K. Brace yourself.
The world is divided into four tribes: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Most people have magical abilities, mostly based on nature and their specific element (*coughavatarcough*), but a few (called aumurs) do not have magical powers. Throughout history, the aumurs were considered less than human (like, they believed that it was a birth defect or something to not have magic).
All humans (including aumurs) have souls. A few members of the fire tribe (called soul reapers) have the ability to sense souls and steal them from others. The most powerful members of a certain tribe are called sages. They have souls that give off a stronger reading to soul reapers than most people. Aumurs cannot be sages.
Recently (about 20 years ago) they were given political power in a new world order (the first governmental body to have power over all four tribes and the aumurs). The leader (of the soul reapers and the government) was corrupt, and one day the leader killed all the other members and his soul reaper army took control of the government.
The main character, Darren, son of the aumurs' leader, has a soul as powerful as a sage. The leader of the fire tribe wants to kill him and use his soul for a powerful spell. So he tries to kill Darren, and fails... somehow. Darren is forced to live as a fugitive.
Sorry I had to barrage you with all that info.
Things I need help on:
- IDK how the heck Darren escaped the aforementioned bad guy
- This was based off a Pokemon fanfic I never got to writing, in which the Main Character had a brother. Darren doesn't have a bro, but it would probably be a good idea to give him one. What do you think?
