Elric's form sat crosslegged in his new home. He sat near the fire in the Alchemy Lab and stared into it's orange glow. To Elric, fire was simply the product of a chemical reaction, wholy unremarkable on it's own, and without control it was a dangerous force to be reckoned with. That control was seemingly out of Elric's grasp, he could learn to, but for some reason not use his own chakra supply. The light danced across his face and body and he felt the warmth of the flames bathe his right arm as he extended it out to the crackling fire. In his hand was a piece of paper, cut to six inches in length, and two wide. He gently brushed the edge against the limits of the heat until it began to smoke and a light started to devour the edges of the sheet.

He Pulled it in close now, and focused on it. Elric may not have had the personal skill to master his own chakra but Svayam, his alter-ego, did. He rubbed the page between his forefinger and thumb and worked his chakra into it. He felt the fibers of the sheet with both his hands and his chakra and got to intimately know the tightly packed fibers and strands of pulp that held it together before moving up with chakra alone to the encroaching ember. His eyes were shut for this, he knew he shouldn't have to depend on them and should instead feel the fire itself. Feel the heat. Feel the heat, he chanted over and over again in his mind. His chakra spread across the paper, now nearly half way burned, and he waited in tense anticipation for a sensation he would be entirely unprepared for.

When the fire touched his chakra, he felt like time slowed for just a moment, to allow him to experience the true agony that fire could bring. His chakra was still very much attached to him, and his desire to experience flame was akin to taking a branding iron to a raw nerve. Except it was his whole body. His chakra circulated power through his body faster than his heart pumped blood, and the pain he took from this tiny ember scorched through him at the speed of thought. His mouth tingled, his flesh was suddenly tender, his nose dried so quickly it felt as if it would erupt with blood. He could taste ash in his mouth, smell the burning of the paper so strongly made his vision cloud with tears. 'Was this fire?' He asked himself in that moment of fear as he truly believed he would be burnt up from the inside out. His mind reeled and he almost gave in to the rush of agony.

The moment ended, however, and the pain left as suddenly as it had came, and when he looked down at the paper, he saw it had all turned to ash. "Fuck." He cursed under his breath and got up to retrieve a second sheet of the same dimensions. When he crossed back to where he was sitting, he had a hard frown etched onto his face as he mulled over what had just happened. 'I made the connection, so why...? Is this not my element?' He shook his head and let out a sigh before sitting back down. "Feel the heat, feel the heat," he began his chant again outlout before outstretching his hand. This time he pulled up short just before the edge of the corona. "Feel the heat?" He looked at the paper, pristine and white, and closed his eyes and sighed again in frustrated realization. He felt the heat.

He needed to be the heat. He lit the end of the page as he had done last time and let the small embers roll down the page. His chakra went up to meet it and this time, he wouldn't be a passive observer. When the embers struck the chakra, his body didn't experience the pain it had before. This time, it was a flood of euphoria. The joy that comes with eating, with winning, and taking. The joy of growth and life crashed down onto Svayam's soul and he knew that this was a feeling that would be far to strong and far to lasting for Elric to miss when they switched back. Svayam didn't care. His chakra fell onto the tiny flames that sat between the fibers of the paper, stoking their power with his own and becoming one with it. He steadily trickled his chakra into the flames to act as the fuel to sustain the warmth, and after a few moments, he no longer smelled the smoke from the burning paper, but instead he smelled his own burning chakra. He opened his eyes to see the sheet of paper, half burned, and a straight line of glowing, striking orange seemingly unwilling to burn the rest, but unable to go out.

Svayam went outside, behind his house to continue his training. Fire was too wild a force to be unleashed indoors. Outside was as cold as his country always was, the fall stillness held little difference from the summer breeze and the dry air crackled in his lungs. Good burning weather. Svyam rubbed his hands together and breathed into his cupped palms to warm them up. The technique he was going to try was one he had heard about many times, as it was the first technique most practitioners of fire used against their enemies. The Great Fireball Technique. Like most ninjutsu, it required handseals, but Svyam had learnt a long time ago a different method.

He began to hum, stirring his chakra with the vibrations and slow melody. He raised his voice into a low note and made it warble, and the energy within him rippled like a disturbed pond. He cut the note short with a sharp inhale of breath and then a strong exhale that released a powerful...breath of warm air. Svyam frowned. He began to him again, this time shifting the notes into a steady, dark rhythm. The chakra within him ebbed and flowed with the beat and slowly the rhythm worked through his body, but it didn't feel right. The waves were too calm, too slow, and too lacking in the ferocity of fire.

Svyam suddenly changed the pace of his tune. Now the rhythm picked up, and he added words to help lose himself in the song though these weren't common words, they were of the Abyss. He spoke it fluently and sang in it often, preferring it over common for chakra-casting. There was power in the words, and the rhythm, and together he wove the two into a pattern that sent his chakra roiling through his body. He didn't stop his song until his hand began to tingle with the slightest warmth. He brought it up to his lips and curled his index and thumb into a half circle. The chakra invisibly spider-webbed it's way between them into a fine net of rippling energy.

He breathed in slowly, careful to mix his chakra with the air this time. His lungs were full to bursting and the stirring energy within him heated his insides in a comforting warmth. He looked up to the sky and tilted his head back, then let his breath out. The air mixed with chakra passed through the ring, and the chakra that lay between them. When the two met, the air ignited and a spout of flame shot forth from him nearly a foot into the air. He felt himself overcome with a childish amount of excitement as the small spout of flame gushed forth from his mouth, but he crushed it down and pulled his hand away to cut off what he knew was a half completed technique.

'Half at best,' he mentally corrected himself as he started his song again. This time, sitting cross legged in the snow. The cold would have irritated him, but his failings irritated him more, and he took this as his punishment. The song started again, Abyssal words slipping forth with grace to simultaneously dance along the notes and act as a conductor to the symphony his chakra sang back inside him. The music was otherworldly, and he formed the shape over his mouth and breathed in, he held onto the feeling of the music so intently he lost himself within it for a moment. The song he sang was fire, an evocation of it's will, and when he breathed out through the ring he made with his demon right hand, that will was manifest in a torrent of flame that warmed his face and immediately melted the snow around him.

The ball was massive, easily able to swallow him whole twice over, and it spiraled before him, bound in the net that he had woven in his fingers. Power bound, and his will of flame realized. But his control was far from perfect, there were higher levels to achieve, even within this technique.

Svyam pulled his hand away and cut the technique off. Then, he began to sing again.

"You bitch!" A shout cut Svayam's singing, and stole his attention. Screams of panic came from the other side of the fence to his left, and he sighed in response. Ever since he moved here he heard the arguments and fighting from his neighbors, and it broke Elric's little heart, and irritated Svayam to no end. Instead he decided to focus, and turn his mind away. decided to turn it inwards and focus on new techniques.

Earth. It's stable, cold, and utilitarian. Svayam grasped a stone in his hand, rough and uneven like all stones were, and he closed his eyes and held the image of it in his head. He focused on the pores, on the cracks and imperfections.
