*I catch the rock and immediately begin to feel the heat emanating from within it. I then look at Typhon and nod with a confident facial expression, proceeding to sit down with my legs in a crossed position, closing my eyes and meditating as instructed. I begin to feel the wind blowing around us as the heat of the sun bears down upon the earth relentlessly. "Focus on the heat of the rock and imagine the flame in your mind" a familiar voice echoed from my consciousness, as I began to imagine a small, dim flame surrounded by darkness. As this occurs I take note of the feeling of warmth that is radiating through out my palms as I'm grasping the heated rock. I then begin to truly feel for the element, as time passes by and the small, dim flame seemed to have increased in size and intensity. It was during this time that I realized that the darkness surrounding the flame seemed to have retreated from the source of light. "Fire" I thought to myself, "It is fierce and reliable, it gives chase to the darkness and destroys anything in it's path. It is truly a destructive element." At this point the flame that I had been imagining had evolved into a fire of monumental proportion, and I could feel it's heat consume me as I suddenly opened my eyes in amazement. "I.." said I, "....need some water! I'm parched!"*
