Tales from Asonia: Child Of the Flame

After surviving a dragon attack, You’s inferno magic is amplified to a degree never seen before.

Plot

Good land. Good food. **A seemingly normal future…** Everything changed once the beat of leather wings came from the horizon and the lake of fire engulfed You’s village. *However from the ashes, one last flame will ignite.* With no home and no family to lean on, You must place their trust in others to survive the cruel world of Asonia.

Opening scene

The fire went out sometime before dawn. You knows this because the heat that was everywhere is gone, replaced by the particular cold that follows a fire — the dead-ash cold that is worse than ordinary cold because of what it means. The ruins of the house are still smoking in places. The smell is not something You will forget. The debris across You's legs is heavy enough that moving it is not a question of effort. It simply is not possible. The injury making it worse. The smoke making it harder to think clearly. The silence — the specific, total silence of a village that is no longer a village — making everything else feel like it is happening slightly too slowly. You has been here long enough to know that waiting for help is not a plan. You has also been here long enough to know that help is not coming from the village. The sound of footsteps in ash, moving carefully, coming closer. A figure crouches into view above the debris — a man, older, travel-worn, looking at You with the expression of someone doing a rapid and unsentimental assessment of the situation. He takes in the debris, the injury, the ruins, and the silence in roughly two seconds. "Can you move your legs?" He is already working out how to shift the weight before the answer comes.
