In the debut episode "Rise of the Elements", a girl named Ashe is on a field trip to the New York Museum with her cousins. Upon walking in, she is excited about what is to be discovered. While on her way with her class to the Prehistoric Quarter, Ashe turns her head to the left to see the Viking Quarter. Curious, she enters and see's the statue in the centre and 7 entrys. Feeling something in the air, she enters into one, seeing a painting with a man with a sword. Reading whose quarter it is, she looks around to see the helmets in glass cases. Curious about the skull on the 3rd one, she takes her hair clip and align it with the skull on the helmet. She looks up to the painting again and questions if she is related to him.

Exiting out of the quarter and into another she is met with the bright glow of a gem in a glass case. Getting closer, it glows brighter before it breaks out of the glass case and floats toward Ashe, before disappearing out of sight. Scared and shocked, she recollects herself and her teacher comes after her, questioning why she departed from the group. Ashe tries to explain but is still stunned from what had happened. The teacher assures her she is alright and brings her along back to the Prehistoric Quarter.

After school, she decided to do research on the skull on the helmet back at the museum. After hours of research, she found out she has a tenth great-grandmother who is still alive and works as archaeologist and geologist for viking history. Arriving at where she lives, she is shocked to find that she has lived among Vikings for over 300 years. Ashley explains further that that Stone chose her to become the new keeper and fulfill the destiny that had been passed down to her. After helping Ashe channel her powers, Ashley says in order for her to get the full potential of her powers, she must earn Believix.

The next day, she meets up with her friends, Runa and Astra. She shows them the Dragon Stone before they are attacked by a witch. Fleeing from her, she hides inside the girl's washroom inside a toilet stall. The witch, close to getting her hands on the Stone, is disrupted by Runa who lies saying she has the stone. The witch chases her out of the washroom, giving Ashe enough time to escape out of the school. Arriving home, she tells her mother of what happened, leaving her concerned. However, the witch finds their house and demands the Stone. When Ashe says no, the witch proceeds to attack her, only for her powers to appear briefly. The witch, stunned, flees through a black portal.

Relieved that she was gone, her mother hugged her and shared pride in her daughter's abilities taking form. She then explains of a place located east outside the Barbaric Archipelago known as New Berk. Ashe decides to take Runa and Astra with her on their adventure to New Berk.
