Elementals: Trial By Fire
After a year of grueling training at the prestigious Mando Academy, Arthur finally feels physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared to help the people of Royalen. He’s stronger, sharper, and more skilled than ever before. But beneath the discipline and strategy lies a burning desire for vengeance. He hasn’t forgotten the day his parents were murdered. Now, with all he’s learned, Arthur is ready to step into the field—not just to protect the people of Royalen, but to hunt down those responsible for destroying his family.
Yet despite his progress, Arthur finds himself constantly restrained. Joseph Krinn, the Academy’s stoic and secretive director, refuses to approve his deployment. No matter how prepared Arthur feels, Krinn insists he’s not ready. As the months drag on, doubt begins to creep in. Is Krinn truly trying to protect him, or is he hiding something?
Arthur’s suspicions are confirmed when Krinn finally summons him to a private meeting. There, he reveals a truth that shakes Arthur to his he knows the name of the group responsible for his parents’ deaths, the Black Hand, and may have a lead on their whereabouts. But what stings even more is Krinn's revelation about them all along. Since the day Arthur’s family was slaughtered, alongside Arthur’s brother, Evan, he’s kept the truth hidden.
Enraged by the truth and tired of waiting, Arthur defies orders and leaves the Mando Academy to hunt down his parents’ killer himself. With his loyal friends, Jackon, a smart-mouthed Air Elemental, and Scarlet, a highly military-trained Earth Elemental, at his side, and a mysterious stowaway in tow, they’re led by Arthur’s weapons instructor, Malcolm. Their Hanta, an independent city-state known as “The Pit,” a lawless haven of crime, corruption, and rival Elemental gangs.
But Hanta is more than they bargained for.
As tensions erupt and the city spirals into chaos, Hanta becomes a battleground, sealed off from the outside world and ruled by its ruthless laws and the Black Hand. Amid the violence, Arthur’s powers begin to unravel. A Storm brews inside him, wild and untamed, threatening to devour what remains of his sanity. With every fight, he grows stronger, but also more unstable.
As vengeance draws closer, Arthur must confront a chilling will he still be himself when it’s over? Or will the Storm within consume him before he can protect those he loves?
To save his friends and honor his family, Arthur may have to choose between who he is... and what he's becoming.
