In a complete darkness of his mind, Nevada wondered around, searching for the blue fire. He doesn't know how long has it passed since he appeared here, but he knows it has been a long time. The entire time he has searched for it, but without any lead where he should go.

So he just sits down to think what to do, until he is hit with an idea. It may be pointless, but so is just wandering around. And so, Nevada gets into a lotus position and starts to meditate again. His idea is to go deeper into his mind to find it, like in that one movie where the group went deeper into dreams. He remembers liking that movie, but he has forgotten what exactly it was called.

So he starts to meditate again while trying to imagine a blue flame.

After a while, he opens his eyes and sees himself in a completely gray space, with still no seeable flame in his sight.

'Hmm. Maybe I need to go on until the space is white?'He thinks and starts to meditate once again.

He opens his eyes and sees a lighter shade of gray space and so, he starts again. This goes on for five times, before he opens his eyes and sees the space around him is so white that it seems that he is existing in nothingness.

So he slowly gets onto his feet and looks around the place, until his eyes stop and a slight smile forms on his face. In the distance, he sees something blue and bright.

"It must be the flame."he mutters and starts moving towards it. He walks and walks and the flame gets closer and closer, until he reaches in front of it.

The blue ball of fire is burning in front of him and without hesitation, he grabs it and everything goes dark in front of him.

Nevada groans and slowly opens his eyes, only to see a pair of emerald green eyes staring at him. He looks closer at her and sees, that this is Tania, who is staring at her. She looks at him for a few more seconds, before running off into the building.

He looks at her running away until she disappears from his sight. He lets out a sigh and then groans, as he tries to move his body. His bones crack, as he gets onto his feet and stretches his body. He looks up in the sky and sees that the sun is raising in the sky and is lower, when he started. This means, that he stayed the entire night here.

"Aah fuck."he groans as he stretches his back.

He shakes his head a little and then sees Yre coming out of the building, with Tania hiding behind her.

"Ooh Nevada. Did you find it?"she asks him and he replies"Yeah. How long was I out?"

"Almost two days."Yre answers.

"So long. Wow."Nevada mutters, but Yre corrects him immediately"This is a very short time. I have seen kitsunes meditate weeks straight to find their flame, but you right now beat your fathers record, which makes you now the fastest kitsune to find their flames."

"Huh."he says, not knowing what else to say.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Okay Nevada. Because you just found your flame, we can go to step two of your training: Learning to control it."Yre says and then demonstrates. "Like this."she says and immediately a blue ball of flame appears above her open hand.

"This is the Blue Flame, that only Kitsunes can use. So it's our exclusive magic. The Blue Flame is the hottest one that a person could create with magic."

She them takes out a knife and puts it into the flame for two seconds, before taking it out of it, revealing a knife with a missing blade.

"The flame is only hot in touch. As long as it doesn't touch anything physical, it can't affect anything. Normally with this got flame, the heat it would emit would be ridiculous, but the Blue Flame doesn't do that."she says and holds what's left of the knife over the flame, but nothing doesn't happen to it. She puts it in and takes it out, to reveal more of the knife burned up.

She then closes her hands, making the flame disappear. She looks at Nevada and says"And now, you will try to create your own Blue Flame. Until you get it done, you can't leave. Just think about the flame and create it."

Yre says and leaves, leaving Tania behind, who stares at Nevada.

"What?"he asks, but immediately remembers that she is a mute, so she say anything.

She looks at him and then her mouth moves in an attempt to say something to him, but no sound come out. He only understands few letters of her word"Us" before she ran of with unhearable steps.

'It was longer then two letters, which means that she couldn't mean "Us" as a word. But something longer that contains these two letters. Huuh. Whatever for now. Lets try to make the flame.'He thinks and starts concentrating on creating a flame on his hands.

It doesn't take long for him to create the Blue Flame iver his hand. As he looks at the hovering flame over his palm, he takes out his knife from his boot and puts it into the flame, to test it out. It goes on for a few seconds, before being pulled out. Nevada looks at the knife with a confused face, because instead of melting, like it was supposed to, it had completely frozen and had a layer of ice on the blade.

"The hell?"Nevada mutters and closes his palm, extinguishing the flame with it. He gets onto his feet and walks to the Monastery to look for Yre, to consult about it.

As he walks around in search for Yre, he suddenly feels a threat approaching him. So out of relfex, he grabs the attackers hand and throws him over his shoulder, slamming him into the floor. With his nails out, he holds them against the attackers face.

"Easy easy. I was kits testing."the blond-haired blue-eyed kitsune tells him, while holding up his hands. Feeling no more bad intentions coming from him, he retracts his nails and moves his hand away from his face.

The kitsune himself gets up onto his feet, while rubbing his back and groaning as he does that. He stretches, before reaching out his hand and introducing himself"Names Eric." Nevada reaches out his hand and says"Nevada."

They both shake their hands, as both of them starts to squeeze the others hand much harder, while staring at each other. This goes on for thirty seconds, before Eric lets go, making Nevada the winner of the Ego battle they just had.

"You win this time."Eric says jokingly and then just walks of, like nothing ever happened. Nevada looks at him with a slightly confused face, before getting back to looking for Yre.

"So something like that can happen."Yre commented as she saw what Nevada did in front of her eyes. He found her five minutes ago and immediately told her that they need to talk.

"Any idea why it is happening?"Nevada asks and closes his palm which extinguished the flame.

"Hmm. I have theory that it may be something to do with you being the Ice Emperor and the controller of the Ice Element. Maybe your body was changed after that and so instead of creating warm flames, you create cold ones instead. So there is a chance that all of your Elemental magics now can have a cold effect or something like that."Yre says what she thinks why exactly it is like that and Nevada after thinking about it, comments

"Yeah. It makes sense. But I wouldn't have know about it, as the only Elemental Magic I have ever know is Ice"

"Well I guess you have to think outside of the box with your Frozen Flame."Yre says.

"Did you just name it Frozen Flame?"Nevada asks her.

"Well then. Lets get to onto step three of your training."

"Don't ignore my question."Nevada says, only to have him fall deaf to Yres ears, who walks away from the room.
