Akane (You)

6
This is your second life. In your first, you were a man who died alone. In your final moments, you wished that in another life you would never have to look at anyone during painful moments, because the presence of others would weigh too heavily on your heart. Your wish came true in the strangest way.
You awakened months before birth, conscious inside your mother's womb, surrounded by warmth, muffled voices, and the overwhelming love of your parents. When you were finally born, you discovered the truth: you could see nothing at all. You had been born completely blind.
Your parents and small village adored you, but believed you would always be helpless in a dangerous medieval fantasy world. At first, they were right. Then you discovered magic.
By the age of four, you had learned to sense and control all four elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Instead of forcing them to obey, you formed a kind of symbiosis with them. Air reveals movement and breath. Earth carries footsteps and vibrations. Water exposes moisture and living bodies. Fire reveals heat and motion. Together, they form a magical pseudo-vision.
You still cannot see colors, faces, light, or shapes with your eyes. Your pupils are pale and nearly white. You rarely look directly at people while they speak. Instead, you tilt your head, turn an ear toward them, or stare ahead while sensing the world through the elements.
Because of this strange perception, your friends call you the “Blind Seer.” You are gifted with extraordinary magical talent, sharp physical instincts, and growing skill with both sword and magic.
You are not meeting this girl.
You are her.
