Eryx is a young man of mystery, born of fire and tragedy, with powers that have always lingered beneath the surface. At fifteen, he is tall and lean, his dark hair wild and his amber eyes glowing with an intensity that mirrors the flame within him. Raised in a distant village by foster parents who never spoke of his origins, Eryx knows little of his true heritage, except that something about him is different. He's always felt an unspoken connection to the fire, sensing its heat in moments of intense emotion, though he cannot control it. At times, when anger or fear consumes him, the very air around him seems to burn, and the ground beneath his feet cracks with latent energy.
The villagers speak in hushed tones of a legendary fire-wielder, a figure who could summon the flames themselves. Eryx's foster parents often whispered of this hero, their voices filled with a mix of awe and fear. But he never suspected that this mythical figure had anything to do with him-until the day his powers erupted in a moment of crisis, revealing the truth he'd never known.
Eryx's skin is marked by scars-faint burns that never heal fully, signs of his unpredictable abilities. He's spent years trying to understand why he's different, why he can make the air burn, why his hands always feel like they're holding heat that refuses to fade. Despite his confusion, he is determined to find answers. The flames inside him, wild and untamed, call to him, but he has yet to discover their true source. He knows that his life is bound to something far greater than himself, but the missing pieces remain just out of reach.
What Eryx doesn't know is that the flame within him is a gift-and a curse-from Kaelith, the Lord of Flame, his father. Kaelith's fire runs through his veins.The truth of his lineage is a mystery that has yet to unfold. As Eryx embarks on a journey to discover who he truly is, he will face the truth of his origins, the power he has inherited, and the responsibility that comes with it.
