*One Week Later*
It has been a week and the entire northern region has been dragged into a war. Word throughout the land is that a place called the dark region declared war on us. This made me uneasy the entire time because this all happened right after I fled that region.
Some of the surrounding kingdoms, cities, and towns have made alliances but some have stayed to themselves. But the original forsaken and the second one which where I live made an alliance. With our similar army and leaders, we should be an unbreakable wall.
My friends Karr and Aubrey live in forsaken and their parents are chasers so they are going to be involved as well as my family is. The dark region was lead by Dalten and his allies the northern region has no clue as to where this region is. No one has ever left the land before except me.
So I pulled some strings and since my father is Zero I managed to enter some meeting s with some kingdoms, and cities. I filled in everyone pretty much everything I knew about the region. One conversation I had with the leader of Kingdom Narrow was not the smoothest.
In short, the leader didn't believe in a giant water source that leads to other lands. I had to show him proof so I wasted a large amount of energy reaching the edge of the land and back but after I had shown him the proof he abolished and considered helping forsaken.
My mother was busy with the army since she is a current chaser and is trained to fight, so Flora is at a friend/neighbors home. I just became a chaser not too long ago so I am in the war as well as any other.
Currently, I am at home writing letters to some friendly kingdoms, and cities and letting them know the word on the land. After finishing the last letter I headed to the barracks to receive my position in the war. While I was there I ran into Aubrey she said to me,
"Noah this escalated quicker than I suspected."
"I know but from what I know Dalten does not play around," I replied
She then said, "Like yeah to start the war off he attacked and destroyed towns throughout the region."
"Yeah he didn't even hold back, I wonder what he's after," I said
*Dark Region*
Dalten: "Nobles I beg you to tell me how to defeat the child of darkness."
Noble 1: "We already have told you, we can't reveal what must happen it can affect the current outcome."
Noble 2: "Dalten in order for the current course to stay you must go in blind."
Dalten: "I will do anything just tell me."
Main Noble: "Dalten listen closely nothing is going to stop the child of darkness from what he is destined to do."
Dalten: "And what is that?"
Main Noble: "I can say no more."
Dalten: "You guys are really useless, I'm going now I have a war to win, and my first place of interest is the city of Forsaken."
*Noah Narration*
The barracks were full of chasers of all kinds however, I didn't see that many bow chasers. Aubrey and I were waiting for our task to be given to our barrack house. As we waited I was thinking of all the reasons for Dalten to start a war against the entire region.
Aubrey and I haven't seen Karr for some time, we think he's in another barracks. After some time waiting the house leader came out and informed us that a kingdom far in the region has been conquered by our enemy. It seemed Dalten has not made a name for himself.
"He has already taken one down!?" Aubrey said steadily
"Yeah, he's really strong my father said," I replied
"You!" The house leader shouted at me.
"Son of Zero step forward." He said the following.
I walked forward and every eye was on me as I made my way.
"What would you like house leader?" I said calmly
"It's Liam, and word is that your late father has fought this threat before." He replied
"And what of it," I said with an attitudinal tone
"And we need to know our enemy's abilities." He says with the same tone
I then say "Even if I told you it won't change anything he's too strong."
"And how do you know so much about his strength?" He asked
"Because I fought him and he didn't do much but he came strong."
The crowd tensed up and I walked out of the barracks. Aubrey followed and asked,
"What was that about?"
"Sorry, but when someone brings my father up I- it doesn't matter I have to worry about Dalten."
I then walk off towards the fountain and I ran into Karr he said, "Hey, Noah have you seen Aubrey?" And I walked right past him ignoring his question. He runs behind me and asks, "Hey what's wrong Noah?" I looked at him with my eyes activated and wiped his memory of the last five minutes and walked away. I thought to myself, "Why does everyone talk about him... Why?!"
Something in me snapped and at this point, I couldn't hold it that well. I walk past the market and an explosion happens and the flame was everywhere. People were burning up in the flames and I used my water ability and try to put it out but the flame began picking up. Then the flame turned a pink color and it also seemed as if the flame was absorbing my water. At this point, if water wasn't good enough then I needed to use a rift.

*Dalten's Narration*
I arrive in forsaken, this cursed place should burn to the ground. I have my eyes on Zero's son and I commanded my ally Pourcel to emit flames in his direction. He can't put them out they are immune to all opposing elements. It seems he is trying to put her flames out but there is no hope her flames can't be put out by his regular water.
From my view my line of thought he looks to be using his rift again, curse him that might work.
"Pourcel increase the flame NOW!!!"
