In a world governed by six elemental powers, where no one can wield more than two without succumbing to destruction, balance has been the key to survival. But balance is fragile, and chaos is rising. Among the seven ancient families who once protected the world, a prophecy whispers of a Chosen One, a child born with the potential to wield all six powers. Yet this prophecy also brings a shadow—a fear that such power could either save the world or destroy it. The youngest heir of the seven families, a ten-year-old boy, lives unaware of his destiny. Like his six friends, he believes he can wield only two powers, unaware that his extraordinary spiritual strength has already begun to unlock something far greater. His parents and elders, haunted by the prophecy, recognize his unique gift—a bloodline so strong that it could awaken powers beyond comprehension. Their awe is matched by their fear: his potential could make him a savior, or the very force that plunges the world into chaos. When rival magical families, driven by greed and ambition, learn of the boy’s existence, they launch a devastating attack on the seven families, aiming to capture him and exploit his untapped potential. The elders, realizing the magnitude of the threat, make the ultimate sacrifice to protect their descendants. In a desperate act of magic, they send the heirs of each family—including the youngest—to a secret sanctuary, shielding them from the world while ensuring they can train and grow strong. Years pass, and the heirs, now young adults, must emerge from their hidden refuge to confront the chaos overtaking their world. The youngest, still unaware of his true potential, discovers the truth of his lineage and the prophecy that foretells his role as the Chosen One. But the journey ahead is fraught with peril. His ability to wield all six powers defies the natural order, and his spiritual strength makes him a target for those who would manipulate him—or destroy him. Guided by his six companions—four boys and three girls, each carrying their own family’s legacy—the Chosen One must navigate a world on the brink of collapse, uncover the secrets of his powers, and face the terrifying truth of his destiny. Will he restore balance, or will his existence bring the chaos he was born to prevent? In a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the burden of unimaginable power, The Legacy of Seven explores the fine line between savior and destroyer, and the choices that define a hero.

The two men couldn't have looked more out of place on the cold afternoon streets of New Hadepee. The first was a scrawny fellow, no taller than five foot eight, wearing a white shirt marred with ugly reddish-brown stains and a pair of plain tan pants. His companion, by contrast, carried himself with an air of quiet authority—a regal-looking man with a neatly trimmed black beard, wrapped in a great black coat with a red scarf pulled snug around his neck. "I heard the man himself has come back," the one in the stained shirt said, carefully balancing on the curb with his arms outstretched. "Oh? And where did you hear that?" his companion asked, turning his head with amusement to watch the precarious balancing act. "Welp, the sergeant major told me to go down to Olker, so I figured that could only mean he's back," the man in the white shirt replied. "Vistor has close cultural and political ties with the kingdom of Olker. Don't you think it's just a protection job?" the older man in black inquired, a hint of humor in his voice. "Oh, come on, Mang, you know they'd never give someone like me a protection job," the man in the white shirt scoffed, jumping off the curb and spinning around a lamppost. The older man—now known as Mang—came to a halt, reaching into his coat and pulling out an envelope. "Well, Tai, I suppose you're wrong." Mang handed the envelope to him. Tai peeled open the envelope, sliding out the letter and studying it carefully. "Oh wow, so Marlin is marrying the queen of those people?" he asked with a shrug. "She is not a queen. Don't let anyone call her that," Mang snapped. "And if her people weren't so damn difficult, we would have annexed them already." "So we let them succeed but not Gascon? Whose idea was that? They're more like us than those humans are," Tai said, frowning. "Gascon was willing to sell to the Emperor for a small chunk of change," Mang quipped. "The Noctrous family was not." "Ok so what's that matter, all we need is a little persuasion to change their minds? We killed the chief of Gnomandale and sent his stuffed head back to them, then they sold Gnomendale to us. All we need to do to get Olker is beat the hell out of Sylvie and she will sell." Tai folds the letter and places it back into the envelope. "Tai, the people of Vistor don't have the heart to see us beat up the Eladrin people like we did the Gnomes, and plus their Chief tramp Silvye is much too pretty for us to put her head on a stick."  "Welp, it's our loss," Tai muttered, spitting onto the sidewalk. "No, it's not. Not if Chester is back…" Tai frowned. "What's Chester gonna do?" "Last I recall, his fallout with Sylvie wasn't just a petty disagreement. Before he died, he built a fleet of ships and hid them in a cove somewhere. If he wanted revenge, all he'd need is an army." "And who the hell would fight for him?" "The same people who fight for us—the poor." This is a prequel to Then Maker, another story of mine. The writing may feel somewhat outdated compared to my more recent work, but it consists of a series of scenes that occur before the main events of the novel. The description is one of my most recent pieces, which is why it differs in style from the rest of the book.

My name is Charlie, and well I’m an architect. Not many of us remain since mages became a thing and now everyone uses magic to do literally every miniscule task. So, what makes me different? you may ask. What makes this story about me? Well clearly that’s because I am no ordinary architect, or this would be quite the boring tale. This is my recollection, every loss and win that has been acclaimed to me becoming the World’s Best Architect.
