Chapter 1
The air in the valley was fresh with morning dew, and the village of Hanazari buzzed quietly with life.Hidden among the the mountains . Was home to the most powerful ninja clan the five nations has ever known.
In the small wooden house near the waterfall edge a girl with ocean blue eyes sat across - legged on a rock .Her hair long , black like silk , shimmered under the sun .She was only twelve, yet there wS something ancient in her gaze . Her name was sayra.
"Again" her father barked from behind,his voice echoed like thunder.
Sayra rose and performed the hand seal once more . This time , the ground beneath her rippled like a wave . Tiny stones lifted and danced around her before falling.
Her father, Master Ronin ,the Earth Element Grandmaster of the ninja clans , Crossed his arms and nodded "better".But still unbalanced, you're trying to use your mother's flow with my force .The two elements don't mix easily.
Sayra pouted , "Maybe I'm just different"
From the door way , her mother laughed softly.She wore a flowing robe that seemed to move like water itself.Hsr skin was dark and warm like the soil after rain , her eyes glowing with quiet magic.
"She's not different.She is special, "her mother whispered , kneeling beside sayra and placing a hand over her chest."The power inside you it's not ready yet .But when it awakens , the world will feel it.
Sayra smiled.For a moment everything everything felt perfect .Her baby brother cooed in a woown cradle inside.Her older brother Kaien, trained in the courtyard , with other young worriers.The village was peaceful ,safe.
But peace is silence before a storm .That night the moon rose blood -red.
Sayra woke to screams. Outside flames , devouted rooftops. Worriers fall not to enemies but to their own , Uncle Rykaan her father's brother , stood at the heart of it all wearing black armor streak with fire.you were never worthy ,Ronin !".Rykaan shouted as he crashed sayra s father .The clan belongs to me.
"TRAITOR "Ronin roared, fist coated in earthlight slamming Rykaan back with a wave of stone.
Sayra s mother grabbed her hand .Take your brother , run don't stop running .
Sayra hesitated . "What about".
No time her mother touched her forehead , whispering a spell a wave of water surrounded the her body like a shield . "You are the last hope now ."
Sayra grabbed the small bundle -- her baby brother and ran into the woods . Behind her the house collapsed. Flames reflated in her eyes as everything she loved turn to ash .
She didn't see what happened to her father , she saw her mother fall to a blade . She heard
Kaien shout her name one last time -- silence .The next thing she remembered was darkness . She woke in a strange room , a woman with kind eyes and warm hands knelt beside her , pressing a wet clothe to her forehead . "You're safe now child ".
A boy about her age stood in the door way , holding a wooden sword . What's" her name "he asked .
Sayra sat up voice trembling . I.....I don't know anymore .
The woman smiled gently. "Then let's give you a new one ". So her second life began , in the city of five powerful clans , where secrets sleep, powers grow and fate waits in silence.
