  As Setsuna slowly ambled along with the other students, he was lost in thought. The boy had been up all night long, having kept watch, but it seemed uneventful and thus had not done anything. After a fine breakfast, it was time for his Daily Spellcrafting Training, which he was eager to do after showing off his ability to speak to the water mikokami just hours before.
  
  Unfortunately that meant he would not be able to summon them because he'd used his water spell slot, so that would have to wait another day. His voice was quiet but clear, almost melodius as he began to recite the prayers that the mikokami liked the best. If they liked him before, surely they would love him after this. Before long, it was time to put the knowledge to the test. The silvery haired teen landed into a neat plop on the grassy ground, meditating, seeking answers from within as to what would be best. The mikokami of the air seemed to dance around his hair for a moment, though more likely it was just a breeze, and those incarnadine red eyes sprang open. He knew what had to be done, and they would help him accomplish his task.
  
  Fire.
  
  A clap as his hands pressed together in front of him, and then he withdrew the spell scroll he would need. The spirits had guided him, and he would obey. After last night's performance he would have attempted water, but he didn't have the spell slots for it anyways. This was a much better plan. As he read from the scroll and added in his newly found knowledge from the lesson, a spark went off in his mind and he swiveled, looking across the parade grounds. A lantern. A hop up to his feet, and the teen quickly abandoned the rest of the group to approach it. It was mounted up higher on the wall, so he hopped up and latched onto the stone, climbing a few steps up and then he was level with it. A peek inside it's paper walls, and he could see just the faintest hint of an orange glow among the ashes, the mikokami not long for this world.
  
  "It will be okay; you are a good wick," he whispered quietly to the spirit, delicately balancing the whole like, three feet up on the wall, to not lose sight of it for a second. The sense scroll had been put away, and it was a simple matter to use one hand to whip out the second scroll, to commune with it. Once more he began to quietly incant to the mikokami; what did it need? It needed fuel, sustenance, or it could not go on much longer. It had faithfully watched over the dojo for many months, but was neglected and soon would sputter out. Setsuna was determined to not let that happen. The scroll returned to it's home, and he pulled out a small bit of paper that he had drawn upon, nothing serious, just a sketch of a fox, smaller than his hand. It was gently placed atop the ashes, but he could still see the orange. Too weak to even eat, he knew what to do next.
  
  Still hanging on, pale hand going even paler, the last scroll was withdrawn. Quiet and clear as ever, he began to call out to the mikokami within the lantern, saying the words it needed to hear. Each sentence he could see it glow, just a little brighter, stronger. It touched the paper, and when he finished, the paper instantly caught ablaze. The fire was summoned, now at proper strength (a bit stronger than the lantern needed, admittedly) and crackled loudly as it feasted. The boy would hop down, and alert a nearby guard that the lantern would need more fuel soon, but was otherwise very satisfied in how the day's lesson had turned out.
