Prologue

"Two thousand years ago, war was inevitable. Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Energy. That was all people saw past them with just a small glare. Humans, Aliens, and the "Power-driven People" were up and about nonstop. You woke up and then died; that was the life of the past.

Years later, the elements split into different clans: Nakamorian(Fire), Native(Ice), Cassoule(Earth), Aoi(Wind), Motsubi(Lightning) and Yakuza(Energy). As each clan individually united, they built nations that grew as one. But, one warrior, responsible for the jointure of all species, was the Best 'Human' to live.

However, the aliens saw him as a threat and, as a result, summoned war on all the clans. The humans both had malevolent associations for eighteen years but lost their city and the Best Human. The aliens dominated and ruled over the humans; nevertheless, the Power-driven were exiled to duel among these associations.

Some lived, and some died. Some started to live among the humans. And these power-driven people were known as... "RONINS!"

"Whoa, what a messed-up story..." A young Ronin said, hanging himself upside down on a tree trunk. "Too bad they don't have someone to stop this." He thought to himself.

Seto Kaname is a ten-year-old Ronin who grew up eager to learn more about Legon City and one day become a Guild member of F5. He was born on the first apprehension, and that fateful year changed his life entirely. He was born with a mythical prowess and visionlessness. His twin sister Noriko lost her voice and hearing, so due to both of them missing a sense of the other, they depended on each other heavily. "My name is Seto Kaname...and today is the day I'll kill myself."

Noriko sat down and watched Seto continuously attempt to hang a rope onto the tree. "Almost there...one more time."

As much as she tried to help, he kept on missing it. And due to her love for him, she wanted no part in helping him. "Wow, Noriko. Are you sure this is the right tree? I missed the branch for the 40th time!"

He fibbed on the ground and began sulking. "Just let me end my life already!"

He grabbed the rope and wrapped it around his throat but did not dare to do it himself. "...I can't, but at the same time, I don't want to go on living like this. I dream of becoming a hero one day...but I can't even see the people cheering for me. What's the point at this rate?"

Noriko came close and hugged him. They stood like that for a bit until the radio turned back on.

"Welcome everyone to Central C news! I'm your host, Austin Sapphire, the leader of the Sapphire Frosts, with my adorable daughter Cloe. She'll take reigns of the studio when she's older, am I right, sweetie?"

"YEAH!"

"That's the spirit. Well, back to the topic, I have some great news for all the youngsters broadcasting worldwide. Mister Skiros and I will be recruiting new people to our guilds!"

A spark flew past Seto's eyes as he heard that.

"All you need to do is show up tomorrow at Norwich to get tested, and we'll welcome all those ready and worthy of the position. I can't wait to see you all there! This was Austin Sapphire, signed out."
