"Harder," Azil urged "Try harder, Nikolas. Feel it from within. Let your Phoenix instincts guide you."
Nikolas' brow furrowed in concentration. He raises his hands facing the flame and focuses on the burning sensation within him.
They stood in the castle's training room that was organized by Alexander for nikolas training.
Nikolas eyes are fixed intently on the small flame dancing before him while Azil stood beside him.
He has been trying for hours, His Phoenix powers has been stirring but it keeps going back .
"Imagine the fire extinguishing," Azil instructed. "Visualize the flames dwindling, disappearing."
Nikolas takes another deep breath and pictured the flame dying down. He poured his energy , his frustration into the visualization, feeling the familiar surge of heat within him.
The flame wavers, its brightness diminishing. Nikolas' eyes lit up with excitement.
"I'm doing it!" he exclaimed.
