Qingsai's second lesson was Flameform Kata, a ritual martial dance performed under the rising twin moons of Myria. Each movement channeled fire not from force—but from emotional harmony.
"Fire feeds on anger, but is perfected by clarity," said Kai'Zor.
Under the waterfall of sparks, Qingsai flowed through sequences:
🔥 Scorching Palm of the South Wind
🔥 Ashwing Spiral Stance
🔥 Solar Spear Form
He stumbled, flames bursting wildly. But slowly, Qingsai began to synchronize fire to breath, emotion to motion.
A surprise sparring session followed. He faced two senior Emberpath adepts—brothers cloaked in flame-slicked robes. They launched precise fire strikes that sang through the air.
Qingsai, driven by instinct, twisted and countered. His flames glowed with a silvery-orange shimmer—Soulkindled fire.
The temple elders watched in silence. For the first time in decades, the ancient Sixfold Flame Spiral was beginning to manifest during combat.
