Background story:
Mercer Sunflare grew up the 2nd child in a house of six children and their parents, who were merchants whom used their skills to become part of the upper class. However Mercer never enjoyed the status as he was raised when they were still merchants; on the road and living off the land itself. He was taught proper manners and trained in how to be a gentleman, yet longed for the freedom to make his own choices. Eventually, Mercer ran away from home and tried to live as a peasant for a while as he would steal food from vendors and trained his mobility in the cities.
One day, Mercer went on his usual route when he noticed a girl in a cloak about to be ambushed by scumbags. Mercer defended her with a custom made staff he had made and ran them away, saving the girl. Eventually, he and the girl named Carmen Albafrost got away from the city and learned of each other's backstories.
After Carmen showed her powers of ice to him, Mercer was suprised but was suprisingly calm before showing off his own power, the Flare, by lifting a large pot with one finger. Eventually they would become partners and friends who lived together to brace the world head on.
One day, Mercer and Carmen had a huge fight and eventually, it ended with Carmen accidentally knocking over the various chemicals Mercer had set up to use and caused a massive explosion that claimed her life. Strucken with grief, Mercer took Carmen's corpse to the nearest forest and met a Fae creature by the name of Puck eating an apple on a tree branch. Sensing his grief, Puck then offered a contract with Mercer. The contract allows for Carmen to be revitalized but in exchange, Mercer must always keep a firm grasp on Carmen at all times. If Mercer let go of Carmen for more than (x time), then Carmen will vanish and Puck will claim her soul for himself.
Dedicated to find a way to make the contract null and void while keeping Carmen alive, Mercer began to travel the world with Carmen for the next three years in order to make a living of their new situation. Both of them would then hear word of a guild in which the both of them could work at in order to also learn of tools to fix their condition.
