Kody's P.O.V.

I slowly wake up to the sound of birds chirping on a branch just outside the window. Lumine's still sound asleep next to me so I quietly get up and dressed.

I open my door and go to the kitchen to find my dad making breakfast. I sit down at the table and he turns around. "Oh hey son, you ready for today?" He asks. I shake my head and rub my eyes, not knowing what he's talking about.

"Ready for what?" I question.

"Training. To help you do magic." He sits down next to me. "We'll start when your done."

"O-Ok."

After I finish and put my dishes away, I look over at dad, who's walking up to me holding a knife and a beater. (If y'all don't know what a beater is, here.)

"Ok, we can either do this the easy way, or the hard way

"Ok, we can either do this the easy way, or the hard way." He says seriously.

"Umm, the easy way?" I slowly say. He begins to set the stuff down.

"Ok, follow me." I follow him outside to a field. The air outside is hot but tolerable (thankfully).

"Ok." He stops me. "I want you to create a small fire. One that you can control. But just make it as big as you can before you will pass out." I do what he says and I make a small green fire, about a foot in length. I hold it before about a minute before I fall to my knees.

"I...I can't do it anymore." I painfully get out.

"It's fine, I'll heal you." He says as he puts his hand on top of my head. I suddenly feel better. I get up and look at him.

"Ok Kody, now I want you to do what you just did again. I want your body to get used to the stress of magic before we go any further." I hesitate but comply.

I create a new fire, about the same diameter as before. I hold it for as long as I can before collapsing once again.

"Don't push yourself Kody, you are doing fine. Your lasting about a minute. Your goal today is to just make it to a minute thirty." He heals he and I try again.

"Ok Kody, let's try one more time. Your doing great!" Dad encourages me.

I create another fire. A little bigger this time. I look over to see Lumine watching me with dad. I begin to think of Lumine, and not of the fire.

"Good job Kody, your doing great!" Lumine yells. I smile and give it my all. After a while I tap out and collapse.

"Wow son, look at this!" Dad calls me over and slows me the stopwatch.

It reads 03:24:36 (3 minutes, 24 seconds, 36 milliseconds).

'Wow. And that's only day one.' I think to myself. "Ok, now I'm gonna go relax." I say as I walk into the house and lay face-first onto the couch.
