Alurna was used to being a fiery redhead with blood-orange eyes. Suddenly a quick glance at her reflection now showed a calming blue in her eyes that shocked her into silence. Within the world of Avenmor, there are sections divided by various elements called the stellaseors. Of these elements comes Igni, a place of ill-tempered and stubborn people, and where Alurna grew up. Her new reflection hinted at an unfamiliar but similar characteristic to the people of Aquanese, the water stellaseor. Could this be the only unfamiliar similarity, or is there something of her past finally breaking through to her? Nevertheless, when Alurna tries to explain these newfound deviations to her family and friends, they immediately dismiss them.

Yet Avenmor's very own council members let her in on a little secret, which further changes the course of her life. Gradually, she's no longer taking her typical college class; she will have to endure the vigorous expectations of her new hand-to-hand combat classes, leaving Alurna to wonder if she's doing the right thing by leaving her home or if it was never her home to start with.
