When Ryli, and Zeke reappeared they were in a room with a circular platform in the middle and many unlit torches sorrounding it. "This place is sacred and has been a part of us for many long years." He said explaining to her. "Come..." He said to her and he led her to the middle where the platform was. Zeke took a seat on the platform with his legs crossed and every torch became lit with fire...

Ryli looked around with awe as she took her seat next to Master. "Master, what do the Sheikah use this place for?" She asked. Eyeing the flames, she wondered if she'd ever be able to learn magic like that. After all, Master had told her that if she DID learn to use magic, her powers would be elemental and offensive, and fire deffinitely covers both of those.

"Meditating..." he said quickly, and quietly. The rest he wouldn't tell her, that part was kept to only the Sheikah. After reading her thoughts, Zeke shook his head. "Not in the same manner I just did...You'd have to unleash a kind of attack that would light every torch at once." He explained to her.

Ryli closed her eyes and meditated, just as Master was doing. She cleared her mind of everything. Her senses became heightened, and the flickering of the torches sounded like roaring. She never took time to clear her mind, so this was a new experience. She could hear Master breathing in and out steadily. Other than those sounds, all was completely quiet....

Meditating was something done by the Sheikah so they could tap into their thoughts. The long hours they spent doing this helped them to become powerful in magic. This room was where Zeke would teach Ryli to tap into the power of her people as he had tapped into his years before.

The roaring of the torches seemed to get louder to Ryli, causing her to focus in on it. It sounded so familiar.... Like it was awakening something buried deep within her. The burning desert sand... The hot sun... The roaring got so loud Ryli could barely stand it. It was almost hurting her ears.

Zeke could sense the feelings Ryli was getting, and knew it was happening. 'Endure it little Gerudo,' he thought to himself. 'Embrace the flames...' Zeke continued to put his area of meditation at Rylis thoughts to see how she was doing.

Ryli felt her body heat up, as if the flames had left the torches and were covering her body. She started breathing faster. She knew she must stay calm. Images of her desert home flooded her mind. "Ryli, this is so familiar to you, the first familiar thing since you left your home," she thought. An overwhelming sense of happiness washed over her. She felt the burning move from her entire body to only her arms, then down to her hands. The burning changed to a warmth that was comforable and manageable.

'Shes done it,' Zeke thought. Maybe once he was done in service he should become a teacher. To think that it was this easy was a bit of a shock though. Maybe Ryli had a knack for it, or maybe he really did help her tap into this potential. Either way another part of training her was now done and they could continue with more.

Ryli opened her eyes and looked at her hands. They had a redness about them that definitely wasn't there before. She thought about the fire and the desert agiain. When she did, flames leaped from her fingertips across her hands till her entire hand was covered. Even on fire, there was still only a comfortable warmth. She smiled up at Master, "Care to fight me now?" She laughed, hoping he'd know she was only joking.

"Don't get too cocky, Ryli, even now I could still beat you." He said with a laugh knowing she was kidding. She was now able to use fire, soon he'd try to figure out a way to teach her more elements. "I wonder if you'd learn how to use ice if I froze you." He had no seriousness to this thought but rather thought it would be funny.

Ryli laughed. "Ummm let's not try it like that please!" She'd lived in the desert all her life and did NOT handle cold well. She smiled, "Have I made up for my horrible fighting skills yet?" She was only half serious about the question. She just wanted to know what he thought of how she was progressing. Ryli didn't want to progress at the pace of a handicapped Sheikah.

"But it might work!" Zeke replied with a laugh. Then as if out of nowhere it hit him, he was showing emotions. Was he getting weak in his training, no he couldn't be... He brushed this thought off as Ryli asked him her next question. He didn't want her to get cocky so to stop that all he said was. "For the most part..."

Ryli was confused. How could somebody go from being happy to serious that fast? Was he just faking being happy, or faking being serious? His comment hurt her. "So I am just a little handicap Sheikah?" She said this with the puppy-dog eyes, hoping to lighten the mood. Master had a nice laugh, and she wanted him to be happy again.

"Nope, worse," when he said that he gave out a little laugh. "I'm kidding, your making great pace, im rather impressed. Either you have great potential, or byour masters just a good teacher." He then thought for a second about explaining his different moods but then decided not to...
