Chapter 1 - taste of tears

in the kingdom of myrir, within the capital lianry, stood a vast mansion. one grand, now in lay withered and broken - windows shattered, its blackened foundation scarred as though by fire 

inside, a slim but fit young man with iron-pitch black hair stood in silence, his eyes mismatched- one dark green, the other dark brown . in his hands held a wooden picture case , framed with delicate embroidery , stared at it with quiet intensity then setting it down on a charred table and walking away.

far across the capital, in the western sector, stretched a magnificent park of green. the same young man stood again, this time with tight black clothing, a hood and light armor. he was not alone.

beside him strolled a slim and slender woman with blond hair, pale skin and piercing blue eyes. she wore a hanfu style robe patterned with red camellia. every step she took seemed touched with grace. as she moved, the air itself shimmered and combusted into tailing flames, from those flames shimmered mystical creatures. 

''you seem worried'' she smiled as she spoke'' something happen?''

 

the young man forced a smile but halted, ''i..... i want to walk the path of magic, how much will it cost for the knowledge?'' 

her smile deepened, amused ''you seem rigid. why not smiling more?'' 

''could you just tell me'' the young man pressed '' i will pay the cost needed''

''we only met'' she replied softly, ''let us speak as companions, call me clara, you are?''

the young man hesitated but spoke '' ray, ray aviklon, of the aviklon family''

clara showed no surprised, '' ray, that's a lovely name'' her voice was calm as she spoke in a slow but clear tone '' then listen well, to touch magic you could throw yourself in lava, drown in a body of water, burn ones self alive and others'' 

ray's eyes widened , but stayed quiet , as he absorbed her words.

''or'' she continued, ''find and object or food and consume when on the brink of death, after you will be able to use all elements, one that'' she smiled one more ''guess''

ray was dumbfounded by her words ,but still understood what she meant '' i choose one element to walk''

clara is 

 expression did not sift, as she added '' not completely ignorant i see. that's all you need to know, for payment- no longer disturb me''. like that the clara walked away gracefully, as her flamed creatures followed.
