EMBERS OF REINCARNATION
NENKA FOTIA
Nenka was quite blown away by what Kimitsuki had told them. They didn't just use fire, they quite literally are fire, a physical manifestion of that element. Nenka seemed pretty shocked as he had never encountered a being like that before - a Davana demon. This made them all the more excited to start training with her, he was going to learn from the raw element of fire itself!
He also took note of her first point. He knew that he in order to be a hero, he had to live. This mirrored what he was told by Valentine in the Karakura Forest. If Nenka died, he would not be able to see through his heroic acts anymore. Even though he thought it to be a profound thing to be told, that feeling of guilt dragging him down into the dark depths of idealising dying a martyr would keep haunting them. It wouldn't be so defeated so easily.
Nenka proceeded to follow Kimitsuki to a more open area where he sat next to her and then he was struck with a pretty deep question. What is fire to him? What did he believe it to be? He didn't have an immediate answer. Before that event in the forest, he had no particular interest in fire. He just saw it as an element that some were able to wield for their own purposes. Since he had obtained it though, he found his own meaning. Ambition, passion. The ambition to be a hero and the passion to see it through.
"I'll tell you the truth from the start. Before my powers.. found me. I never thought much of fire. It's just a reaction known as combustion. I know some people used it as their power, but its the same as if someone would use lightning, water, whatever. I never imagined i'd end up using these kinds of powers. But to me, it represents my ambitions to be a hero and passion to never give up, no matter what!"
Nenka was a troubled young adult. There was no denying that. He had to struggle with mental problems that had been brought to the forefront in their first interaction, as well as an urge to become a martyr for his fallen friends. However, beyond all that, lied a powerful ambition. Even if it is not as easy as it sounds, how ever flawed it was. Nenka wanted to be a hero more than anything else. He wanted a world where families and children would never suffer the same fate his friends did, or the upbringing that he himself suffered.
And with that ambition, comes a powerful passion to never back down. Nenka had already been at deaths doorstep in pursuit of this goal and yet it did not affect his morale or ideals in the slightest. Nothing was going to stop him from trying. And that passion, burnt ever so brightly. That is what he felt the element of fire represented within him. He wondered now, what fire incarnate would make of his musings.

The Liberated Flame

This man, indeed, was quite interesting to be around. She still could not place her finger on this sense of familiarity she felt when looking at Nenka. Whatever it was, she simply shrugged it off for now and watched Nenka closely. What she wanted to hear was how he felt about fire; what it did for him. How he felt about it literally just in general. Frankly, she only asked him because that was very important. If he thought it to be a weapon, then Kimitsuki needed to correct that immediately. Because, after all, fire is not a weapon; but nor is it something to be trifled with. Which is why Kimitsuki listened to his explanation of what fire is to him; nodding some and shrugging at Nenka's explanation indeed, fire is technically a combustion. However, what he said was at least better than it was a weapon.
She hummed, crossing her legs as she idly bounced a ball of fire in her hand; never missing a beat as she thought. Fire to her was something more complex. It was life, it was death; it was energy. It also was her; it was everything that made up Kimitsuki. She literally was fire. Which is why with a slow inhale, the area around them burst into flames. Then a slow exhale and it was all extinguished with ease; not a single thing burnt. She looked towards Nenka and grinned; tossing the little ball of fire to him. If he caught it, he would find it was warm; not scorching hot. But, more like the comfort of warm water or a warm bag; but in general it was a comforting heat, not an unpleasant one.
"That's not bad but to me, fire really is more than that; to me at least. It representing your ambition isn't bad, but, if that all fire is to you, then it will never be more than that; it will never be more than a power or an ambition. Being able to control fire means that, in a sense, it is part of you; and you need to know exactly what it means to you."
Kimitsuki hummed as fire danced on her fingertips; and then a dragon that looked to be made of fire appeared and curled around her shoulders and neck loosely. She chuckled, gave the dragon a few pets before she resumed talking.
"To me, fire is more than just a "combustion"; it's life. Of course, it is also death... However, fire is potently capable of destruction; like forest fires. I know that you didn't use to think much of fire, but, start thinking more of it; treat your powers right. Otherwise..."
Kimitsuki let out a tiny exhale, a sharp inhale, and then another exhale; bits of flame escaping from her mouth as the area around them burst into flame. It seemed to threaten to consume everything, but Kimitsuki grinned at him as the fire raged around them.
"Otherwise, you risk losing yourself to it and losing control; you could even hurt someone you care for. Someone you wish to save, even; always remember that fire is not a tool, it is not a weapon. However, it is part of you; and over all, fire is alive in it's own way..."
Kimitsuki hummed softly before the fire around them faded once more; all of it seeming to go right back into Kimitsuki somehow. She blinked a few times before blushing softly as she looked at Nenka.
"I'm sorry, you just remind me of someone I once met; they could control fire as well... An interesting man, really; albeit something tells me he is no longer of this world... Regardless, keep in mind what fire is to you, alright? Think about it."
Kimitsuki gave him a warm smile before standing up from the bench and stretching some; the dragon on her neck and shoulders never leaving his perch. Soon, Kimitsuki extended a hand towards Nenka; for him to take as help off what they sat upon. Afterwards, Kimitsuki walked a bit of a distance away before turning to face the young pyromancer. She smiled at him, the dragon, Kagutsuchi, fixing his eyes on the boy for a brief moment before giving a tooth yawn and resuming, or restarting, a nap.
"So, Nenka, if you wish to be strong, you must live; but you also need to train. So, how about you and I have a bit of a sparring match, hm? And don't hold back, okay? I can take it. And I want to see what you can do."
