The Arena
“Look at my fire, memorize the sight, the sound, the feel of it. Touch it, Cedric, learn how my fire feels on your skin. Memorize that feeling.
I do as she says. I watch the swirling ball of reds, oranges and yellows. I hear the whooshing and sizzling sounds of the fire in her hand and when I touch it, I feel the how the fire is drawn to me, how it feels alive against my skin.
“Now, put your arms out, palms up.”
I do as she says, and she puts her hands under mine. “Close your eyes.” She says and I do.
“I want you to think about my fire. How it looks, how it feels, how it sounds and smells when it’s in my hand.” She gives me a minute.
