Nothing But Smoke

"Ok so First you rub the palms of your hands together for a few seconds until you feel your flame essence gathers in the center of your palms, then you separate your hands about a foot away from each other." You see sparks start to come off of his hands.

"Then when enough gathers", suddenly the sparks exploded into a beautiful green flame. As the flame forms a wave of heat fills the room. You can feel the power coming from the flame and it makes your palms sweat and your body tremble.

Is this really Noah's flame you think to yourself, How could such a goofy, childish, carefree boy's flame have such power you have never felt such pressure from a flame before it feels like there is a massive weight on your back slowly pulling you down.

Soon the weight becomes too much and you fall to your knees but as soon as you do the pressure stops and Noah's arms wrap around you. " I'm sorry Liz I can't really control my power as good as everyone else but Mr.Green told me that I'll be able to activate my flame with my will soon"

You rest your head on his shoulder as you try to catch your breath, he rubs your head to help you calm down and soon you're ready for your turn.

You rub your palms together as Noah takes a seat and watches in excitement. He looks like a child you think to yourself I still can't believe that was his power but... I can't let him stay ahead of me for long I gotta catch up you say as you feel the flames essence rush to your palms almost immediately after you start to separate them,

This feeling it's like back at the volcano you can feel all the flame essence around you gather you feel like your the center of all flames you feel as if you are your flame itself then suddenly a pain shoots up your spine and dark smoke comes off of your hand and fills the room.

Mr, Green and your Parents immediately rush out of the kitchen and glare at you it is much different than the forced smile he gave you earlier when you asked him about the test.

"Ugh, I should have known you were trash from the moment I saw how much pain you were in during your ritual... I guess my hopes for you were too high. I'll be sure to tell the village leader that you will be moving to the farm.

Your heart drops, "Hey Mr.Green", Noah says as he jumps up from his chair, Mr.Green, please give her another chance I'm sure it was just a mis-"

"No" Mr.Green shouts "trash like her doesn't deserve to even be associated with someone with such a bright further like yourself. No" Mr.Green shouts "trash like her doesn't deserve to even be associated with someone with such a bright further like yourself. No" Mr.Green shouts "trash like her doesn't deserve to even be associated with someone with such a bright further like yourself.

You can feel your eyes start to swell with tears when your father suddenly grabs Mr.Green's shoulder as he shifts his weight and hits him with a bone-crushing blow to the jaw.
