The nation of Ephrea was one of the four powerful nations in the world second only to Dragonland followed by Erah and Zelpha, It was known for its powerful seven families which practiced elemental magic and a strong bloodline of Kings known for their domineering strength and the current king Cane Fray was no exception and what added to this attribute was his brutal demeanor, his love for distraction could never be filled and the most suitable family to help him quench his thirst was the fourth flame family with the help of the destruction fire magic, this lead this family to be envied and hated more especially the families above them with fear that their position will soon be taken after all the closer you are to the king the more powerful you will become.

"we cannot let this go on, that evil family has mislead his majesty for long his only thoughts are now to destroy, shouldn't we the remaining families guide his majesty?" An old man with a hoarse voice preached as he stood and looked at the elders of the four family present in the gathering hall which was normally used to hold the seven families gathering meetings every first week of each month.
Greed was written in his face and he gave no care, at this moment the elders present had the same thoughts that was to bring down the flame family which is becoming a thorn in their path. What they were concerned about most was not the evil mind of the king but they couldn't stand him preferring a family lower than them in status.

The rest of the elders nodded with glee in their eyes especially Lord Barnes as he long wanted to marry his eldest son to the second daughter of Gray Flame the current youngest elder of the flame family so that the earth family could have a bloodline of both fire and earth bringing a long lost powerful magic of lava control to his bloodline . He as long set his plan in motion long ago and has already compared his descendants blood with those of the flame family and discovered that the second daughter of Lord Gray and his son could bring his plan to fruition but alas this was just a dream as the flame family married amongst themselves except for the current head who married a woman of unknown origin and peculiarly the elders who supported marriage within the family even agreed to it.
Lord Eden walked at the wall of the hall which was a pavilion bamboo structure with walls of a Meter tall elevated from the ground and a pond in its surroundings.
"Well it seems tonight we act" looking into the view of calm water he gently waved his left hand and the pond was frozen instantly into a cold ice and let out a murderous proclamation "All those of the flame family should cease to exist either old or child, men or women spare not a single soul".....
