Prologue
Briar Moss was walking through town whistling. He was going to visit his foster sister, Sandry. Or rather Lady Sandrilene fa Toren, the Duchess. Her Uncle, the Duke, had passed away not long ago, leaving her as a Duchess. Briar was a plant mage, Sandry was a thread mage. Their other foster sisters Daja and Tris, were metal and weather mages.
Briar was a very lucky plant mage, for he had found some rare shakkan seeds. Shakkans are very magical trees, they grow in the shape of an "s" and stay small. They also store magic.
Just as Briar turned a corner, a man put a dagger through his arm, making him lose so much blood it would almost have to kill him. Almost.
