Rejects: A Sorrowful Flame (First flop, rewrite)
Alexander J. Khet was born different from his family, with a deep fascination for the sea and its inhabitants. He lacked the typical ego and flair common among his people, making him an outcast among his own kin. To his family, he was an eyesore... but he was blood nonetheless. That is until he awakened his flame.
A bright blue flame reminiscent of the depths of the sea. He was ecstatic, hoping his parents, his father specifically, would finally see him as something more than trash. But that was not the case...
The Khet family and the residents of Emberia City were outraged. To them, his azure flames were the inverse of all their red spectrum stood for. Where they saw raw strength and power in their signature crimson flame, they saw a fluidity that matched that of water in his.
And to add insult to injury, his deep blue flames, although strong, were hotter than his body could handle, burning him whenever he activated them. Stripped of his noble rights, he was chased away and brought to the brink of death by his creator...
His father.
Before the killing blow landed upon him, he jumped into that same sea he had admired all his life.
On that day, 777 HD 7 years after his birth, Alexander J. Khet was killed, burnt beyond recognition, and drifting upon the ocean floor...
Nine years later, the underwater city, Atlas, sent a batch of their most talented students to study at the world-renowned Vyron Academy. And among them lay Jhet Osborn, adopted son of the noble Osborn family. Armed with an azure flame, something unheard of for a citizen of the Atlas empire, Jhet plans to live a peaceful life at Vyron, not interested in conflicts from his past.
But when he spots familiar faces among the crowd of new students, bustling staff, and doting parents, he will realize that escaping his past... is nothing more than a pipe dream.
