Burning In Gold

A handful of people were the only survivors when the earth was absolutely shattered and destroyed by the rage of Lyssa, the goddess of balance and justice. Volante, the Great wise magician of the wind elementals had secretly let the survivors through the portal of Harmonia, where they could create a new world if and only if they lived with peace and harmony amongst each other. Volante gave everyone equal powers that he had in himself but a few people were mistakenly exposed to the magically unstable Sun in the land of Harmonica and their skin absorbed the golden light, making them glow like balls of fire and hence, the untouched ones refused to acknowledge them in their tribes, fearing they might result fatal.

Volante consulted his elder brother, Helios, who specialized as a Fire elemental and he agreed to make a separate and hidden land only for the 'exposed' ones to live and prosper in. He gave them his powers and named their land 'Solterraria' and made them believe that 'Volantesia' was only a folklore. The only deal was to never let the two tribes amalgamate as it may wreak chaos in Harmonica too.

Aquilo's future was brighter than anyone in the great tribe of Volantesia, the sacred tribe of the Wind elementals. As the years had passed, the tribe had well prospered except one mishap of losing their best "Flight man" who was the brother of the present ruler called Anemos. Aquilo had always been wondering why his uncle went missing and why had their rules been stricter than before. Searching for his answers, he stumbled upon the forbidden land of mythical Solterraria and immediately got the answer as to why the two times can never connect. But also brought back the deeply tempting memory of the girl he saw burning in gold...
