"you doing it wrong," Sam said from the edge of the jacuzzi. Daniel looked at him with a very annoyed and red face from where he stood in the heated water." you must guild the heat not force it," not once looking up from the screen he was designing how he was going to carve the cloud stones that were arriving soon, who would have to guess the something mystery falling from the stars would delay the mail well it gave sam more time to think which allowed his to release that that the relays would probably be shot down unless he disguises them or registered them he chose the first, more fun!
"step out the water your overheating, try and expel the hear from your body" daniel slashed some water at his friend before doing as he told. sam was a strict teacher but patient teacher, he gave instructions and hint then waiting until daniel got it, but that didn't mean things were going smoothly. Daniel wasn't sure he enjoys a hot tub after this, all the lessons have taken place in a hot tub one at the highest setting. first, he had to grow familiar with the heat then he had to learn to control it now he was leaning to store the heat then he was going to learn to generate his own.
daniel was able to expel the heat after a couple of tries then got back into the steaming water, he winced at the temperature. but he focused on that dragging the heat into his body so it didn't harm him, he probably was directing even half the heat that entered his body but it was enough. from where sat sniffed the air,' he doesn't smell like he cooking so he can stay in for a bit'. he would have preferred to use another sense to keep track of his friend's health but his senses were acting up because of the lust core.
he was sure what was up with them, his sight kept going black and various shades of purple, his hearing kept picking up some kind of pulse that was fucking load along with some unintelligible whispers, his smell was picking up news sents but sam could ignore those to an extent, don't get him started on his taste and touch. sighing he looked over the designs for the six relays he planned to make, they would be enough to reach the other island he based them on flying creature from his nomad time.
"I think I'll start with the phantomwings," pesky little felines the size of a car that made no sound what so ever striking only when they were certain it would kill. as deadly as they were the creatures were majestic almost otherworldly and they knew this and used it. subconsciously sam rubbed he could feel the phantom of fangs closing in of his neck, after a deep breath the phantom teeth were gone and he focuses on his friend who was making progress.
sticking his barefoot in the water sam channeled the force of his heart fire into the water slowly turning it red, daniel resited for three seconds before he screams and clears the jacuzzi steaming a bit he was mad as well." what the he-" he stopped as sam held up his hand and pointed to the water which had begun to rapidly freeze then melt and boil, simmer then evaporation followed by condensation then half boil half-frozen, An incredible show of control and a bit of showboating. daniel watched amazed and a bit confused why was sam showing him this, " impressive right this what you can do with the heart flame. now take some ice and melt it using this skill!"
"okay?" was all Daniel could respond with pulling son ice from the frozen half of the water and wondering how sam was pulling that off he got to work on his assignment. several melted ice chunks and numb fingers later daniel wasn't getting it, he could melt the ice on purpose. "how am I supposed to do this?"
"draw heat from the boiling side of the jacuzzi and direct it to your hands," both of the paused before daniel started laughing knowing that sam didn't mean to answer that and he was blushing under his lightly tanned skin, which he should probably ask about. grabbing another chunk of ice daniel stuck a leg in the boiling water, he ignored the cold in his hands and focused on the hot surrounding his foot drawing the heat into his body he leads it to his hands forcing the cold out.
he could feel the ice start to melt faster cool water flowing out of his hands, he remained focused when though he was excited by his success and surly the ice was completely melted. "this little trick is useful in frozen wastelands where liquid water is scarce, or you can boil water to clean it. you can even cook with this trick though I wouldn't recommend it the food always tastes funny, that may have been because I didn't know how to cook then?" sam paused to think on the question. daniel took the chance to rest he had been at this for the past three hours he felt like a boiled vegatble, he crawled over to where his water bottle and book bag was sitting mildly glad that sam warned him against bringing coffee but he didn't have to smile like that when he did.
"get back in the water I'm going to teach how to breathe fire," his friend almost choked on his water.
"won't that hurt!"
"not if you do it right and if you don't I know how to treat internal burns"
"no fucking no lets do something else!"
sam just rolled his eyes reassuring his friend he would be fine, but daniel remained stubborn so they changed to learning how to start a fire instead. sam then took a chunk of wood from his own messager bag and set it down, he set his pinky on it and a moment later it started to smoke and caught fire. sam then pulled out smores supples and tossed another piece of wood at his friend who ducked, sticking a few marshmallows on a skewer sam began to describe the difference of the processes of melting and starting a fire.

wondering if he had been played seeing how prepared his friend was daniel tried seeing the wood on the fire, by his fifth attempt he got a puff of smoke. 'adding enough heat can melt anything, but unfocused heat will never start a fire, just like sam just said how do I focus the heat...the finger wasn't sam being dramatic it was filled with enough heat to burn and start a fire.' holding up a finger daniel pooled all the heat in his body into it, placing it on the wood which smoked but didn't ignite. so daniel focused the heat into the tip, the wood finally caught after a stressful moment and the teen pulling his finger away watching the flickering flame grow.
"here!" daniel jumped realizing his friend was next to him offering out marshmallows and Coffe chocolates! he quickly popped a chocolate piece before getting to work and roasting a marshmallow." so what am I supposed to learn after this?"
