☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I ordered various projectiles for the fire mage, various wands, staffs, and other torches. But I think some of these could be used like a sword or dagger, but not in a real fight, but more smoothly and thoughtfully, when you know, you're learning a new technique or something. It's quite similar to a dance; I often watched Guiyoshi's training sessions and can compare!

"I heard that swords or something sword-like are also made for this craft, but maybe it's just a nuance of the Rhemic traditions. Well, let's see, maybe something suitable for my ideas will turn up. In any case, there's an inventory here for every taste and color, hehe. It will be worth trying to practice with everything, sooner or later, otherwise it will turn out that we ordered it for nothing. It certainly won't be superfluous... although, perhaps, it's my dislike for half-measures speaking. If you're going to do something, do it wholeheartedly."

Since sword skills were familiar and close to Alaria, she decided that there was a point in trying to bring her ideas to life. At the very least, as a first step on this path. She'll start with something close and familiar, as a foundation, and then apply the experience gained to increasingly distant areas. Isn't that usually how it works? At least, that's her own experience.

First of all, the girl began to practice the movements, the routine that had formed in her mind. First, without flames, but only as "simple" swings and tricks. It was necessary to master the details, refine them, get used to the chosen equipment, and then add elements on top. Although the arena for the fire show was in every way fenced off, this was still not a sufficient reason to neglect her own or anyone else's safety. Perhaps it wasn't very spectacular for an outside observer, but there was its own beauty in the process, because these individual and seemingly simple details together should become something much greater. And the realization of such things made the path to the final goal no less beautiful than the goal itself. At least, in the eyes of the Tanarian.

After the physical exercises, both fencing and otherwise, it was time to control the flames. Despite its destructive power, the techniques of the path of fire did not harm her allies. Alaria knew this perfectly well. The flashes created by her sword swings blinded her opponents, but not her comrades. And not herself. For greater safety of the performance, it was worth applying the knowledge gained here as well. To protect those present from the potential harm of such a colorful performance. To learn to extinguish the flame in time if the blazing equipment suddenly flew out of her hands. Or, on the contrary, to give it even more color, without the harm that could accompany this color. It was worth understanding her capabilities and their limitations well before moving on.

And then, when both types of training were completed, it was necessary to combine the results into a single colorful spectacle. Something that could look complex and menacing, but with the steps taken and a responsible approach, it was easier than one might think. All movements were refined and mastered, and the necessary adjustments were made. She was an experienced warrior. In unity with the fiery element, the girl was also confident. Therefore, combining all this knowledge into a single performance was a natural and organic process for her. An act in which she dissolved and to which she surrendered completely. The improvised sword was an extension of her body, and the fire of her soul burned brightly and resonated with the fiery element that surrounded her. As the girl felt, with the most fiery heart of the planet, the beauty of which she expressed in her art.
