The Lords of Mana

[Reido]

A world, distressed. Magic rules over everything. Fire, water, wind, earth, death, life, the 6 elements coincide to create our lives. If even one of these elements were to disappear our lives would be thrown into utter chaos. But what if they all disappear? Our heroes, two young lads from the same town, are here to make sure that does not happen.

Anthori, a young Berserker (Swordsman - Fire) from the town of Iriganshi.

Jarei, a Pyromancer (Spellcaster - Fire) from the town of Iriganshi.

Both of them must embark on a dangerous journey through many lands to defeat the evils of all the land.
They will become the greatest the world has ever known if they can.
They will become....

The Lords of Mana.

Chapter 1 -- Ashes to Ashes

The two young ones frolic in the fields of Iriganshi. They know not what waits ahead of them, but it will be a moment for all-time.

Anthori: "You can't catch me, Jarei! I'm too fast for you!"
Jarei: "I can if I feel like it! Flaming Dash!!!"

Just then, flames enveloped Jarei's feet and he slammed head first into Anthori.

Anthori: "Ow! What do you think you're trying to do, kill me?"
Jarei: "Oh cool it silly I was just playing around."
Anthori: "Well that hurt! I can play around too you know! Infernal Bolt!"

Flames are conjured to Anthori's hand and he pushes them directly into Jarei's chest.

Jarei: "Ahhh! That hurts, Anthori!"
Anthori: "My thoughts exactly!"

Two young lads.... foolish if not pure idiotic. They are not ready for the upcoming news....
As they return to the town... they see smoke in the distance...

Jarei: "Anthori, what's that smoke?"
Anthori: "Probably just the town flame... wait a second..."
Both: "THE TOWN'S ON FIRE!?!"

They both run as fast as possible while chanting spells to make their speed increase so they can make it in time to save their town... but it is not enough...
The town has been incinerated.

Jiro: "Mwahahahahahaha! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust! Burn! BURN! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Anthori: "You son of a BITCH!!!"

Anthori charges head first into Jiro, unable to contain his anger. As he reaches Jiro he thrusts his sword at him. Jiro dodges it easily.

Jiro: "You have no idea who or what you're dealing with, kid! Go get burned!"
Anthori: "You'll pay for what you've done!"

Just then a flame flew by Anthori's head and into Jiro's chest. Jarei had been casting a spell the entire time. And just as the flame made contact, Jiro's entire body was set aflame as well.

Jiro: "AHHH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME! YOU LITTLE PUNK! YOU'LL PAY FOR THISS......"

Jiro fell to the ground, burned to death. Even the strongest Pyromancers can't stand the heat of their body being entirely aflame.

Jarei, having caused the man's death, feels proud of himself. But in his arrogance he forgets about the burning town and is caught in the fire...

Anthori: "JAREI! YOUR FOOT IS ON FIRE!"
Jarei: "AHHHH!!"

....foolish, young, and arrogant.
