The Uprising Hero

Chapter 2: The Family Tree and Meeting Up



It was mid-day at Zarion City. A typical day at Valorheart chamber. Around the training field of the house were two identical individuals. A middle aged with a fully grown beard wearing an all black coat and shirt as being the butler of the household. Beside him was a young girl between the ages of 5-8 years. With dark long raven hair and red crimson eyes. Around them were several craters created by her due to her training sections with the butler. A wooden dummy was right before her as she was about to her unique trait as one of the most powerful Valorheart in the household.

???(6 years): *Arm already stretched aiming for the wooden dummy say the phrase…* …. "FIRE FLARE''….

Her palm ignited into mixed unique crimson red and raven dark flames as she shoots powerful blazing hot flames towards the dummy creating an explosion

[BOOOM!!]

The dust was cleared as there was no trace of dummy but left a crater behind at the attack. The butler was surprised yet again from her remarkable display of her flames. She turned facing the other side as she walks towards the exist.

Butler: *In his composure* Astonishing performance Miss Ellen. At this rate, you'll be on pair among your older siblings. Even with your great ancestor 'Legend'…

She walked pass him with cold and emotionless expression on her face as the wind slightly caresses her majestic posture.

Ellen (6 years): *Coldly replied* …..I don't need any compliments….

[P.O.V]

There are four children in the Valorheart family and Ellen is the third child. She awaken her power immediately she was born. Ever since she was born, she inherited the ''FIRE FLARE'' from her mom known as the "FIRE WITCH". It was so powerful that mom had to seal some of her abilities. Due to that, Ellen paid the price in losing all of her emotions on both her parents and siblings. At a young age, she became one of the prodigy in the history of mankind as they proclaimed for her to be…

[FLASHBACK]

Just back then as she was a kid, she was then introduced to a dying mother carrying her baby recently born laying right beside her on the bed at Valorheart Mansion. Her long blonde hair and blue irises which was once bright but now dim as her life begins to swiftly leaves bit by bit. To her surprise he saw Ellen beside with a blank expression but it never mattered to her as she gave the best smile she could think of but it was weak. Finally she called out her name..

Mother (???): *weakly smiles* Ellen my child…even thou *coughs*... We don't usually talk but can you please for-fill my selfish desire as a mother….

Ellen (6 years): *stares at her knowing her state* ... what is it you want me to for-fill…

Mother (???): Please….*stares at her directly into the eyes of Ellen* Can you try and get along with my son for me. Is the only thing I desire for you and my child.

A baby then began to cry besides the dying mother with dark raven hair and a smallish type body. The dying mother gave the crying baby to Ellen also giving out a confused look, clueless on what she was doing. The baby the opened his dark raven irises staring at Ellen's cold impression.

Baby (???): *slowly grabbed Ellen's finger as he stopped crying letting out cute giggles of his own*

That made Ellen go completely off guard. It gave out a spark into Ellen's eyes. Sparkles everywhere as she could daydream on her carrying her little baby brother. Her heart kept on pounding not knowing what these feelings are. It was like something within her has been lifted for a very long time. She felt as if it is her responsibility to protect the baby forever with kindness, care and love. That was her first time she had her heart emotion giving to someone and smiled to the dying mother. Before she could take her last breath, she named her child "Eric Valorheart" as death finally took her the land of living.

Years gone, both of them became much closer than before. Ellen only shows affection to her little brother Eric. Apart from him, no one else. This was something called 'love for a sibling'. Both of them usually play together, eat together, sleep together and even made a promise to never leave each other side together with "Kevin Firestorm". But not after "Eric" was diagnosed in not obtaining "KAI".

Ellen (11 years): *suddenly slaps him across his face* YOU USELESS EXCUSE OF A BROTHER!!

Eric (5years): *surprised due to her reaction* … Sis-!?

Ellen (11 years): DON'T CALL ME THAT!!! *Yells at Eric*

Eric (5 years): *Tries to approach her* B-But…I-!?

Suddenly a wall of mixed crimson red and dark raven flames appeared preventing him from getting close to her.

Ellen (11 years): *glares* You are nothing but an abomination. A mistake for being a Valorheart in the first place.

She turns around showing her back Eric who is in the verge of tears in his eyes.

