Alessa is tortured by her unclear past. She only trusts her best friend, Tracy. When all the knots start to unravel, she wonders whether she is cut out to be an elementalist and struggles to restrain her haunting nightmares. But she has a quest, one...
"Well, I'm sure you two have many questions but we will have to explain everything from the very beginning. Alessa dear, you can talk to Derrick privately after you are settled in," said the woman at the desk. "It's Dale actually miss Katherine," he said while leaning against the unlit fireplace. "Yes yes that's what I said. Now, to get down to business. I'm sure Sienna here has already told you that this place is Allegra and we are the Allegen. We are divided into five main sectors, each with a different basic element which then branches out into many different areas." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. What now?" Tracy said, overwhelmed. Miss Katherine sighed," I guess there is no need to rush about. Take a seat." As we sat, she turned to the two other people in the room and asked them to get someone to make two rooms ready for us. One was wearing baby pink and one in stark white. They walked out before we could take a good look at them. Then, she turned to us," All settled? Good. Now then, to explain, we are the Allegen as Sienna may have already told you. We have different abilities according to which element we're attached to. There are eight different possible inherited elements, seven of which are actual elements of nature. " " That is, fire, water, earth, air, lightning, ice and animals. Each of these have minor variations which any person can specialise in. Like for fire, there is also heat and for water there is also rain and for earth there is plants and trees and...". The old man raised his eyebrows at her," Right, I'm going off track. Anyway, the eighth element is like a branch called seasons. It has summer,autumn winter and spring. But in the seasons branch, all the other 7 elements can contribute except for autumn. So, the original season elementalists are all autumn elementalists. Master Silas here, is the head of seasons, "she said, pointing to the old man. I glanced at Dale unconsciously. Then recovering myself I said," So I'm guessing the colours are a kind of code to identify a speciality?"" Of course it is. Here, take this." said Katherine, handing us a sheet of paper with a diagrammatic representation of the colours and the elements.

"Now Dennis," "It's Dale" "Right, Dale, will take you two on a tour of the city and then show you to your rooms." Dale led us out of the study as katherine shooed us away, leaving us with a thousand questions.
