prologue:
The sorcerers of Cere and Ignis were nothing alike. Cere practiced wax magic, creating golem warriors that formed again and again. Ignis, fire magic, summoning sparks at their fingertips and inferno’s at their whim. There was always an uneasy trust between the two, bonded by trade. Cere sent wax, and all things concerning it. Ignis sent glass. They stayed like this, for a number of years, the bond between them thinning.
Then, like fraying rope, it snapped. It started with an Ignis trade shipment that never came. Cere had sent its own prior, and eagerly awaited the glass in return. But it never came. A month passed, and tensions worsened. Search parties went out. Another month came, then another, and another. Ignis was the first to accuse, and Cere denied it, and replied with an army of wax.
Like a candle, fire and wax fought for domination. And, like a candle, a single string controlled everything.
