"Shut up!!!!" I screamed as my head split from the immense chaos of noise of every kind blasting into my ears, my bones, my very being...
. . .
That was how it all began... like a tidal wave my Kine hit me in a way that I had never expected, but that's jumping ahead just a bit.
My name is Connor Valrsen. I am the son of Lord Bartlett Valrsen, the Father of our noble estate and a 12th generation Pyro Kinetic.
Yes, wow, what a huge shadow to live under!
Anyways, the screaming pain... a kine... here in this world there are many mysteries, but one thing is for sure. For many, there comes a moment in their life when they obtain a special mental ability that has been labeled a Kine.
A Kine gives the person the mental ability to control some aspect of reality... well not control so much as manipulate... my father is a Pyro Kinetic which means he can directly manipulate fire. Our family is known for its might in fighting with fire. Many of my family have gone on to become some of the most renowned soldiers of the Royal Centius Army, Centius is the surname of the ruling family.
There has been no doubt since my birth as the first born of my father that I, too, would join the long lineage of pyro kinetics. I have studied every aspect of the Pyro Kine since I could read and understand what I was reading. I have prepared for it my whole life.
There is no specific age that everyone gets their Kine if they even get one, but it has long since been tradition that on the third day of the third month of the 15th year of the heir's life the awakening will occur.
Usually there is a huge celebration scheduled the eve of that day, but due to current political situations the resources this year have been redirected to those more important matters. The outcome is always the same as my great grandmother told me. She is our oldest living member of our family. She has seen her husband's, son's, and grandson's awakenings. I trust her wisdom as does almost everyone else here in the estate. After all, she'd not been wrong for three generations...
And this is where I'll begin to tell this tale...
'Three more days until my awakening...'
