The elemental bonds

Ch-1 "Awakening "

[ENCHANTED WOODS - NIGHT]

The moon hangs like a pale lantern in the midnight sky, casting ethereal light upon the ancient trees of the enchanted woods. Minho, his wings a soft shade of grey and blue, wanders through the whispering shadows, his senses attuned to the secrets of the night.

Suddenly, from the darkness emerges a sinister figure, its form shrouded in mystery. Before Minho can react, strong arms ensnare him, dragging him into the obscurity of the forest.

[MEAN WHILE AT HYUNJIN'S DORM]

In the flickering torchlight of a dimly lit chamber, the atmosphere is heavy with the scent of smoke and charred wood. Hyunjin kneels on the cold stone floor, his body adorned with bruises and scars, each mark a testament to years of relentless torture at the hands of his MASTER Seo Joon, a tyrant draped in shadows.

Seo Joon sneers, his voice dripping with malice. "Pathetic little flame. You'll never amount to anything." With a whip in his hand, he strikes Hyunjin, the sound echoing through the chamber.

With a defiant glint in his eyes, Hyunjin braces himself against the pain, his jaw clenched tight. Suddenly, as if ignited by a spark of defiance, a surge of power surges through him, his very essence alight with an inferno of rage. Flames dance around his fingertips, casting eerie shadows across the chamber, as his wings unfurl with a resounding crack, a magnificent display of fiery defiance against his oppressor.

Seo Joon, alarmed and incredulous, exclaims, "By the gods... what have you become? What have you done?"

Hyunjin stands tall, his wings casting a fiery glow that illuminates the chamber, a beacon of strength in the darkness. His eyes, now ablaze with the colors of crimson and saffron, reflect the intensity of his newfound power.

With a mighty flap of his newly unleashed wings, Hyunjin bursts through the confines of his prison, the night air alive with the crackle of flames and the scent of freedom. Each powerful beat sends sparks cascading into the abyss below, a fiery trail of rebellion against the chains that once bound him. With each ascent, he feels the weight of oppression lift from his shoulders, replaced by the exhilarating rush of newfound liberation.

With a heart set ablaze with determination, Hyunjin makes a daring escape from the clutches of his oppressors, his wings carrying him higher and higher into the night sky. Each beat of his wings is a defiant cry against the darkness that sought to consume him, a testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve.

As he reaches the apex of his ascent, Hyunjin lets out a cry of exhilaration, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. He's free, truly free, and the weight of his newfound liberation fills him with overwhelming emotion. Perching atop a nearby building, he takes a moment to revel in the euphoria of his newfound freedom, the city sprawled out beneath him like a tapestry of lights.

With a trembling hand, Hyunjin reaches up to touch the scars that mar his skin, a painful reminder of the suffering he endured. As his fingers trace the raised tissue, he winces in agony, the memory of his tormentors' cruelty still fresh in his mind. But then, something miraculous happens-a warm glow emanates from his fingertips, suffusing his wounds with a comforting warmth.

At first, Hyunjin recoils in shock, his breath catching in his throat. But as the healing energy courses through him, he feels the pain begin to ebb away, replaced by a sense of profound relief. Tears of gratitude fill his eyes as he realizes the true extent of his newfound power-the ability to heal not just his physical wounds, but the scars that linger within his soul.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Hyunjin vows to use his abilities to protect others from suffering the same fate he endured. As he gazes out over the city skyline, a beacon of hope against the backdrop of the night, he knows that his journey is just beginning.
