Back in those days. The sky was azure , the sea was clear and the sakura petals would always rain down to welcome the arrival of a new day in Alanrius. As usual , Scarlet would explore and discover new places from caverns to seas. She was ambitious , cheerful and she was well known as the most kind-hearted lady in Alanrius.
Deep in the sacred forest named Maluvine , a beautiful melody carried by the wind would echo throughout the woods. Rumor had it that the melody was the sound made by the trees but in reality , no one had ever gone that deep into the forest. Therefore , Scarlet decided to set foot in it. As she went deeper into the wood , the melody gradually grew louder but the air grew thinner , making it harder for her to move on. Just then she saw a red orb that reflected the dull light from the sun to an almost blinding effect.
The second she got hold of the orb , she was oozing with energy which she had never felt before. Her magic power had improved tremendously. She wielded her fire effortlessly even her single breath could clear out the mist which was there for decades. In that moment she was overwhelmed with terrible ecstasy at the content of her magic and thus , fell victim to the undeniable power. Her soul was consumed by an insatiable hunger as "she" returned to Alanrius.
Despite the warm welcome from the guards and people on her safe return , Scarlet cast a pool of lava that engulfed half of the land. As she made her way to the palace , buildings were burn down and innocent lives were taken by the vicious lava as it overcame even the water protection from the guard.
Soon the message reached the ears of Alanrius's queen Minese and king Lucas , Scarlet's parent . They hesitated for awhile but due to the situation Lucas, the wise man , summoned the grizzly bear to join in the fight while Minese brought forth her pet pixie to cease the destruction.
In the battle , the queen and king created a shield surrounding them and those who still remained. The guards acted as decoys to buy time for the pixie and the bear to make their final move.Pixie fluttered around swiftly with the help of her wings which were similar to that of a dragonfly's and dealt a direct and fatal magical blows on Scarlet. Grizzly bear struck Scarlet's head with immense force.
To everyone's shock their attempts were futile. It became harder to maintain the shield . The flame burnt down the protectors of Alanrius. As they fell , lifeless , the flame slowly devoured their souls.By the time Scarlet awakened herself from the orb's power,it was too late. Her foolishness had taken away all of her precious things. For the first time in her teenage life , she shed a tear.
Ever since that day the orb of wrath has been missing but its melody still echoes in the heart of Scarlet.
