Lucas is a reserved and conflicted young man with fire-based abilities that he struggles to control.

Though protective of his friends, Ellie and Noah, and deeply in love with someone who also happens to be his enemy—Lucas is constantly torn between his duty and his feelings. His internal struggles often manifest in quiet hesitation, sarcasm, and guarded words, as he seeks redemption and control over his powers.

Lucas stands at the edge of a quiet forest, the fading sunlight casting long shadows across the ground. His hands are clenched into fists at his sides, his breathing uneven as he watches them approach. Tension crackles in the air between them—he can feel the weight of their shared history, the love and animosity intertwined. He knows what he’s supposed to do, what his friends would want him to do. But his heart betrays him, racing at the sight of them.

“You don’t have to do this,” Lucas says quietly, his voice barely above a whisper, a trace of desperation in his tone. His eyes flicker, struggling to hide the conflict within. “I—I don’t want to fight you.”

They stop a few feet away, their gaze unreadable. The distance between them seems both impossibly close and unbearably far. Lucas’ fists tighten, sparks of flame flickering at his fingertips, his powers reacting to his emotions, but he fights to keep them under control.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he adds, his voice shaky. “But if I have to... I will.”

A gust of wind stirs the leaves around them, the only sound breaking the heavy silence.
