorcerers and masters of the element controllers who serve the Emperor. Wretched! Instead of being executed as a family, I could have been charged with espionage.
He felt bad about it. Now turn around and resent yourself! "What have I done exactly? Why is it so audacious to enter this horrifyingly barred area? The best method is to run.
However, as soon as he entered the forest, everything appeared dark as ink. Even the moonlight cannot penetrate the leaf cells.
Kiran swung around once again. He stopped in the middle of a tiny field whose edge was bordered by the Line Hills, which were visible on the horizon.
Kiran pondered this while he prepared the ground at the base of the pine tree for him to lay down, thinking that waiting until it was light was a prudent move.
+++
It's getting later in the night. Kiran didn't shut his eyes either. He curled up beneath the pine tree without even daring to move. He feared that if patrolmen saw him, they would mark him.
This prank will be difficult for my entire family. It's unfortunate for the mother, who is ageing, and the father, who is disabled. His cheeks were covered in tears. But it's never too late to apologize.
The moment he calmed down, Kiran was able to think clearly. The heart's longing to live becomes increasingly strong.
"I don't want to die here!" he cried, but his stomach rumbled, signalling that hunger had overtaken him.
Unfortunately, he was met by the buzzing sound of the chilly night wind. It aggravated the hunger even more. Which food should I eat? I'm not even armed with any supplies. This incident is beyond my ability to comprehend, Kiran grieved.
He braved the hunger and chilly forest air throughout the night. Despite feeling sleepy, he dared not close his eyes because of the howling wolves.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, two little dots began racing each other in the height of the sky above him. I mistakenly believed that the occasional tiny flicker bursting into flames like a spark was a normal occurrence.
He stared at the foggy sky, which suddenly became attractive as the tired eyes grew more and more intolerable. In space, two moving points are pursuing one another. Kiran abruptly sprang to her feet. He crossed the grassy field's border as he emerged from the woods.
The two points are becoming more distinct. Kiran questioned. "Hold on a second! A meteor was not a naturally occurring occurrence. However, two living beings are chasing the sky. Kiran grew irritated right away.
Is it a form of border patrol magic? I'd best run away.
Just as he turned to enter the woodland, the two spots became more obvious. Its form resembles a bird with large wings. It was interesting to note that the chicken was crimson and on fire.
Kiran scowls. "Hold on a second! Is it the storied creature? But never!"
Kiran used his hands to rub his eyes. He then raised another glance to the heavens. And then the shock came. "Phoenix! Kiran yelled, "That's right, it's Phoenix!" under control.
"I've seen images of that animal. Before the conflict, it was located in Begonia City's library.
Now Kiran is intrigued. He looked at the gleaming thing chasing the Phoenix. That's a ship. Which cruise ship has wings? Is this the 'Spirit Ship' as they term it? Kiran developed a growing level of interest.
He boldened himself and unconsciously moved into the centre of the grassy field. He can now be seen in the distance from above the sky.
Duar!
Flames suddenly appeared and shot out in the direction of the spirit ship. Kiran's eyes grew larger.
Amazing show! Phoenix is fought by Spirit Ship! They must die of envy if I tell those three brats about this. More and more, Kiran began to forget that he needed to remain undetected by the officers aboard the spirit ship by hiding.
Ten people on the spirit ship were also donning the distinctive military garb of the magic division at the same time, and they were firing fire repeatedly at the enormous thing. And to Kiran's shock, no guns were used to fire the explosion's flames. However, the palm is thrust forward.
"Wretched! They are fire benders and magicians. Pyromancer." Kiran was in disbelief.
This is not a fantasy. But actual: Pyromancer and Hydromancer versus the famous Phoenix and ten experts!"
Kiran couldn't take her eyes from the field's centre. It was evident from above. The wizards couldn't miss it. A real little boy observes magic performances that should not be casually observed while conducting forbidden reconnaissance. Kiran desired to depart. But it was difficult to miss the expression in the pyromancer's eyes as he stared at him from that deck.
"Is our Wang family coming to an end? " Kiran sobbed vehemently in his heart. He thinks they will all receive the death penalty for their arrogant behaviour.
Note: Elementalist fire benders are pyromancers, while Elementalist water benders are hydromancers. It is known as Aeromancer for wind controllers and Geomancer for the person in charge of the ground.
CONTINUED.
