In a time not recorded, when civilization was just beginning; the sky lit with a mystical light. From this light poured out 6 elements; metal, wood, earth, fire, water, and air. These elements were unlike any other for they were alive. Soon, nature was at war with itself, the tiniest spark grew to an epic wall of flame. The mountains and earth itself moved without provacation. Water flowed upward. Typhoons were created at a moment's notice and gone just the same. Plants and trees uprooted and planted themselves. Strange shining ore came from the ground. Thousands of lives were lost in the frenzy, and as the elements continued to battle more and more lives continued to be lost. It was only when the Elements become conscious of the lives beneath them that the war stopped. These powerful Elements convened at what is now called Yuánsù Valley. It is here they decided to conform to this strange new land, and thus peace was again restored. Each Element took a human representative to help them better understand the world, and that was the beginning of the race known as the Elementals... [[Start Story]]

You begin the day in your village by scouting for a muse. Before the sun has fully taken position in the sky you have been searching for hours when a mysterious man appears in the distance. This man is dressed in formal battle gear, with a sword by his side. He is glowing, but you cannot tell if this is from the sun's glare, or if the man himself is the source of the light. He starts to turn away and walk farther away. [[Follow Him]] [[Forget What You Saw]]

You run after him, but everytime you gain on him he appears farther away then before. When you have run for miles without any real progress the man disappears. You search and search for him, but he is nowhere to be seen. All that is left to prove you are not insane is a single candle left in the middle of the field. [[Investigate the Candle]] [[Get Back to Your Life]]

You go back to finding a muse, unconcerned by this strange sight. It takes hours, but you finally find something worthy of attention. You take out your paper scroll and start painting. You are so intensely wrapped up in your work that you barely notice a candle appearing next to your scroll. You look around, but there appears to be no one in sight that could have placed it by your worksite. [[Investigate the Candle]] [[Get Back to Your Life]]

You look closer at the candle and it lights itself! You look at the flame for a while and it almost seems like it is linked to you. It grows and whithers with your every breath. You pick the candle up and you see the man in armor inside the tiny fire. You drop the candle in amazement. You go to pick it up again, but the fire soon grows to enormous size! It engulfs your body quickly spreading from your arm to your chest and growing from there! [[Stop, Drop, and Roll]]

You ignore the candle and go back to your business. But it keeps popping up! You throw it away in frustration, but it comes right back as soon as you turn around! [[Pinch Yourself To Wake Up From Dream]] [[Investigate the Candle]]

You attempt to sniff the flames but it is useless. You scream and holler, but it dawns on you. You aren't burning. You get up and look at your body, but the flames are no longer there. Instead your clothes have changed. You now have on a gi for training, and the same sword the figure was wearing. You look at the candle but it's wax has melted. In its place is a note, "Come to the candle maker's shop at noon. That is if you wish to know more about your father." [[Ignore the Note]] [[Go to the Shop]] [[Get Back to Painting]]

You pinch yourself, but the only affect is has is that you are now slightly annoyed by the pinch. The candle continues to haunt you. [[Run Back to Village to Get Help]] [[Investigate the Candle]]

You run back to the village to show people the candle, but no one believes you. You rant about it so much that people start thinking you to be insane. They then tie you to a stake and preform a ritual of fire to exercise the spirits of madness from you. They light the flame and attempt to burn you, but the fire goes out everytime it touches your body. You feel the flames as if they are a part of you. You feel like you can almost tell them what to do... [[Try to Control the Fire and Escape]] [[Try to Control the Fire and Burn the People]] [[Do Nothing]]

You breath in and out and the flames rise and fall with you. You break the rope binding you with ease and the fire flares up! The villagers run around in a mad scramble. You see your opportunity to leave, but you can also teach these people a lesson. [[Escape]] [[Try to Control the Fire and Burn the People]]
