The Chronicles of Kazuma Takahame

'where.....where am I? Am I dreaming?' I looked around and everything was dark and kinda spooky  I was walking in the depths of the darkness, I saw my home being on fire and my mother, sister screaming and my brother and father trying to fight for their lives to protect them. 'Dad! Hamato!' I yelled their names and they didn't hear me. Then I saw a woman carrying one of my dad's swords and killed them in one swift of an attack 'Mom! Dad! Hamato, Murasaki!' they were all killed by the same woman blood was on my fathers kitana and she was staring towards me with the eyes of death and ready to kill she rushed towards me and with one swift of the sword, "AAH!! *Pants* W-What the?" I woke up in a room and I dripping in sweat. I was surprised and mostly shocked to see no to have that dream. "It must have been a dream or a terrifying nightmare. So that was Kadoshi Takumia huh? I guess I better get stronger if I want to beat her" I got out bed and I saw a uniform on the left dresser with a note on the clothes 'Here put these on you'll need them for your training today. Sensei Akashiya'  The uniform i had to wear was a black headband with a fire symbol on the headband, A white t shirt with a black tank top to go over the t shirt with a small fire symbol on the left side of the shirt, black pants and black shoes. 'where'd she get the time to get me a uniform?' I thought about it but I rolled with it and put on my uniform and headed outside to meet Shima Akashiya. I walked and I saw her there meditating in the middle of the field . I walked towards her and she opened her eyes. "Hello there Mazurka. I was wondering when you were going to arrive. So are you ready to start training ?" "Yes ma'am I'm ready to start training" she smiled and said to me "Well then, lets get started. But first, lets stretch first before we begin." I nodded and I began to stretch for a while. after fifteen minutes of stretching we proceeded with training. "okay Mazurka lets begin with channeling your energy, it'll help you control your fire abilities and your energy towards battle." I nodded and I asked her "How do I channel my energy?" she walked towards me and  said to me, "well the first step is to meditate, concentrate on your energy and focus on your power, remember this: You are in control of your power, do not let your power control you" after she told me what I had to do I said to her with confidence "I understand." I sat in the middle of the field and began to meditate. I closed my eyes and began to breathe in and out slowly. 'Channel your energy. Do not let your power control you' her advice echoed in my mind and I was focusing on my power and channeling my fire in a circular motion.  Fire was circling around my body and risen from the ground and through my mind. "That's it Mazurka concentrate and most of all relax yourself. I nodded and continued meditating. I opened my eyes and I was calm and stood up and moved my hands in a circular motions flowing  the directions of the wind. 'his pattern of the wind it's different from mine, the way he moves his body its almost perfect, this kids got potential  and heart of my last student.' she thought to herself as she was watching me.  After following the directions of the wind, I felt my mother presence next to me, helping me, guiding me and changing the patterns of my hands and moving my body with the wind. A ball of fire was appearing on my hands and I focus it on one attack "Fire blast!" I threw the fire ball into one swift motion. "I-I don't believe it.... you actually created an attack." Sensei Akashiya said with awe. "Wow I cant believe I did it." I said  happily but I knew there's more I need to learn. "You completed  the  first step in your training but there is more you need to learn." I nodded and I said to her "I'm ready for the next step in my training" I stood in confidence knowing that this is only the beginning of my training.  "Alright Mazurka, let's get started. Now that you channeled your energy, its time to control your fire abilities, you do have confidence in your heart but you have the soul of a phoenix."
