Vein never asked to be special.
Born with black hair, dark skin, and a forbidden Dual Current, he grows up as an outsider in a world where elemental power decides everything. Earth and Gravity should not coexist in one soul — and in Vein, they don’t. They clash, fracture, and mutate into something the clans have no name for.
When Vein is twelve, that fracture awakens a power no Currentborn should possess: Mark, a soul‑brand that lets him claim enemies, track them, and pull them back into his shadow no matter how far they run. The clans call it a curse. Vein calls it survival.