Kiran was taken aback. He regarded the night sky over the Forbidden Forest as his heart raced. In his lifetime, it was a performance he will never forget."Is that the Phoenix, the White Sage's contract creature, as storyteller Niraj Singh tells us?" Kiran questioned.He is a little boy who enjoys fairy stories. Mr Niraj Singh regularly gives a stage performance at the wine bar of Brimm The Liquidator, Kiran, telling legendary tales. His favorite mythology concerns the conflict between the White Sage and the Black Warlock in the sky above the Ayax Continent. The storyteller astounded Kiran and his pals.Rumour is reported to have it. Sorcerer Niraj Singh was one. He works for the Red Phoenix Clan as a covert agent and spy. But that still needs to be verified. The reverse side. The distance between the two figures and the earth increased. The ground shook as a result of the loud noise.Rooaar! The spirit ship and the Phoenix flew overhead. They grabbed each other and fell to the groun
Krooong! The sound of flapping wings resonated in Kiran's head.At first, it was slow, but it got louder and more complex. The sound of the gong being beaten echoed in Kiran's ears. As it got closer, the vibration of the wings shook Kiran's body.Kiran was hysterical. "I don't want to die yet!"Swoosh! Kiran jumped as far as he could. His body then rolled over the grass of the field, ending with the trunk of a nearby pine tree. Kiran was in pain. It was a large and young tree. And the explosion sounded.BOOM!Dust flew, following the soaring flames, as the Phoenix instantly hit the scorched grassy ground.Kiran felt the hot steam expand to where it was lying. The skin seemed to be about to peel off. The red-yellow Flame burned for a moment. Afterward, it goes out.Silence!Kiran was in pain. His whole body was stiff, mixed with pain. He tried to stand up but couldn't. Resignedly, he lay face down in silence, trying to survive the pain.The Forbidden Forest was silent. There was no sou
It's still dark; the sun hasn't been seen yet. The cold wind blew from the Forbidden Forest, making the Begonia City residents even more sleepy. Everyone tightened the quilt to survive the freezing air.But in the heart of the Whispering Forest, a military group paced back and forth among the rustling shadows of pine trees. The sky was clear and cloudless, beginning to be dark blue, a sign that dawn was approaching.Swish!The three medium-sized spirit ships are all made of Padauk Wood, a unique wood with wood grain that looks beautifully glowing in the still dark sky. Those spirit ships shuttled over the border of the two empires. Qingchang and Zolia.Now and then, spotlights from a height are emitted through the lush pine leaves. There is an important thing that concerns those people. The 100 military men, pacing on the outskirts of the forest, looked busy looking for something.The dashing man was no more than 30 years old; it seemed he was the military group's commander.He was we
Kiran and his friend take a thousand steps – Bolted like a deer – and they disappear in the dark of night. At Brimm, the Liquidator, Eve Whitehouse, cast a cold gaze at the window where they had been peeking.++++++Avena, Kai, and Ming ran toward the left, and Kiran continued to run on the rocky road.Kiran also disappeared at the crossroads; he ran fast with his chest pounding. He didn't even feel that he had traveled a long distance in the blink of an eye. He had been hiding under an uncomfortable rough blanket in his cramped room just now.Kiran couldn't fall asleep. His eyes opened wide, looking at the hollow ceiling of the room!He imagined the cold gaze of the pale, white-haired woman just now. The aura emanating from the Pyromancer seemed capable of killing him, even with a look. For some reason, something in his mind made him dislike the Pyromancer earlier. But he tried to ignore it.Ultimately, the drowsiness came, and he fell asleep and forgot about the thrilling events in
Begonia City went into an uproar. The mysterious group's battle action attracted attention. But they are afraid. Who would dare to get close to an Elemental Control Guild fighting like that? If one gets hit by a target shot, one's life might be wasted.People were busy running to save themselves, avoiding the chaos. Some fell, and a group of panicked visitors even trampled some. Luckily there were no casualties in the incident.Everyone was seen without a cloak; no one wore a hooded cloak like the first time the people gathered in the square.And far above the stage, Niraj Singh had completely disappeared, disappeared with the mysterious group.Captain Bao stood with his hands on his hips in the middle of the field. With a sour face, he raised his sword high into the sky, then shouted with a great voice. His voice resounded across the sky of the town square."Everyone, please calm down. Don't make meaningless noises, which will add to the chaos. The military will take strict action ag
Someone stopped Kiran's daydream. "Mother?" Kiran was surprised when Kora Wang tapped him on the shoulder"What are you doing here?" her gaze was curious."Let's go home! It's already afternoon. I don't want to be whipped just for waiting for you to chat here. The curfew will take effect soon!" Kora Wang was very firm. The children dispersed.Kiran walked hurriedly; his mother returned his hand to their small house. On the way to the house, not only the two of them were seen walking fast. Many people going back and forth were also in a hurry to return to their homes before the curfew was enforced. No one wants to be whipped, in the town square, with thousands of townspeople watching. It's too embarrassing!Kiran pulled the rough blanket up to his neck. He's looking for warmth. For some reason, since Avena had said that the enchantment candidate was selected, they had to move to Shanggu City, to that famous magic academy. Kiran shivered nervously. It was not bear to be separated from h
