Ciella and I prepared to train.

"Let's begin with Fire since you're already familiar with generating it" I said.

Ciella nodded and snapped her fingers together. A flame materialized around her fingers.

"Fire is generated via Friction between or amongst Solid Objects" Ciella said.

"You recall how to maintain it don't you? Every element with the capacity to generate a Wave also requires a Prerequisitory Wave as a condition to manifest in the Physical World" I explained.

"I remember. For Fire, its Prerequisitory Waves are Earth and Wind. Earth is required to ignite the Flame via Friction and Wind is required to sustain the Flame for Combustion" Ciella said and blew gently on the Flames on her fingers.

The Flames gradually expanded.

"That's right" I said.

"However if the Wind utilized is minimal, the flame could be snuffed out for lack of fuel and if in excess, the flame could be blown out. To sustain the flame requires a moderate amount of Wind" Ciella recalled her lesson under my Mom.

"You still recall the basics. Now why don't you extend the flame around your limbs" I instructed.

Ciella obeyed and focused the flame about her limbs. The flame took on the form of fiery sleeves around her arms and legs.

"Good, you've done it" I said and looked around for a piece of dried wood.

I found one and brought it to Ciella.

"Try holding this" I said.

Ciella took the Wood in her hand however it immediately caught flame and got burnt to ashes.

"That's the 'Burn' Stat inflicted by Fire. It can be used as a Defensive Technique against Close Combat Type Adversaries" I explained.

Ciella nodded.

"The Flame doesn't hurt" Ciella noted.

"Of course it doesn't. You have an affinity for Flame so it would not hurt you. You can think of the Flame as a part of yourself. It's just as much a part of you as your limbs are" I explained.

Ciella smiled.

"There are other things you'll need to know as well however I'll explain those when we get to the other elements" I said.

"Okay" Ciella nodded.

"By equipping the Fires Of Vitality to yourself you can regenerate your Wounds and restore energy so it's the best bet when you find yourself wounded or backed to a corner" I explained.

"What about the Flame Of Fortitude?" Ciella asked.

I smiled.

"Why don't you increase the intensity of your flames gradually and find out?" I said with a reassuring smile.

Ciella obeyed. As she did so, she gradually began to levitate.

"The Blue Flame Of Fortitude can gift its users with a 'Mobility' or 'Flight' Buff as well. It can be used to enhance the speed of one's attacks or to extend the range of their mobility and is thus especially useful when you find yourself in harsh terrain" I explained.

"Thanks San. I'll get a bit of practice on my own now" Ciella said and began to practice utilizing the Flames Of Vitality and Fortitude.

She practiced simple motions and flight when utilizing the Flames Of Fortitude and her mobility gradually improved. I observed her closely. I was impressed with how far she had come and was grateful to Arlene and Concordia who helped her establish a strong foundation. Ciella was improving rapidly.

"She is gradually increasing in proactiveness and her confidence is steadily improving" I thought to myself as I observed Ciella train.
