' peaceful,calming'

"Break her " the female nodded as she stared at the sleeping ethereal

💔
In her head
The moment my mother discovered my first art: earth.The disasters began,yet it was common for young ones to have a little problem with their powers, for they were born without any knowledge of controlling it.

Her story is not the same, her 'mistakes' were enough to get the penalty of death,if she wasn't part of the royal family,that would of been her fate.

Flashback 1

"Mother...i- I am sorry" the 8 year old ethereal said with a shaky breath and wide eyes, a pained and terrified expression on her face.

Before her eyes was the fertile oh that's and evergreen of the forest she called her home, yet now the once colorful homes and trees were broken, the rivers were as dry as dirt but left everything flooded to the upper calf.

She shifted towards her caregivers her father held calm yet serious gaze his light blue eyes intensifying the site ,he looked at ethereal's teary eyes as she clushes the dress she wore ,her mother had a gentle aura which was oozing with disappointment, her aunt? her art was nature and animal, a controversial combination of arts lead to her personality shifting from gentle to rough in near seconds,her face was blank but her eyes held shear anger.

The king, her father Nakibi Omoshiro,softly glared at the child and started walking towards the flames that were consuming the district of Cikena

"ETHEREAL!" her aunt yelled with a calm tone but the true emotion was visible in her movements as she sharply faces me, ethereal's tiny form stumbled back as she noticed a canine tooth when her aunt growled in her direction.

Ethereal looked down,she knew exactly why they held such emotions.She was told countless times that she was not allowed to even think about using her fire art.

Huntress Kami opened her mouth to speak but was hushes by queen Narashis hand on her shoulder, the queen tilted her head towards her child then to the guards that had been surrounded them "take her home" she said softly and ethereal did not fight until she heard a shriek of a scream from behind her.

Ethereal turned her head to see a woman being held back by 3 guard
Thrashing violently " YOU MONSTER!" She cried out as tears ran across her eyes as she tried to get close," YOU DESTROYED MY HOME,The village!,you burned everything!" by now pools apon pools of tears were evident as her eyes had a pink hue to them ,she heard a voice speak behind her mother "Your majesty..."the moment she realized that she had not only destroyed property,but lives aswell
"....27 have died".

That alone was enough,and only a hand full of people truly new that she was part of the royal family.

Before she started attending the public educational system she was kept hidden, the only child the people new of was kiyoshi ,son of huntress Kami.That was until she started school which lead to her trying to prove to her friends that she did have 4 arts, yet they mocked her, some teased and laughed out loud,while others ignored and whispered the untrue for about a year until she finally broke, but she didn't mean it, 'it wasn't intentional' she thought and to her, it really was a blurry picture, all she remembered ware the overwhelming amount of emotions she felt that's all...

After that, an upbringing of riots began that threatened the very people that ruled cikena, to bring vengeance for the lives lost, caused by ethereal, and not to mention that it was illegal by the law of the king for anyone to use the art of fire.

End of flashback

It was ironic how such destruction was caused by her hands and still she was put as the ruler that was burned by the same cause.
