He took a deep breath, trying to draw power from within, and mimicked Faedric's movements as best as he could. The fire he produced, however, was a far cry from what his master had done. It was a measly flame he couldn't keep up for long. He was embarassed. It usually was much better than this.

"I don't know what went wrong," Toku said. "I'm usually much better at this."
