It is the day of the dragon in the continent of Elaria, precisely in the city of Magnolia.
Alcool flowing everywhere, music and dance occupy the neighbourhood, people are glad to witness the arrival of a new hope, anew God rise to save the land and become the Dragon wielder, a beautiful title for a wonderful hero. As laughter and chattered echoes through the city, the main event occurred in the beautiful Magnolia Castle, a high blue castle where nobles and high classed citizens have a distinguished party with the four descendants of Gods among them.
Alayla, daughter of the God of War, renowned as the strongest among them.Irving, son of the God of Seas and Weather, known for his calm demeanor and strategic mind.Semilla, daughter of the God of Gardens and Peace, celebrated for her compassion and grace.Flash, son of the Goddess of Speed, swift and untouchable as the wind.
Alayla in a red crimson dress, with her silver hair is sitting on a table, alone, drinking her tea with Irving with his blue suit at her and striking blues eyes and black hair, closely.
Irving: You look precious, although we all know that you came here for nothing [looking at her dress, smirking]
Alayla: 'What does this jerk want' Finishing her drink like a mad man.
Irving: "Have you heard of the news? [with a mocking smile], the dragon necklace only chooses a powerful God, worthy of a pure heart, meaning without a bad temper. It's a shame for ladies like you who can't control their..."
In a swift moment, Alayla grabs Irving violently by the collar and put him in the air, despite his height.
Alayla: Irving, i know you are quite clever, so I'm going let you think about the next words you choose before this party become your new coffin.
Irving [Gasping for air, and Stuttering]: I mm-meant, you are not like anybody Alayla! Please let me go. I'm only Thir-thirteen, I'm way too young to die.
Alayla let him go, going to another place to cool off and Irving goes away, finally breathing as Flash with his bright yellow costume catches him up leaving a gust of wind behind him.
Flash: "Hey Irving! Wow still catching L's to get Alayla i see, wanna join me and the boys to the pool! You could find better people than her."
Irving [still holding his neck in pain]: "I'll pass Flash, and Alayla isn't my type anyway, i need to rest a little bit. [looking around] Where is Semilla? She should be with us right now."
Flash: "She might be praying or some stuff, you know how elves like her are really connected to their parents, i mean she's a freak but not in the terrific way, if you know what i mean
[bumping his friend while blinking.] "Well i'm going out see ya!" [Running again bumping into a waiter who almost lost her plate]
The party continues as the people eat and drink like there's no tomorrow.

In a shadowy alley, far away from the ceremony and the castle where the poverty settles in Magnolia lowest part of the city, we see an old man in a tiny outside shop, selling his overprices food arguing with a customer.
Old Man: If you can't deal with prices, dealt with a better shop, but there's no shop better than mine! [playing with his mustache, laughing like a pirate]
Customer: "I bet there's a store that can sell me better food than the crap you have! Twenty-five gold for a sandwich that's ridiculous! " [He spits on the floor before leaving, kicking the floor, leaving the food behing]
Old Man: 'At least there's better customers with real money i can scam, not some crazy cahoot like this jerk'
In a meantime, he hears on of his barrel falling on the ground, the old man comes to pick it up but all the sudden, a shadowy figure runs behind him and grab something, it was the sandwich the last customer left earlier.

Old Man: Get back here you scumbag! Guards help me!
In a moment, some guards notice the distress and run against this thief, but something was sure, it wasn't an adult, just a boy darted through the bustling streets, weaving between people, and using them to cover his track. Though quick and clever, the guards spotted him and gave chase. Breathing heavily, he notices the thick roots of an old tree near a house, climbing from it, he leaps from rooftop to rooftop until he found a secluded corner to hide.
The Boy: 'They won't find me here...'
He hears the mechanical sound of the armors, wandering around his spot but after a while, he peaks and find no trace of the guards following him. His heart pounded as he clutched his stolen prize. Pulling on his hood, he took a bite of the bread, savoring it, running toward his home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the way home, we see the boy in the town full of festivities. He is the only one who doesn't celebrate, as we see families heading towards the ceremony to the castle for the day of the dragon, his only sense of joy is to provide for his unique family, his sister. He runs into a dark alley, where the ruins increase, and despair filled the air into the neighbourhood. He finally reached Magnolia outskirts city- Golod, which means famine. He reaches his tiny house made of aluminum with one window, when he comes the door, he is greeted by a pillow striking his face.
?: "You're late Thiago!"
Thiago: "Sera, why did i tell you about not throwing something at strangers especially if this person is me ?!"
'Yep, this is my life, living with my young sister Seraphine or Sera for short, hoping we could survive every day as orphans. But with her big mouth, i must provide for both of us'
Thiago: "Here's a part of the sandwich i got..."
Sera:" Did you stole it?" [Eating the sandwich anyway because she's poor duh.]
Thiago: "That's none of your business?"
Sera: "So you did steal it."[Still munching]
'OH you're little...! You should be glad that we got the same face or i would put you into the street already. '
At night, the siblings are together as in the living room floor, with a carpet on the floor and a blanket and two pillows. Thiego looks at the window with stars and Sera is sad on her side of the room, thinking.
Sera : "Hey Thiago? do you think we could see who become the dragon wielder today?"
Thiago: "Sera, it is late, we will know tomorrow! I'll get you a journal of the dragon warrior, i promise."
Sera gets up, shyly from the side of the floor
Sera: "Yes but i want to know who won, i mean Alayla surely was the winner!"
Thiago: "Nahh i think Irving and his incredible lance saved the world."
'Honestly i have more doubt on him and would bet on Semilla because of her good heart being the dragon wielder but Sera would still think I'm a simp so no.'
Sera:" I hope one day i could watch the ceremony of the dragon, maybe when I'll be an old lady, i could wait for 100 or 200 years for this to happened again"
Thiago: "You should probably go to sleep; tomorrow is another day."
Sera: "Sweet dreams big bro, thank you for taking care of me. " [She hugs Thiego tightly before going to sleep]
Thiago thinks and thinks again, as her words stung him, but they hold truth in it.Watching the ceremony of the dragon happened once in a lifetime, he wants her to know what it feels like but it is too late. So, he sleeps, but curiosity got the better of him and he decides to sneak into the capital and see for himself the ceremony. Unable to resist, he quietly slipped out of the house.
Thiago: "Just for a little while, it won't last."
He whispered to himself, glancing back at his sister. Without a second thought, he headed toward Magnolia Castle, eager to catch a glimpse of the dragon ceremony—and the destiny it would unveil.
