Shadows Of The Forest
Kyla is a young woman with hidden abilities. When her village is attacked by shadows and she is captured, a light comes to her aid, urging her to venture into the mysterious forest. In the forest she meets attractive deities who divulge that she is the first human in a long time to threaten the balance of powers and she is the sole individual able to save both the mortal and immaterial worlds, as long as she can master her powers and keep her feelings under control. Living with the Four elemental gods seems like an easy task, but it brings its share of...trouble?

She paused, the dark energy in her hand faltering for a moment. "Your powers are not yours to control," she whispered, her eyes glinting with malice. "They are mine by rights."
"And why is that?" I asked, feigning ignorance. "Because you desire power and control? What makes you believe that you are worthy of taking what does not belong to you?"