"form the hear fire, what I've taught you are things to use after it been formed!" said responded as he brought over his burning wood, " there are plenty more but you really should focus on forming it!"
"Okay so how do I form it," Daniel asked as he made a smore.
"ignite your breath, let your heart burn and the heart flame becomes...that all I remember on forming the fire...don't look at me that way it was when I was around nine maybe."
"I still can't believe you forgot how old you were, what do those words even mean?!"
"well igniting your breath is the hard part control will let your heart burn after that!" sam put out his marshmallow before popping it in his mouth.
"How does that not burn?" sam just threw some chocolate and gram crackers in his mouth, smacking his face how his friend was daniel prepared to cook another marshmallow while trying to figure out he was going to ignite his breath. it sounds like fire breath but how ould that make his heart bru-,'oh hell no.' igniting his breath and breathing inward would make his heart burn and kill him burning his form the inside out. 'how did sam survive it?' daniels asked just that explaining his deduction of hint.
"control will let your heart burn, that is how you survive control the ignited breath and the heart fire is born!"
"could you be more extra!!"
sam took that as a challenge, "control is an important part of life, control your hunger control your rage, joy sadness pain instinct and you will control the path of your life even when life tries to control you."
"I should be mad but that was pretty damn cool," daniel sighed as his friend wore a victory smile. 'do I have the control to tame an ignited breath and let my heart burn I'm risking my life for this skill, but it will be of great use when I start wondering the planet like the rest of cursed members of his family have done. would sam come with me?'
sam twitched at the look on his friend's face, he was weighing his life. he was taking a risk if he tried to start the fire now. sam was thankful that daniel didn't want to light it today and they changed topics to there next video, daniel wanted sam to share some of his nomad time tales. "no I could get arrested for some of those stories, not the mention the people would like to track me down! I think we should show off something of yours."
"why you much more interesting!" but sam didn't waver telling his friend that he was incredibly interesting sam would know. making a mental note to complement daniel more sam listed off the things that he found interesting about his best friend uncaring how daniel's face became redder the longer he went on. "all right you made your point please stop! you know for all the find interesting about my I still don't understand what interesting about my dancing skills?"
"I have seen a thousand dances and I have seen anyone who dances quite like you," it was basically a subtle way to say he danced like he had three left feet and two of them were broken. but it was incredible to watch in a way enchanting like the waves it was amazing sam thought every time. "and I promise that if someone mocks you they will see me in their nightmares!"
"The fact that I know that will happen makes me feel better but worry about a whole new bunch of things like being sued!"
the cosmic lord scuffed, "they can't successfully sue without proof and you can't track my methods I spent a year to make sure of that fact." daniel opened his mouth to ask but decided not to possibly deniability something he had a surprisingly lot in relation to sam seeing as he talked about his many exploits.
"that doesn't mean they wouldn't try or dirty your reputation." he wasn't sure how to feel about the way sam started laughing when he asked why sam told him that his reputation was dirty already and could only get worse if he became a terrorist or a rapist. he decided not to comment on how he found those two on the same level, he then noticed that the fire went out sometime during there talk and he was bit wet and cold.
"I'm going to put my clothes and you should clean this up I do but that the gym owners would like evidence of a fire in their jacuzzi." sam didn't say anything he just got to work writing a rune to create a burst of wind that blew the ash into the jacuzzi waters ad then another to purify that waters, if daniel was still in the room he would have asked why before dropping it. standing up sam took in a deep breath drawing in all the heat of the room temporarily turning into a freezer allowing his body to dry before releasing it.
out of the jacuzzi room, sam quickly put his shoes on before walking out of the building where he waited for daniel. minutes passed before his direction cursed friend joined him and they headed out to a nearby park. they walked with sam leading not much conversation, when they got near sam felt a familiar being. 'well shit!', he considered turning around but the being noticed him as well sighing he prepared to be annoyed it got worse when he felt another presence.
'Garry should not meet them, I can't take that much aggression...and not retaliate in kind', he considered introducing them. they were similar in certain parts but their differences would prevent them from getting along and he would unleash something terrible on the islands and a good part of nearby ocean life. *sigh* "looks like I have to punch a god-he smirked- he willed be pissed but I wonder what he'll do about it," sam already knew the answer.
"um, what are you talking about?" daniel asked a little afraid to know, what god and why was sam going to punch him.
"Ares the Greek god of war, we have an unpleasant history together let just sam he wanted me to do things I have never agreed with." the look on sam's face stopped him from asking, that look sam had it sometime when he talks of his past reget and acceptance sometimes there were more emotions positive or negative.
grumbling daniel asked if he really had to punch the god, "well no but that's the best way to deal with that war god."
*sigh*," let us get this over with I want to enjoy some peace before the sunsets." sam smiled while wondering what the fuck he meant by us he could be planning to be at his side while he dealt with the god. then he remembered that if he wasn't keeping his actions secret from him and his parent they would totally be helping/interfering with his business as the lord of lust.
'i have no idea what going to happened to I!'
