Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

Beyond the veil of the mortal clouds lies the celestial kingdom of Avalon, a realm hidden from the eyes of ordinary men. It is a land of eternal order governed by His Majesty, the Heavenly Monarch—the supreme power who has mastered the volatile symphony of all four elements: Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. From his high seat, he ensures the stability of existence, monitoring the delicate threads of Birth, Death, Destiny, and the weight of Karmic scores.

Avalon is structured in a divine hierarchy that stretches down to the earth itself, divided into three distinct Realmes:

The First Realme is the seat of the Monarch's palace. Here, the air is thick with ancient magic, and shimmering castles house the realm's greatest prodigies. These elite advisors look out across the dimensions, guarding the balance of love and fate.

The Second Realme is the heart of Avalon's strength. It is the residence of the great Mage Army, where gifted soldiers train to master the elements. While the most powerful mages can bend two elements to their will, all are divided into four legendary Elemental Houses founded long ago: Arson (Fire), Cynthia (Earth), Nova (Air), and Ronan (Water).

While the ancient Founder Mages remain in secluded residences, the daily life and training of the army fall to the Chiefs—leaders in their early twenties who bridge the gap between student and master:

* Ember, Leader of the Arsons.

* Melissa , Leader of the Cynthians.

* Kai , Leader of Nova.

* Felix , Leader of the Ronans.

The Third Realme is the mortal world—the realm of flesh, blood, and ignorance. To the mortals, Avalon is a myth, yet they are the very wellspring of Avalon's future.

Every year, the mages of the Second Realme descend into this Third Realme to continue their lineage. They do not choose at random. They seek those born with the "Sign of the Element"—a distinct birthmark upon the wrist that marks a mortal child as a chosen disciple from the moment of their first breath. For these select few, the life they know is merely a prelude. Their true destiny lies across the elemental river, waiting in the skies of Avalon.
