Prologue: The Fairn Family Dispute

"I wish, so much, that I could make a joke. I wish I could lift those tears from your eyes. But you don't deserve that anymore. The only thing you deserve is the look of pain and regret when I pull this trigger..."

In this world, every soul and every breathing human has an element. Some are very common, like fire and water. Some are rare and dangerous, like shadow and storms. After many years of battling with horrific accidents from uncontained energies, the government has mandated that every child be embedded with a chip that detects energy levels and given specific medications to nullify the energy.
When Karma Alchemy and Rebel Achilles meet in Arrowt High Security Prison, Karma finds that, unfortunately, they're more alike than different. Karma eventually learns to, well, tolerate him enough to start to consider him an ally. But what will happen when the two deadliest criminals in Arrowt end up pitted against eachother in a war against themselves?
