Chapter 30: Invitation

I gathered sticks from around the area and made a pile by the river. Zoran had refused to give me any more oil or starting fire after another rather large explosion, so I was going to make my own.

Once I had a fair amount, I knelt and put my hand on top of them. Clenching my jaw, I focused. Nothing happened. I squinted my eyes and put all my mind power into creating fire. I peeked and saw nothing.

“Arg!” I threw back my head. “Why is this so damn hard?” I rubbed my forehead. Some much time had been wasted and I had nothing to show for it. I was starting to think I was only capable of blowing up.

I grabbed a stick and squeezed it in my hands. “Come on, come on.” I gritted my teeth. “Come on, do something!”

A little smoke billowed up, but there wasn’t even a spark.

“Damn it!” I threw them on the ground and kicked the pile. A string of fire came from my foot.

“Woah.” I froze. I’d done it!

I picked up one of the sticks and saw the black mark on the side. I forgot starting a fire in this garden was a lot harder than the outside world. I peered up at the balcony. There wasn’t much to burn up there, either. I wandered about picking up the sticks and putting them in a pile. Taking a deep breath, I kicked them again.

Nothing.

“Come on,” I groaned.

I wanted to yank out my hair. This shouldn’t be so hard. Firebirds could make fire. It was part of the name. I should have been able to do it, too. Clenching my fists, I felt heat build up in my fingers. I held out my hands and found my palms had a small flame flickering in the center of them. The fire died out. Sitting cross-legged, I focused on that feeling of frustration. The fire reappeared.

“Yes!” I pumped my fists in the air. “I did it. I did it!”

Jumping to my feet, I ran back to the castle. Sirens scattered as I hurried down the path. I raced through the entryway and up the stairs to the room.

“Zoran!”

He wasn’t there. I wandered around the living area. “Zoran, I need to show you something.”

He was nowhere to be seen. I sat down on the bed with a sigh. I guess I could show him later.

“Yes?” said a voice behind me.

I spun around to see Zoran walked toward me while scanning through a book.

“I figured it out.” Taking a deep breath, I brought back that feeling of anger. The fire rose out of my palms. “Look, see? I did it.” I held my hands up to him.

Tossing his book on the bed, Zoran grabbed my wrist. “Not in here, stupid boy.” He dragged me out onto the balcony.

My shoulders dropped. “I wasn’t going to blow anything up.”

Once outside, Zoran spun me around in front of him. “Alright.”

Nervous started to develop as he stared at me. Biting my lips, I held my hands out and focused.
