Chapter 1 Kingdom of Elementia

Once upon a time, in a world that existed long before ours, there was a magical realm called the Kingdom of Elementia, far away from our world.

It was a place where extraordinary powers were as common as having hair on your head.

These powers came in four different types: nature, water, wind, and shadow..

The people of Elementia lived in perfect harmony, using their unique abilities for specific purposes and living happily united.

But as time passed, disagreements arose about which power was superior.

This led to the formation of groups, breaking the unity and creating numerous obstacles.

The worst part was that a devastating war broke out, causing suffering for the innocent and claiming the lives of children.

In the end, only a few individuals remained, including a king and queen who realized the grave mistake they had made.

To restore peace, an elder suggested a truce by arranging a marriage between the King of Nature and the Queen of Wind.

This decision was made because the populations of the Wind and Shadow wielders had significantly decreased after the war.

Once again, unity was born, and the kingdom flourished with joy and vitality.

People began to care for one another, just as they had done before.

After several years, the Queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter, a princess with stunning golden hair.

She was the first in the entire kingdom to possess such radiant locks.

While there had been blondes, brunettes, redheads, and those with white hair in the past, none had hair as flawless and golden as hers.

However, the princess was not only unique in her appearance but also lacked any special powers.

She was an ordinary human being, without any extraordinary abilities.

As a result, people started to look down on her, including her own parents, despite treating her as royalty.

Since the day she was born, she had faced endless torment.

However, on her sixteenth birthday, everything flipped like a coin.

As she awoke in the dead of night, she saw tall flames feeding on her curtains, swirling around her and her room ablaze.

Panicked servants rushed to extinguish the fire, and in that moment, she felt a transformation within herself.

Amidst the chaos, an elderly servant glared at her with pure malice.

"You did this!" the servant accused, she couldn't help but question if it was a prank played by the naive attention-seeking princess.

As she approached the princess to attack, instinctively, the princess shielded herself with her arms, waiting for an attack.

To her surprise, no harm came to her.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and lowered her arms, only to witness the servant who had threatened her turning to ashes.

The others, too terrified to act, knelt before her in submission.

Meanwhile, the Queen and King slumbered peacefully in their chambers until a strange clicking noise roused them.

Their gazes darted around the room, and there, beside their bed, stood a shadowy figure.

"Who's there?" The Queen inquired, her voice shaking with curiosity and fear.

In a dazzling show of power, a spark ignited from the princess's hand and lit the candle, illuminating the room.

They had never seen such extraordinary abilities before.

Though hesitant, they decided to retreat rather than embrace the unfolding changes.

The King rushed toward the door, but with a mere flick of her finger, it burst into flames.

"Father, I command you to lie down!" The princess's voice echoed through the room.

He turned around, only to discover his daughter clutching the Queen's throat.

With no other choice, the King obeyed her command.

They lay side by side on the bed, the princess positioned between them, gripping their throats

tightly.

Anger was visible on her face as tears welled up in her eyes. "All my life, I've endured nothing but your hatred, the hardships I faced because of you! All I wanted was love!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with pain and hatred.

"Look at me now, dear parents. Today, I stand above you both!" Her words hung in the air.

"We are sorry!" they pleaded for her forgiveness, but a smirk appeared on her face.

"Too late!" It was evident that a transformation had taken place within her.

The King and Queen stood frozen, mouths wide open, their faces turning a deep shade of red.

Veins began to surface, snaking across their cheeks and necks. The veins pulsed, changing from red to yellow, until flames suddenly erupted from their veins, eye sockets, and mouths.

They burned where they stood. The fire rapidly spread throughout the palace, devouring everything in its path.

The flames leaped from the palace to the surrounding trees, and then to the wooden gates of the city.

A crowd gathered around the palace, drawn by the towering inferno.

From amidst the raging flames, the princess emerged, stepping onto the front steps of the palace.

"Dear people!" She called out, tears streaming down her face. "It is with great sorrow that I announce the death of my parents. Their impatience has led to their demise." She wiped away her tears and continued.

"You all believed I was weak, but you were mistaken. The power within me was growing, waiting to be unleashed. If only you had recognized my worth, my father and mother would still be alive." She sobbed, her voice filled with grief.

The Chancellor stepped up, addressing the crowd. "The Queen has just discovered her incredible abilities, abilities that have never been witnessed before on this land.

Our lack of knowledge resulted in a tragic incident that took the lives of both the King and Queen.

I am devastated to bring you this news. The Queen and King are no more!" His words ignited a

chattering among the people, and one man summoned the courage to step forward and voice his doubts.

"How can we trust that you are telling the truth?" He yelled.

The princess turned toward the man, her eyes now a vibrant, fiery orange.

The bushes behind the man burst into flames, while the rest of the fire vanished as if it had never existed.

"I won't compel you to kneel before me," she stated, a mischievous smile dancing on her lips.

"But if you do, you will have the most powerful Queen, and a life filled with unimaginable wonders." The Queen observed as each

person knelt before her, accepting her as their ruler. No one knew what really happened behind those closed doors, but the power she displayed was undeniable.

And so her reign began.