Dozens of children participating in the talent audition line up neatly under the podium. In his uniform, an officer was a military man passing out serial numbers to go on stage to take the aptitude test guided by Zetta Mui - a fortune teller girl.Kiran got serial number 12."This is a number that does not indicate fortune but is also not unlucky.Hopefully, I pass the audition later," thought Kiran, his face sullen. The number three is a lucky number for Kiran.In the Qingchang Empire, At this time, the people believe in mystical things. So whatever it is, it is always associated with bad luck or not. From numbers or days, even months, they always believe there are lucky times and unlucky times for certain numbers. This month, the number three is a favorite number.The town square is getting busier.After all the auditionees received their queue numbers, Zetta Mui invited them to the stage in number order."First sequence!"Before anything else happened, a great roar was heard, and t
Kiran's heart beat wildly! The railings of the short steps leading to the podium feel like a long hallway leading to the death chamber.Kiran was filled with insecurity and worry that his talent test results would lead to disappointment.Kiran trembled."Calm down, little brother. Take a deep breath and touch the magic brush.Now!" Zetta tried to persuade him.Kiran became confident.Inexplicably, Zetta's gentle and kind voice made his mind clear.Zetta urged."Let's start with one brushstroke on the surface of the canvas, and it's all done!" Zetta commanded, now her tone commanded. That hesitant attitude made her lose her temper quickly."Good luck!" Kiran closes his eyes, pumping up his spirits, and unexpectedly, she waves goodbye, mimicking Zetta's dramatic gestures.Whoa!That magic ink liquid fully stained the entire surface of the canvas. Everyone in the square was wide-eyed.Kiran is careless!He should have swept the brush for just a few drops, but in Kiran's hand, the magic p
All evidence of the fight from the previous night was sealed on the chilly morning in the spruce forest when the wind rustled, bringing the snow flowers that dropped to the ground. As far as the eye can see, the landscape is now all white and gray.Roneko walks with Kiran as they stroll around the campsite. He kept asking the Kyuubi Roneko to tell him what had happened the previous night."Please tell me again, Roneko. Are you certain that the fire-phoenix figure is a representation of the powerful magic deed I performed?" Kiran did not give up.Roneko confirmed, a desperate look on his face and a smirk that showed the master never believed a word he said. Haven't you heard yourself, My Lord Kiran? Zephyr himself attests to your surprising golden Phoenix magic. So why ask the same question over and over again?"Kiran chuckled, still wearing a simple, disbelieving expression, "The issue is, I only rode once. With the Fire Peacock, even then. Not gold, but red is the color of the flames
Minutes before the silver-eyed eagle left, after she received orders from the Nymph Leader, Roneko the Kyuubi had been watching the events between the silver-eyed and the Nymphs.While everyone was fixated on the battle on the horizon, the one between the Frost Giant - Ymir and the Golden Phoenix Silhouette, the Nymph Leader was trying to find an opportunity. He secretly summoned the silver-eyed eagle to inform the ruler of the Ice Palace of their dire situation.Who would have thought? From the Ternola Forest's side, Roneko watched all the happenings with great vigilance.When she saw the gray-colored light flashing from the Nymph's group, branching rapidly towards the horizon, it was at that moment that her figure wearing a red-colored dress also flashed, chasing after the Silver-Eyed Eagle.On the other hand, on the Nymph's side, such a crucial moment was not missed by the Nymph Leader.With eyes blazing, mouth wide open, she shouted frantically, "There's something red attacking th
It was cold at night, and the wind was strong. There was a deep freeze in the Wonderland Realm, and there was a strange feeling in the air near the Spruce Forest.At the very moment that everyone in the Ternola Forest thought they were safe behind the magic mirror shield, a terrified cry rang out."Look! "The magic mirror is about to break!"Right away, things went from orderly to chaos.All the creatures that were protected by the magic of 100 Twilight Turtles became scared."Someone needs to do something! We'll all die if we don't!""Oh, is there still any magic power that can defeat that damned thing?"When Ymir's fist hit something, it made a loud noise, and the magic mirror's crackling sound scared everyone.In fear, they let out a roar, and then there was a sudden flight towards the crystal mirror, which was getting more and more cracked. It might even break soon."Who is it?""Where did that golden-colored figure come from?""The light of its body is dazzling!"All the people w