Ellen (11 years): And I wish you were never been born..

Surprised by Ellen's speech, he was shocked and hit to the core where all he could think of was betrayal. His father neglected him as a son, his siblings never paid attention to him but only use him as a target practice as an excuse to use their abilities. His school mates see him as nothing but a reject and a mistake in their Academy. His friends broke their trust to him and now the only person that see him as a person, a human with feelings, a family and friend that he taught they could be. He has finally woke up to reality. At such a young age, he has never felt like this before.

He rushed towards his room as little droplets of tears flew out of his eyes. [BANG!!] Shutting the door leaving Ellen all alone at the halls of Valorheart Mansion leaving her alone behind her fire wall. Ellen kneels down whiles covering her hands on her face in tears and regrets on what she did.

Ellen (11 years): *begins to cries* What have I done….

*TIMESKIP*

At the central city of Zarion. A prestigious school is found known as ''Arcane Academy''. Within the school a young maiden could be seen. Her uniform being yellow outer coat and a raven blue inner shirt and her skirt matching her shirt showing her curves as one of the majestic prodigy in the school Ellen Valorheart.

During her pass years she trained without taking a single break. Improving and polishing her skills in fire power, swordsmanship, and especially... "KAI". This kept on affecting her statues on both the Mansion and her current school "Arcane Academy" with astonishing performance in control of her 'Fire Flare', swordsmanship and Kai. With that, she earned the title "BLAZING QUEEN" growing to one of the top ranks in Arcane Academy.

The fight incident happened at the halls of the Academy. She was the observing the situation at hand and realised it was plotted by 'Kevin Firestorm' and his goons. They all left after causing harm to their victim who is currently weak at this moment. She instantly knew the victim was as he was well known in the Academy. The only student in purple uniform without having 'Kai'. His dark messy dark raven hair gave it away on who he was facing the other side of the school exist. She tried reaching to call out his name but quietly watches him leave the school.

Ellen: *clenches her fist with regret * I'm sorry…

[Midnight hour: 12:00a.m]

Currently at the Valorheart Mansion, the night begins to shine from the celebration of the 'Legend' defeating 'Demon Lord Ligct'. The evening was calm as the cool breeze moves swiftly to Ellen's room. Her room being so bright with all things she needed as the prodigy of the family. The breeze finally filled up her room allowing her to have a peaceful cozy comfort night.

[AAAAHHHHHH!!!]

A loud scream pierced through the tranquility of the evening, jolting Ellen from her slumber. The scream echoed again, unmistakable coming from somewhere with the confines of the Mansion. She soon recognised the scream knowing is coming from.

Ellen: *in a worried tone*… Eric…

Eric is currently lying on the floor whiles staring at the hooded black rag figure before him. The hooded figure remained silent concealing intentions and motives beneath the anonymity of the night. Its posture exuded an unsettling blend of anticipation and eerie calmness, creating an air of impending doom. Eric's heart raced and felt a shiver run down to his spine. His mind raced with whirlwind of emotions-fear, confusion and concern on what to do next.

Each step the hooded figure takes, Eric crawls back to safety. With each passing moment, he was drawn near a lamp soon realises this was his moment.

Without a second thought, he grabbed the lamp and threw it towards the hooded figure hopping to make at least some damage. 

The object phased through him ended up hitting a nearby wall. [BANG!]. This made Eric fear grew more and more. He was scared and terrified on the sudden outcome as the mysterious hooded figure got closer to him

Hooded figure (???): Hey there, are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you 

The voice was soothing, filled with concern rather than menace. Eric looked up, wide-eyed and still frightened. The figure knelt down, its face hidden within the depths of the hood as his red crimson irises glows. 

Eric: *still frighten* Who… who are you? And what do you want from me?

Hooded figure (???): Oh right… where are my manners…

The figure slowly took of his hood surprising Eric who soon realises on who he was. He remembered at the halls of Valorheart Mansion, there was a picture of a young handsome man with long blonde hair and red crystal irises. His jaw and bone structure fits the same description of the figure standing before him. And a smile is the same as the picture on the wall beside him.

Eric: *stares at him in surprise disbelief* … Wait… you're…

Arthur: I'm Arthur Valorheart. As many people and enemies through out the history oppose to me as… "Legend"
