Magic

Story 1, part 1

Link crashed to his knees while gasping for air. The room's temperature was probably higher than inside of the Death Mountain's volcano. He knew to be the reason for such climate but he couldn't care less. He was sweaty, out of breath and tired but nonetheless he stood back up, even though shakily.

The Hero had come to this specific room early in the morning. About two and half hours had gone already by going through the obstacle road the huge complex had. Those different rooms with unique pathway had been his own idea. It simply was for better training with his weapons and to find new ways to use them for his advantage.

Once he had reached the corridor of several rooms, he made his way into the last of the whole house. The golden haired warrior rarely used the room but it was best one when he concentrated into his magic abilities. The room's outlook was normal to any given training room but it was enchanted. One part of this specialty was to keep the air breathable while the room was filled with the given magic. For example, if Link practiced with water magic, the room would slowly fill up with water. The second part was to make it harder to bring out the magic the longer it was practiced with.

Luckily the room didn't catch on fire as the Hero practiced with the said magic but the heat would stay and increase whole time. Even with the Goron Tunic on, the cerulean eyed male was starting to have hard time in there since he had been going on nearly nonstop. He had stopped only once to eat something before going straight back into working with his ability.

First thing Link had learned of Din's Fire was to call it out and let it spread all around him without control. It had been a good way to light up torches swiftly and to fend off some monsters that had gotten too close. But the lack of control made it worthless for other uses not to mention the danger it brought to allies whom might be close by at then.

The wielder of the Master Sword had been practicing with the fire ever since he gained it from one of the Great Fairies during his quest to save Hyrule. He had slowly learned to create a small fireball and keep its shape when throwing it off. After that came the harder part, using only the heat of the element without bringing the flames out in any of way.

Link had learned those but he still felt like his ability wasn't enough. If not all, then at least most of the Hylians were better with the magic and could use it just like that while he needed to actually concentrate and know what he was doing. Not to mention that his younger brother seemed to have all of the magic abilities mastered. Even though his older brother wasn't as good as the Hero himself, he still had one of the elements fully mastered while the golden haired swordsman knew the elements but hadn't mastered any of them. So, yes, he was bit jealous to a lot of people which got him to try and practice even harder.

Link closed his eyes and concentrated into his breathing. He slowly evened it out before stretching. After that he took a deep breath and let it out slowly before opening his eyes while taking fully determined look. He took up his fighting position and stared at the wall opposite of him before starting to concentrate again.

The harder he tried, the faster his breathing became. The Hero felt the heat of the magic he was calling out but he didn't see or feel the flames themselves. He forced himself to slow his breathing close to normal as he closed his eyes again to have better hold of the element. Slowly but surely small flicker of fire came into his hand. Link felt it but he didn't open his eyes in worry of losing his concentration and so having to start all over again.

He turned his concentration into the small flame and started to work feeding it and growing it. Little by little the fire took strength and got hotter the bigger it became. Once strong enough, the Hylian let his hand fall back to his side as the flame stayed in the air by his command. This already had been hard enough but the Hero wasn't willing to leave it there as he already had something in mind.

Keeping his notion and concentration in the flame he had created, the swordsman started to grow it again. This time it gained height and slowly but surely rose above its commander's head while doing a slight curve. As it was stretched upwards, it also went towards the floor until it touched the smooth surface of the area. Once the fiery line was created, Link started to work with another part of his plan.

The very thin column of fire started to spread slowly around Link while rounding him from the Hero's right side. It was for the fact that he could keep on fighting with his left hand while the wall of flames would protect him from his other side. The golden haired male took a moment to gather his thoughts once he was fully surrounded by the wall of fire.

Link knew that if he waited too long, he'd lose his strength and wouldn't be able to continue. He also knew that he was already overdoing things but he refused to stop until he would've done what he had in mind. And so he started the next part of his idea.

Slowly the ball of flame which sharpened in the top all around him, started to swirl. It started from the peak of the creation and continued to the flames that were touching the floor. Once the circling was going all around the Hero, he started to move the wall of fire away from him while still keeping the formation intact. The further the flame tornado went from him, the sharper the top became and the movement fastened.

Link felt the hot wind that his creation was doing into inside the formation as well as into outside of it. It was hard to breathe in there but he kept on quickening the pace as well as widening the area where he was standing in. He was desperately trying to get his flame tornado to reach the walls before his strength would fully run out.

Yet, the luck wasn't with him as he lost the contact to his element as well as his strength and consciousness. The fire roared and almost blew up while crashing everywhere in the training room. Link fell into the floor and he never saw the door to the room being opened and giving his creation a way out.
