Melody had lost her appetite, although she did feel slightly better about going home now. She ate a bit more then headed towards the demonstration lab, where she entered,the first one there. Elliot, hearing lady Violetta say this, ran up to the buffet and grabbed a quick 5th serving before the buffet closed. He ate like crazy because he had an abnormally fast metabolism, it just burns off like *that*.

"Ok let's go than Lday Violetta" I said appearing outside the door
"Sorry I'm late I got lost"

“Everyone stand behind one of the individual tables, please. Today we are going to explore the four basic Elements and learn how much control that we have over each one. I have placed colored boxes each in their own color pile. We will use each of the four boxes before we are done. After we are through with these 4 basic elements, we will know how strong your abilities are in these areas.”
Lady Violetta took her wand out and wrote in the air in various colors representing the Element Fire. She also made diagrams as she spoke.

“The first thing to always remember is:
All the magics have their ups and downs. What I have drawn with my wand is the basic rune for Fire. Please try making this rune while I am speaking.
The first elemental magic that we will study is Fire. To have a fire you must have 3 things. An air source, a material source and a source of heat as seen in this Fire Triangle. Not enough of air or material to burn or too much of one will not allow a fire to start.

1) Fire -- You can manipulate fire, adding heat and light to what you do, you can weaken shadows, and melt ice, as well as burn other organisms. However, a strong wind, or ample water or earth can snuff you out.
Everyone now may get a red box from the pile and open it at the table. When you open the box the you will see a holder and six candles. In the bottom of the holder is a waste bin for the candle wax which can be reused. To make new candles, you will need to set up the candle maker. The ball of twine is your material to be burnt. You pour the melted candle wax from your waste bin into the candle mold.
Now for the experiment. Put the candle in the holder then set it on the table. Now to light the candle, you need to imagine a heat source being placed at the tip of the candle. Once you have lit the candle, put it out by some kind of means other than you own breath."

After eating, Ayaka got up and walked her frost wolf pup back to her room. "I'll be back in a bit" she told the pup before heading to the Demonstration Lab. Following Lady Violetta's instructions, she stood behind a table and began listening to the lecture. When told to do so, Ayaka went to get a red box and brought back to the table to open it. She opened the box to see everything there that the headmistress said would be there. Ayaka followed the instructions to make the candle and was now concentrating on the wick in order to light it. imagine a heat source? She started thinking and remembered she usually had a space heater in her room during the winter months back on earth. But imagining that being placed at the tip of the candle??

Elliot had listened attentively to lady violetta's words, and spaced out on the candle, trying to imagine a wave of intense heat on top of the candle. Suddenly, as he was concentrating, the wick lit, but so did the ENTIRE candle. Fire shot up into his face, and Elliot shielded his face with his arm.

After quite awhile, Ayaka managed to light the candle and was now trying to remember the second part of the experiment. What was it Lady Violetta said again? After about a minute she remembered she was supposed to put the candle out by some other way than blowing it out. She started thinking of how that could work out.

Noirin went to the lab and listen then got her red box. It was quite simple to imagine the wick to heat up and that work quickly. Now trying to put it out without blowing on it was harder. Knowing that she had to take one of the legs of the fire triangle away, she tried to take the heat away. She held her hand next to the candle and simply absorbed the heat. The candle slowly went out.

Lady Violetta was keeping a close eye on her students and when Elliot's candle went up in a flame, she simply took the heat away by grasping the melting candle wax then reshaped the candle.
"Try again but go more slowly and use less heat this time, ok?" she spoke softly with a smile.

Elliot focused and it took him many tries, but finally, he lit JUST the wick of the candle. He figured he would take away one of the components necessary for fire, so he cupped his hands around it and sucked all the oxygen out of the air near the candle, making it snuff itself out.

Melody was having more trouble. She couldn't seem to get the hang of the fire. It just wouldn't light no matter how hard she tried. She was seeing everyone else light their candles, and was starting to wonder why she couldn't just light hers.

"Melody, remember what it takes to make a fire. You must have a source of fuel which is the wick, there is air all around us and you need a heat source. Where can you find a heat source?" Lady Violetta asked in an encouraging way as she watched the girl struggle.

Once breakfast was over and Chicoti had moved into the Demonstration Lab, she took up a table near Elliot. Once they were able to start practicing she took a moment to watch the other students before turning to her own candle. Jeez, all of the lessons seemed to have something to do with candles today! For this lesson she needed a heat source.... Hmm... Chicoti looked around the room for ideas of heat sources before giggling quietly at Elliot's candle bursting into flames. In her head she imagined taking her candle over to Elliot's to "borrow" some of his fire. After Lady Violetta put his candle out, her aqua eyes continued around the room to look for ideas, completely oblivious to the fact that her candle had a very small flame on it's tip.

Dante watched all the others light there candles, Dante wanted to try a diffrent approach though he focused on his right Hand and snapped his fingers in between his pointer and thumb a small flame appeared Dante then lit the candle when he was done he seperated his fingers and watched as the flame disappeared. Dante then grabbed the wick of the candle with his pointer and thumb snuffing the flame.

Ayaka was focusing on trying to take one of the components needed for a fire away to put it out. She figured trying to think of something that would cool something down instead of warming something up would work. Eventually some water just fell on top of the candle while she was thinking of things that would cool stuff off. Where it put the flame out, Ayaka had no idea how that happened. She squeaked a little in surprise. "Water???"

"I think that we have practiced our fire making enough for to day. Now for the water experiment which is in the blue box. Each may put the fire experiment box under the table then pick out a blue box.
Water -- You can manipulate water, moistening things, doesn't sound like much, but drowning is an unpleasant way to die. You can also wear away at earth, and kill fires. Electricity can easily take you down though.


Water can take any form in is liquid state or in it’s gaseous state. Ice will be a solid and will not form into another shape than what it is in until it changes form again.

For this experiment, I want you to pull water out of this room and place it in the tank. Then you will proceed to make the water move by another means. You may make waves or make the water push up the inside tube and fall back down the outside tube or even up the outside tube and down the inside tube.” Lady Violetta spoke.

Noirin put her red box away and got a blue box. She set the water tank out on the table and tried to think how to take water out of the air and put it in the box.

Ayake put the red box away and got the blue box. She started setting up the water tank, trying to remember just how she got water to fall on the candle because pulling water out of the air to put into a tank seemed to be the same principle.

Eliza noctice that round the classroom most people was having trouble with fire.

She got fire to light up right away but when the class moved to water, things became harder move so she rise her hand to ask for some help from Lady Violetta.