Strings, strings, stringsThe harp strings tinkled softly as the Nymph Leader played strange notes on the strings. The other Nymphs looked sad and murmured as if they were singing with very low pitch and words. It gave everyone shivers."Damned magic!""They're summoning supernatural beings!"Fear crept up on the people who lived in the Ternola Forest.Right then, the sky on the horizon turned dark in an instant. There were black clouds in the sky that stopped the moonlight and starlight from falling to the ground.The air got colder all of a sudden. At the edge of the cypress forest, the still water looked like it was freezing as a cold wind filled the air.In the distance, you could hear footsteps. The sound was so loud that it made the ground shake, snowflakes fall, and water splashes fall right away.Press, press, press!From the north, everything watched with wide eyes."Ymir!" "Ice Giant!"Ymir was a mythical giant from Norse times. He was made of fire and ice and was very scary
The golden-red flame that shot out of Kiran's body at that precise instant was not your typical flame, not one that could be ignited by a five-hundred-year-old Fire Peacock.Other species hardly ever saw this weird, perpetual glow. The color of the fire is gold.The first person to recognize this was Roneko, the fire chakra master Kyuubi. When the strangely hot light of immortality erupted from Kiran's flesh, she was the closest to him."Professor. This is fire that never goes out. Not a fire that a contract creature like a fire peacock might release." Roneko said, looking shocked.The monster that arose from Kiran's spirit was not a fire peacock, in Kyuubi's opinion.Roneko dared to confirm that, despite being a different species of bird, "it's not a peacock at all." What an odd bird. Unfortunately, Roneko reflected, that figure appears to be bound by a curtain of magic, which makes it look exceedingly enigmatic.Roneko heard Kiran's voice offering directions while he was still unsur
Diolos the Pegasus felt drowsy all of a sudden that night as the cold seeped in through frost petals falling from the sky.He gave it some curious thinking. Diolos thought to himself, "I don't usually get sleepy so early in the night." Whining, he asked Kiran, who appeared to be experiencing sleepiness as well. The night sky served as his roof while he worked hard to spread out a sleeping mat beneath a fir tree.The whimpering voice of Diolos disturbed Kiran, and he chastised the Pegasus. "Slept on, Diolos. There's still a long way to go. This Wonderland Realm ends at the White Witch's Ice Palace. You'll require more stamina tomorrow." He gave his advise, and Kiran fell asleep almost immediately.His bed was the dried straw mat that was spun into a mat. Simultaneously, the down blanket—the most opulent piece of gear available at the time—attempted to shield every Ternola Forest species from the chilly night air. Although snowflakes started to fall from the sky that night, nobody's slu
This large area appeared appropriate for erecting a makeshift tent the night before the weird incident, when Kiran and his two groups came, along with Zephyr and the war party from the Ternola Forest.Zephyr firmly exclaimed, "We'll rest until morning, then continue our journey to the Northern Palace!""Finally resting too..." Zephyr, the war leader, gave the order, much to the relief of the members of the special warband.The military men of all the ethnicities quickly and deftly erected tents. On the other hand, others made meals, gave each combatant medicine, and provided water.There were ten animals each race, and each race had dedicated people who planned the accommodations.Food like that eaten by creatures outside the Realm is no longer of the utmost importance in the Ternola Forest of this Wonderland Realm, where miracles occur beyond logic and conventional sense.Every race in this Realm has a number of shamans with magical abilities that can turn botanical components into p
Tet - tet - tet...The five hundred Silent Owl troops whistled a war song, producing a sound like a trumpet. It was intentional to purposely amplify the sound of these hundreds of Silent Owls flapping their wings, creating an echoing sound that made anyone who heard it shiver, much like thousands of dragonflies flying.The wind-controlling foxes appeared to clear the path by marching orderly through Ternola Forest, behind the troops as they walked on the snow-packed road, all while making their clomping footsteps audible. The Breeze Foxes occasionally whistled, and when the wind picked up speed, it blew the snowdrifts aside, revealing the route north and allowing the men to advance without difficulty.Thousands of creatures living in the Ternola Forest lined both sides of the road as they saw the magical beast army's procession, which resembled a human army march.A thousand troops of tiny beings known as Spark Sprites, who could conjure electric sparks, strode silently but with a for
Kiran became a little uneasy as Zephyr explained the plot to overthrow the White Witch, the King of the Ice Palace, and organize an uprising."Do you men in this Ternola Forest have an army to attack the King? If so, are you soldiers with training?" Kiran asked a question that made sense. If there were no skills at all, wouldn't every resident of this Ternola Forest perish needlessly in a conflict, especially against a well-trained Royal army?Zephyr grinned and replied, "My dear friend Kiran, you need not worry," after hearing her remarks, which appeared apprehensive. We have multiple troops in this woodland, and they are all magically skilled. When you finally get to see them tomorrow, you'll be shocked.""Tomorrow?" Kiran inquired. "You will start the attack tomorrow?" With incredulity, he asked. Kiran's worry was visible on his face. These residents of Ternola Forest were careless and inconsiderate of their strength.Zephyr answered with the naiveté of a ten-year-old: "That's corr
