Adjudicator: Fire

by R.L. Osborne

The power of the spirit can be manipulated to provide its host with superhuman strength and abilities. A reserve of energy beyond the normal boundaries of the world. This can be manipulated into one of the seven ancient elements, according to a science we know as Alchemy. These seven elements are as follows; Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Leaf, Thunder, Snow. Few in this world are capable of manipulating the energy of the spirit, and in particular, finding their spiritual Familiar, a protector, which once released from its sacred place of rest, merges with its host to provide a superior being, one capable of immense power. Naturally, as power is granted, greed is born. There are those that seek to bring the world into chaotic turmoil, a place in which they can rule and dominate over innocent people for thousands of years. We follow Nick Callaghan, a normal but brave young boy who will suffer his greatest tragedy, gain a legendary Familiar of incredible strength known only as The Adjudicator, and live his life on a quest for vengeance. He will fight for his loved ones, and unravel the truth behind the hidden world of Alchemy, whilst resuming what would seem to be a normal life. But Nick is a boy in a man's world, single-handedly facing an army of evil in the darkest of times. Can Nick bear the burden of being a hero and face his own inner demons at the same time? Can he succeed?
