The Ritual Begins

The figure turns to face you, they look you up and down allowing you to finally get a good look at their face.

You see a young boy about your age he has silky black hair that hangs off to the right side of his forehead, his eyes are a golden brown and his sect uniform loosely hangs as if he was quickly given whatever uniform that was laying around and rushed out, this allowed you to get a glimpse of his strangely built figure almost unheard of among wing elementals.

He reaches his hand out but suddenly Noah jumps in front of you." Hey, you're from the Roaring Wind Sect, right? Is this how they act up the mountains?" Noah said as he extends his arm as if telling the boy to keep his distance.

"Oh, please excuse my manners." He says as he takes a step back," My name is John I'm from the Roaring Wind Sect and I'm here to help you all with your awakening ceremony".

"Yes," Mr.green interrupts " The wind helps to clear up some of the smoke given off from the volcano."

"Now that we all know what's going on shall we prepare the ritual?"

Mr.Green turns and shoots a small flame into the volcano. The ground begins to shake as the lava begins to rise as if bending to his will. Massive amounts of smoke soon rose from the bubbling hot lava which was quickly blown away by John with just a wave of his hand. The lava begins to overflow as with a snap of his fingers Mr.Green quickly forces it to a halt.

Mr.Green then turns towards the class as he says in a Monotonous tone probably bored from the numerous times he had to do this same ritual with little to no variation, "Ok you all know about the color of flames and their strength. To recap here is the order orange, red, blue and finally green. To activate any of these colors you must first meditate in the volcano.

"You guys know all of this but what you don't know is that this ritual was originally used by farmers to appease the volcano so it wouldn't erupt and destroy this very village."

"But one day when they were sacrificing a young 10-year-old boy instead of dying he absorbed the flame essence from the volcano and was the first to unlock his flames this was the creator of the flame sect and the very first flame elements, now any questions?"

You and a few other classmates raise your hand but to no avail, Mr.Green doesn't even look your way before saying. "No questions? Good Now the ritual shall begin everyone line up in front of the volcano."

You both rush to line up squeezing by countless classmates but sadly you both still ended up at the end of the line, the first one up is a girl name Margaret you've seen her a few times enough to know her name but you never had a conversation with her other than maybe a few hi's and bye's. She eagerly jumps into the volcano as she begins to meditate.

You can immediately see the flame essence gather around her as she sits in the blazing hot lava as sweat begins to drip down her face.

Then suddenly there is a blinding flash of red light, You are forced to close your eyes but when you open them she is covered in crimson flames. Everyone in the line is amazed by the beautiful display, well all except for John who is looking off into the distance and Mr.Green who looks slightly disappointed at who was once one of his favorite students.

"Ugh, red... I guess she was a waste of time" He lets out a sigh long sigh before shouting "Next!" as the next student steps up. The next few students were like a blur after the first couple there the students quickly calmed down as the once beautiful red light turned into an almost sickening flash of light. the rest of the students so far have all had crimson flames leading to most of the students who had once felt special for being the first among us to get their flames soon feeling as if they were nothing.

After a few more classmates it's now Noah's turn but something was different you could immediately tell when he stepped up to the volcano the lava began to give off a little more essence than usual, But this change soon became obvious after he got into lava his body started to give off sparks as he meditated, the flame essence began to pour into him as the lava began to tremble.

You look up at Mr.Green who is just as amazed are, then at John who awkwardly meets your gaze then quickly turns away going back to staring off into the distance.

Then suddenly there is a flash of green light as smoke begins to come off of Noah's body he gets up as green flames circle around him.

Mr.green nods his head in approval as Noah then goes over and sits down next to the rest of the class as they then crowd around him. You wanna rush over to congratulate him but it's finally your turn to activate your flames.
