Ethan took a slow, steady breath as his eyes landed on the next glowing lines in the codex.
The heading introduced the Four Primary Elemental Powers of Ascendants: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.
A faint smirk tugged at his lips.
"This is starting to feel like that bald monk's cartoon series," he muttered under his breath, unable to resist the thought even in the middle of something this important.
The codex went on, explaining that each element came with its own set of traits—distinct strengths, natural affinities, and specific weaknesses. None of them were superior to the others, only different.
Ethan's mind stirred with curiosity. 'Do I get to choose my element? Or will it choose me instead?'
The question lingered, but instead of rushing for answers, he focused back on the codex. Line by line, he began reading through the detailed description of each elemental path, eager to learn what made them unique—and which one might call to him.
