Chapter 1 part 1: Seraphina

"Hey! That's my toy!" I watch as the kid cries for her toy, being bullied by older kids. I stood up from the roof and walked away, I hate seeing such scenarios.

I walked towards the Grymkin's forest, my clan's forest, this is where my clan moved after someone had spread a hideous rumor about us, which is true. Our clan controls fire. The kingdom has given us the title of "Grymkin's Protector" when in fact we can burn this forest down into ashes.

As soon as I set my foot on the village's gate, Gran, my childhood friend, came running to me. "Sera! The elder Fyre is looking for you." He said. He guided me towards the elder's house but while walking he kept telling about nonsense and when we were near the elder's house, I got irritated and said, "For the record Gran, you are the noisiest man I've ever met." and walked away, leaving him smiling, don't ask me why that's just how he is.

"Sera! Nice timing, the elder just sent me out to get you, she has--" I didn't bother to listen to the elder's assistant and cut her off, "Look, I wouldn't be here if I didn't know, dimwit." I said and again, walked away, and went inside the Elder Fyre's house.

I am now standing in front of the door of the Elder's room. I knocked three times and as she gave the authority that I can come in, I went inside. Looking at her looking at me feels kind of weird. We both have these bright red eyes that look like are about to be on fire. She really looks like my mother.

"Come sit here Seraphina, my child." She said patting the space beside her. I went closer and sat beside her and as I sat, she held my hand and started to look straight into my eyes, which creeps me off, well, kind of.

"Seraphina Agni, my child, my granddaughter, the fated child of Ignatius and Tana, I have dreamt of you." As she spoke, her hand that was holding mine, started to squeeze it hard. She's strong for an old lady, I must say.

"My child, who has inherited the fire-like eyes of the Goddess of fire, you will meet eyes with the darkest of green that will take you to nature, eyes with the darkest of blue that will take you to the deepest part of the ocean, eyes with the lightest shade of blue that shall refresh your soul, you are bound to have a journey full of hate, love, happiness, and sadness. Seraphina, remember this, you are the fated child of a God and was given to us. You who will end the misery of our clan, after thousands of years. They finally gave you to us." She said.

I don't know how and what to react to this.

After my dead response, she sent me back home. My thoughts were filled with questions starting with "what is our clan's misery, to begin with?"
