The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 12
Advertisement
Feng Yun picked up the phone and saw it was a call from her secretary. She picked up the called and after listening to the other side, she said only one word.
"No." in a cold and resolute voice. She turned the phone silent and then continued to describe the method to interact with the elements. She asked Yang Dao to close his eyes and focus his mind on his own breathing, then sense the flow of the air inside his body. Then urge the air inside to interact and manipulate the air outside. The manipulation will be very minimal at first. It can be said to be almost negligible. Feng Yun said, "Young Master, the process will be slow. I remind you not to give up or feel depressed."
Yang Dao replied, "Sister Yun, I understand. Don't worry." he then closed his eyes and relaxed as he sat in the chair. This interaction with elements did not require him to sit down in a specific position. All he needed was to focus on breathing. He inhaled a deep breath. A cold wind from the surroundings flew inside his nostrils. He sensed as the cold air flowed through his windpipe. The air then filled his lungs. The next step was the most difficult barrier to cross. It would take people a very long time and determination to sense the air mixing in the blood. The blood flowing inside the Human body represented the water element. As a beginner, it was difficult to sense one element, let alone sensing it when it is covered with the second element.
The elements could mix and create the magic of life. The four elements Air, Water, Earth, and Fire were present inside every living entity on the planet as Breath, Blood, Bones, and Heat respectively. This cooperation of the four elements was very complex and mystical. It was almost impossible to understand the reason behind this cooperation because there four elements also have contradictory properties. So life was a very magical and scientific thing at the same time.

Perceiving an element covered or mixed with another element may be difficult for others, but Yang Dao was the blessed one. This thing, he could do it in his sleep. Feng Yun was observing the situation from the sidelines. When she saw Yang Dao concentrating, her eyes flashed with joy and respect. Only after ten seconds, her joy turned to surprise, then after a minute, the surprise turned to shock. Then after ten minutes, her worldly beliefs shattered. The air inside the cabin slowly picked up the pace.
The standstill air was now blowing, but it was only strong enough to gently stroke her skin, still miles away from implying the terrifying power contained within the air element. But this blowing wind was a sign that Yang Dao has taken a step in the world of Elementalists and now all he needed was diligent practice and improvement consistently. Feng Yun was very satisfied with the development of her Young Master. She did not want to hinder his practice and quietly came outside the cabin.
This world of elemental power and laws was very simple. It was only that not everybody knew about the existence of such a divergent group of people walking beside them. One only needed to interact with the elements calmly and must have the patience to interpret the response by the elements. Few people could do this also, the stage Yang Dao unlocked would take people months if not years, that is when they have a good foundation and background. Otherwise, you can only watch as others pass by you.
This universe also had people who acted against the Elementalists. These people were called the Enhanced. These people were 'created' by other humans as lab rats. Yes, these people were products of human gene enhancement programs. A lot of rogue scientists under the influence of their lunatic leader 'Omega' formed an organization called 'New Dawn'. They blatantly conducted genetic research. After the initial stages when they encountered success they asked for human -volunteers.

Later, this organization vanished from the face of the planet. Then, after five decades of hiding, they came back stronger than ever before. The secret of their strength lied in the mastered formula of the human genetic code. They developed a vaccination to enhance the human body's potential. This vaccine was called 'the Nector'. This vaccine was not mass-produced, it was only given to those who were designated useful assets by the organization. The result of the vaccination also varied from person to person. The Elementalists also had their own forces to stop these people from messing with the natural flow of life. In fact, this vaccine was just a way for those who failed in the way of nature or were too desperate.
It was unknown how much time had passed when Yang Dao opened his eyes. The boy looked around and did not find Feng Yun, but he could sense that she was close by. He sat in the 'Throne' patiently while he glanced around the office. On the desk, in front of him, a bright red file caught his interest. cautiously picked it up and started reading the content. In the beginning, his gaze was fine but as kept reading the gaze turned cold. The air inside the room started swirling. The object trembled a little, the intensity of the air was enhanced by Yang Dao's emotional state. The cabin door opened and Feng Yun walked inside. Yang Dao kept his vision locked on the content of the file. He spat only one word, "Explain" today was the first day he experienced the power of nature inside him and also when he felt like exploding from rage.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
