Capturing the Fire Spirit (Edited)

Isha carefully explained the procedure of how to absorb the fire spirit in detail. After listening to Isha careful explanation on how to assimilate the fire spirit and integrate it into her fire magic, Jayde sat down on the stone floor. Taking a couple of deep breaths, Jayde closed her eyes and settled her mind.

From Isha detailed explanation Jayde realized that what she was about to attempt was dangerous, but the benefits outweighed the dangers. Reaching for her magic, Jayde opened up her magical senses, she then delicately extended her magical sight, scanning for the fire spirit. Due to its young age, it was hidden from standard view, and according to Isha could only be "seen" using magic.

After five minutes, Jayde finally found the fire spirit. It was diving in and out of the lava, to her magical eyes it looked like a small dancing flame. The outer edges of the fire spirit glowed azure, and in the heart of the flame, there was a small tawny flame that twinkled. It really was a striking sight to behold.

Following Isha explanations, Jayde extended her magical power discreetly, she did not want to alarm the fire spirit, if it escaped and hid deep in the lava, it would be nearly impossible for Jayde to capture it, she needed to trap it.

Inch by inch, her magical tendrils slowly surrounded the fire spirit, Jayde was extremely patient, as she "hunted" her prey. Only once she confirmed that her magical power totally enclosed the fire spirit and that it had no avenue to escape, did she relax her tense muscles.

To strengthen the magical cage surrounding the fire spirit, Jayde slowly fed most of her magic to the shield encasing the fire spirit. Using her magical senses Jayde accessed her magical cage, only once she confirmed that her magical shield was strong, did she activate her carefully laid trap. Swifty Jayde reduced the size of the magical cage trapping the fire spirit — and by reducing the size of the magical shield, the strength of her spirit cage increased drastically.

Alarmed the fire spirit tried to flee but found itself caught in Jayde's sturdy spirit cage. Smashing itself against the walls of its enclosure, it tried its best to break through, but no matter how hard it battered at Jayde shield walls it couldn't break through. Stubbornly the fire spirit didn't give up. The fight had now become a battle of wills between itself and Jayde, whoever exhausted themselves first would end up the loser.

As the fire spirit continued to struggle to escape, Jayde continued to reduce the size of her cage, until the fire spirit could barely move. Jayde now had to hold on until fire spirit surrendered, only once it yielded could she successfully integrate it into her magic.

Sipping on spirit water from the lily pods to replenish her Qi, Jayde waited patiently for the fire spirit to tire itself out, after a grueling five hours, the fire spirit finally collapsed.

Noticing the fire spirit lying limping against her spirit cage, Jayde started to pull her magical cage closer to her, as if sensing Jayde intention, the fire spirit put up a last final struggle, Jayde had to pour all of her remaining Qi into powering the cage, as the fire spirit battled desperately against the walls of her magical trap.

While this last battle only lasted a couple of minutes the toll on both the fire spirit and Jayde was intense, sweat poured down Jayde white face, her lips were bleeding from having bitten them during this final battle, but finally, the fire spirit had surrendered its will to her.

Exhausted Jayde drank the remaining lily pod water in the pod she held in her hand. With her Qi replenished and feeling more energized, Jayde drew the fire spirit into her body, with her magical shield still surrounding the defeated fire spirit, she directed her spiritual cage to her dantian.

Only once the fire spirit was safely within her dantian did Jayde breathe a sigh of relief, then releasing her spiritual cage she started the arduous task of integrating the fire spirit into her fire magic.

Now was the most dangerous part of the whole process, Jayde had to successfully integrate the fire spirit — failure would entail the flames of the fire spirit burning her alive. Once Jayde started the integration process she would not be able to stop, it was now, do or die.

With her mind totally focused on this vital task, Jayde gently started to absorb the flames of the fire spirit, directing the magical firey flames of the fire spirit into her fire magic.

As Jayde began to absorb the flames, the Qi energy from the fire being consumed began to fill her dantian. In no time at all Jayde quickly reached the threshold of the fourth rank, all the Qi energy in the surrounded area, began to flow around her body, due to the intense energy of the lava lake, there was an abnormal amount of fire Qi in the air, a massive vortex of Qi began to appear around Jayde.

This Qi started to sink into Jayde's body, unaware of this dangerous situation, Jayde continued to absorb the energy of the fire spirit.

Very quickly Jayde broke through to fourth class, but she was now in a dangerous situation, as not only was she absorbing the Qi energy from the fire spirit, which was vast in itself, but the Qi energy around her was increasing drastically, and forcing its way into her body, which only filled up her dantian even quicker.

With both of these energies now entering her body, Jayde started to break through the ranks at an alarming rate, and with each increase in class, more and more Qi energy was drawn towards her, forcing its way into her body, which only increased the rate of her breakthroughs.

Jayde was now in a very dangerous cycle.
