Having failed to manifest any attunements on the Testing day, Elias is disowned and cast out from his clan, the royal clan of the Holstein kingdom. Unwilling to stay down and to accept the clan's view of unattuned individuals having no power, Elias seeks to grasp onto and change his fate.

If he can't move mountains with his fist, can't he at least move mountains of gold?

Elias would show his clan and the world that even an unattuned individual is worthy of respect, even that given to the strongest.

This is his journey.

Darius proved his mettle and showed everyone his potential when he attuned to both the aspects of fire, the royal element, and blood. With a fast-track to general all but guaranteed, the only thing he could have hoped for was for his twin, his dearest brother, to join him by his side. Unfortunately, Elias tested as unattuned, the level that was reserved for weaklings that deserved to be cast out and trampled. Or at least, that's what the clan says.

If his brother couldn't hit with the strength of a legend, didn't he just have to hit twice as hard to compensate?

Darius would show the weaklings around him just what the apex of diligence and talent looked like.

This is also his journey.
