Y/n's Pov

I groggily opened my eyes and surveyed my surroundings. Everything was a bit blurry at first, but soon I realised I was in my room. Attempting to sit up, I felt aches all over my body. After a second try, I managed to get up.

I tried to figure out how I got here and it hit me. Tears welled up as I realised what I'd done. "I killed him, My powers again took another life"  I sobbed, remembering the terrible act.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it wasn't your fault," a comforting voice reassured as it entered the room. I glanced up to find the Mystery Man, my guardian during my time in India. He sat beside me on the bed, offering reassurance.

I was shocked to see him but relieved as well. "Y-you here? How did you come here, H-how did you find me?" He chuckled "I came here from the plane and i was following you because i knew you would be doing something silly"

I furrowed "What do you mean?" He sighed and asked "Where is that note which i left on your coffee table before you left for the airport?" Nervously, I gulped and stammered, 'I l-lost...' 'Lost it?' he asked, furrowing his brow. I nodded anxiously. "i knew it, i knew it that you will lose it, that's why i followed you, but i was too late to reach"

"Huh? How do you got to know that i will lose it" I curiously ask "You're such a curious cat just like your father" He chuckled "I have the power to sense the future, that's how I knew."

I awed, He stood and walked to the window by my bed "Don't blame yourself for anything that happened, now or in the past. It wasn't your fault." Tears again welled up as i said "But i was the reason, why Dad was killed"

he sighed "Your dad was indeed killed by someone same as you but you were too young to even protect yourself, your existence isn't a curse to anybody, it's just your power is too powerful that everyone wants it but almighty has given it you, you are the chosen one "

I sniffed and asked "Ch-chosen one?" he nodded and said "Now that you seem ready to know the truth, let me tell you everything"  

"Long, long ago, four dragons ruled the world - Water, Earth, Air, and Fire. Everyone believed they were all-powerful and worshipped them for keeping everything in balance. Among all the powers Fire was the most destructive but the calm one, but as days passed by the greed of having that power in each creature increased causing wars and battles worldwide" 

He paused and then said "One day the fire dragon gets fed up by the battles and emerges from the lava, unleashing its fury, destroying everything in its path. It gets so fierce that It spares nothing, not even its fellow dragons. No mercy was shown not even for humans or nature."

"The chaos grew so much that GOD had to intervene to save his creation. Using a blazing orange chain, he captured the fire dragon and imposed a punishment. The dragon was confined in a small glass box, and its powers were taken away." 

He sat on the bed again, and I faced his back. He shared, 'Humans, in his eyes, were the innocent souls enduring the most destruction. To safeguard them, he granted them special powers. God felt that keeping the fire magic was risky, so he chose a woman for the powers. He believed in a woman's kindness and tenderness, thinking she wouldn't misuse the magic, unlike a man who might be tempted by greed." 

"And with that, the powers get transferred to a woman when one woman with powers passes away and this time it is you" I was speechless, I never thought that I would be given the responsibility of such a dangerous yet powerful power.

I had so many questions buzzing in my head, but one kept repeating "How does he know about this, and why is he helping me?" I glanced at him, and he was already staring back at me.
