Will his unparalleled mind unravel the riddles of his past, or will the weight of improbable bloodlines crush his future?The commotion in the market square was deafening. "Grab that bastard!" a guard shouted, as a hooded figure expertly vaulted over a fruit stand, sprinting towards the main exit. The royal guard captain, an elite earth Wielder named Zakai, narrowed his eyes, frustrated. For twenty minutes he’d chased this thief, a phantom who dodged every attack from his highly trained Wielders with unsettling grace.
As the hooded figure neared the blockaded exit, he unleashed a searing ball of fire, scattering the guards and clearing his path. Zakai noted the thief's surprising fire control, signaling the gunmasters on the walls. Fist-sized fireballs rained down, but the thief anticipated, leaping backward, then, unbelievably, used Zakai's own gauntleted punch as a springboard, launching himself towards the wall. Mid-air, flames erupted from his feet, providing an impossible boost.
He landed on the wall, conjured two massive fireballs, and sent them hurtling towards the gunmasters. A deafening BOOM echoed, signifying a breach in the wall and the thief's escape. Captain Zakai could only smile bitterly. "HAHAHA. I see. So he was able to escape after all. Find out who this person is and tell him that the Emperor wishes to see him."
