#either way have this moment from the past wherein emet questions life choices

"Okay now I want you to aim for the rock to the right-."

"Mine or yours?"

"Yours." Emet-Selch clears his throat, taking a few more steps to the side, "Now remember what I told you about feeling the energy of the fire and how it flows. When you feel you've gathered enough of it, you then need to, for now, gently throw it."

Anthea nods fervently, dropping into the beginners stance he showed them, taking a deep breath. Their eyes lock squarely on the rock he's indicated, feeling the way the fire flows from the air around them to the focus of the staff and tingling their fingers. Just focus on the rock like he said. If I focus it'll go in that direction. Inhaling deeply they throw their arm out willing the fire to release and watching as nothing emits from the staff.

Anthea straightens out, giving the staff a bit of a shake, "What in the-?"

In an instant they see the little ball of fire expand at Emet-Selch's feet. He jumps back with a startled yelp, Anthea's hand quickly covering their gasp. As quickly as it was conjured the fire dissipates leaving only a few glowing embers on the edges of Emet-Selch's robe.

Anthea fumbles for words as the man sighs, patting the ash off, "Maybe we try something that doesn't involve aiming, seeing as this wasn't any safer than archery."

Part 2 of this ask! and a slight companion to this set!
