Origins: Fire
Ash was a wild girl, a tomboy, but no less a warrior, she never told anyone or showed, that she kept the village fire from burning the whole town, she had a special ability to manipulate fire, to both grow and diminish, or make it spread to one area to another, her family was a loving one which got them to move to the mountains near the temple and academy for training, she got a letter asking her to become a knight
"We're here" Ash's other Ember said as her father the dragon Crimson landed on the landing zone, which was a clearing near a cliff, Ash was only fourteen when she got the letter, now fifteen she was ready to train
"I'll search the forest for a bit, I'll stay in range of your scent" Ash said as she ran off, the forests were beautiful, the trees were lush green and the sky and sun lit up the forest
"Gah!" Ash was so caught up with the scenery that she bumped into a young boy with purple eyes and blonde hair, he was dressed in brown pants and light tan tunic, hers was a a tan dress with a corset like leather around her waist to her chest, with a pair of boots
"Sorry miss, I wasn't watching where I were going" the boy said
"No prob, I'm Ash, from Southern village, Crimson woods" Ash said
"Oh I'm Raphael, from the Northern village, Sun Peak" he said
"Okay, wanna see my family" Ash asked as he nodded
"Mama! Papa!" Ash said as she dragged Raphael into a small clearing with a wooden house, a fiery red dragon resting near the house
"Papa!" Ash said as she hugged the dragon's snout before he turned into a middle-aged man with crimson hair and a white and red tunic and pants with a sword on his hip
"No way! Your just like my Mama, she can turn into a dragon too" Raphael said
"Awesome! Come on dad you said you'd spar with me today" Ash said as she dragged Crimson down the small dirt path
"Would you like some tea?" Ember asked as she brought out a small pot and a few cups
"Sure thanks" Raphael said
Years later…..
A seventeen year old Ash barged into the training room her target: Raphael
"Fire and Light Fight off" Ash yelled as she tackled the blonde teen who yelped at her sudden attack
"Ash, why today?" Raphael whined the only Anna was present at the time
"Because, I wanna see who gotten stronger over the time I was gone" Ash said
"Oh now that you mention it, how was the trip back to your old village?" Anna asked
"It was fine I guess, well the elder and chief seemed to be happy when I came back, everyone was, I guess I just felt a little homesick" Ash said
"Can't forget! Ralph! Heads up" Ash sent a blaze at the blonde man, he dodged the blast as it set a training dummy on fire
"Alright no holding back" Ralph smiled as he charged at her
Later…
Ash finished a fight with Iroina as per usual, Anna was outside doing who-knows-what
"Nirey! Yo!" Ash sent up a wave as she visited the shadow dragon who was calmly reading a book under a tree near the house, it was titled from what she could see 'Dark within Light'
"Hello Ash, what brings you here?" Nirestra asked
"Meh, finished up my training, got nothin' to do" Ash said as she sat down beside her
"What kinda book is that? I don't recall it being in the library of the academy or here" Ash said
"It's a book I kept in my room under my bed, shadow dragons have a dark entity that tries to find a host, most have beat it, others didn't, I have it to strengthen my mind and magic, so the beast can't over come me" Nirestra said
"Whoa, dark. Anyway wanna hang out by the waterfall? Eau is going to be there" Ash said
"Eau? I thought you didn't like being near water" Nirestra said
"Meh, I gotta strengthen my own magic, gotta learn to control my opposite element is a start, so does Eau, it's going to be awesome!" Ash declared
"Okay" Nirestra said
Later…..
"Eau! Yo!" Ash and Nirestra walked into a clearing, the dirt and grass ended and sand continued, for about five feet, in the center was a massive pool, a waterfall letting water flow from the cliff lake above, in the water out of her armor and in her swimsuit was a girl with elegant navy blue hair tied in a high tail, her eyes were a bright amber color
"Hello girls!" Eau called out as Ash changed into her red swimsuit as did Nirestra
"Ready?" Ash asked as Eau nodded as she gained red highlights in her hair and Ash got blue
Nirestra wandered behind the waterfall to the cave it hid, they knew of its location, blue crystals illuminating the walls of the stone cavern, she went to the back of the cave to see a sundial, the sun hitting it perfectly telling her it was half past noon
"It never missing the time" Nirestra said smiling, until she heard an explosion outside, she dash out worried it might be an attack, only to meet a thick cloud of steam
"Crap! Not again" Ash yelled out frustrated
"That happens every time" Eau said as Nirestra chuckled
Years later…
Ash looked in horror, the landscape was coated with red and orange blazing flames of which she couldn't put out, they all were black rooted signaled by shadow magic, but her parents lied dead, her father in his dragon form being eaten away by the flames, her mother a kitchen knife through her throat as she was attacked while preparing a feast
"NNNOOOOO!" Ash cried and yelled in pain and agony, she wasn't going to fall like this, she ran, flew, and took down as many shadow beasts as she could, some were weak while others were powerful, the attacker was obviously toying with them, but she saw the corpses all the betas, dead. Lying either impaled or dismembered, Eau's blue hair was soaked in crimson and her right arm gone. Ash struck down everything, again and again
"There's too many"
Ash fought with her few breathes until a shadow beast shaped like a tiger launched at her from behind as she burned a spider familiar. She felt her vision flash white a sharp pain in her top back, she fell to the ground with a silent 'thud' her vision blackening, as she glanced at her fallen sisters once more, blood leaking from her shoulders
"I'm sorry" a golden light engulfing her as her vision blackened
"They're gone, and now it's gone"
Past the Storm
Ash walked down the streets of Death City she was out to buy food while Iroina held down the fort
"I don't understand what's happening" Ash looked to see a group of young teens no older than fourteen playing basketball, or trying to, while two boys with white and blue hair past the ball to one another and a blonde girl simply looking confused, a few others chuckling
"Drake is thinking about hurting those kids, he's got another thing comin" Ash growled as she past by the court ignoring the swooning of a red haired male
Present….
Ash was knocked down as Votina swatted at her with a vine
"Keep your head in the game Ash!" Natsu yelled as he attacked her
"Fire Dragon Charging Horn!" Ash flew forward like a missile knocked Votina into the back wall
"Like you can beat me firecracker" Votina smiled
"You're not taking my friends away again" Ash let out a yell as she charged forward

Eau is a play on the word L'eau which means 'Water' in french hence her being a water knight
