Kaizen nodded in approval to her question, but his expression showed that he wasn’t too sure either. Actually, he wasn’t even sure if all this five element bullshit crap was true, he just decided to believe what he was told for now.
"If the seal hasn’t broken till now, then... the person who placed it on you used black magic."
Seal varied based on each realm, the only realm that specialized in seals was the shadow realm. Their sealing magic was extremely powerful, hard to detect and hard to break.
"Can you break it? I...." He hesitated, "I want power." He said in a desperate tone. He has felt weak all his life, powerless, useless, and he hated feeling like that.
He had gotten used to people looking down on him, but the one thing he was most afraid of, was having to watch his family or loved one being killed right before his eyes and he’d be unable to do anything to protect them. That memory still haunted him, unwilling to leave even after knowing it wasn’t real.
"Kaizen, that power...it’s...it’s disastrous." Velmaria spoke, and for the first time, her voice sounded soft, like she cared about him.
Kaizen looked up to her, his brows furrowing, "Is it something that powerful? Is that why the realms are afraid of it’s weilder? Is that why they wiped out a whole clan? Just what exactly are they afraid of?"
It would have made sense if the first weilder was actually the tyrant who destroyed everything, but from what she said, he was framed, he was set up. What exactly happened back then.
"There’s something you need to know. If two elements are joined in one person, a third is naturally created. If three are joined, a fourth is naturally created, and if five are joined, it’s weilder will be able to harness ten abilities. What makes that power even more scary is that, it has no limits. Somehow, they keep getting stronger and stronger, as they grow, the power grows with them. Back then, iroh was the only being that could control us. He was the only one we were afraid of."
"He shattered the seal didn’t he?"
