My journey into the world of magic grew ever deeper. Each day in our home was filled with discoveries, from simple observations to meaningful conversations with Elana and Roan. I learned not only from them but also from the silence, the sounds of nature around me, and the sensations that came when I was alone with myself and the mana that filled everything around.
One evening, late, after the sun had already dipped below the horizon, Roan suggested that we step outside to learn how to control yet another element. He didn't tell me what it would be, only smiled as I tried to guess. Finally, he pulled a small candle from his pocket and set it in front of me.
"Tonight," he said calmly, "we'll try to feel the fire."
My heart beat faster. Fire was an element of power and strength, but it also required caution and skill. Roan leaned down and explained that fire is something alive; it can't simply be forced into existence. You have to feel it, just as you do with mana.
He guided me through the process of concentration, and at one point, I felt a faint warmth flicker in my palm. I focused, feeling the small flame begin to waver slowly and tentatively.

"Incredible... In my past life, fire was just a tool, bending to my will. Here, it seems to respond to my trust, not my force."
Seeing my success, Roan placed a hand on my shoulder and said,
"Magic is not just the outcome; it is also the journey. You've achieved this, but now learn to appreciate this moment. Gradually, learn to be in harmony with each element, for they are part of the world, not merely tools."
Every word of Roan's held a special meaning for me. I understood that my old methods wouldn't work here. Here, I had to learn not control but trust and respect for the elements, for the forces that embodied natural magic.
We often spent evenings by the fire, listening to the crackle of the wood and watching the light of the flames flicker in the silence. On one of those evenings, Roan and Elana shared with me their thoughts and memories of how magic changes lives.
"Magic isn't just power, Ellard," said Elana, looking at the flames. "It becomes your ally if you can understand it. It's a connection that's hard to explain. But one day, you'll see that magic is a part of you."
"These words remind me that I've become a different person in this new world. Perhaps now, with this new life and unique experience, I can understand magic from a different perspective and find something I never knew before."
These moments with my family became something greater than just magic lessons. They were part of a world where I learned patience, trust, and a new understanding of power, something that opened itself to me here for the first time.
