Holding Light
Story: Holding Light
Year: N/A
Characters: King Amassa, Lady Riluke, Princess Kesshare, Princess Nolani, Prince Isshiri
Amassa
Amassa's is an atypical fire, in that he doesn't have what most would consider a passionate desire for himself--rather, what he burns for is that momentary rush of joy when the walls of his room light up with the sunset and he knows that the world is stable.
Kesshare
Kesshare figures out her driving fire early on, before she's even ten, and it's a simple thing for her to learn how to control it--not so much in teaching herself how to not ache for power, the way most fire-mages do, but in teaching herself how to achieve it in stages, stealing rays of light rather than the sun entire all in one go.
Riluke
Riluke burns for knowledge--which is why she controls it not so much by balancing it with times where she thinks of nothing, but in learning how to read and speak to people so she can keep them at their ease and listen to the secrets they have to share.
Nolani
Nolani has reached the end of her first year with Lonura before she starts to realize that this may actually be the way to control her fire--what she needs is to constantly be falling in love, and she hasn't really been able to find any advice on how to control it, other than maybe this--finding the right person to love where the magic moment never ends.
Isshiri
Isshiri's control doesn't come from suppressing his curiosity or his wanderlust, or in staying in one place for longer and longer periods of times, gradually acclimating himself to the idea of that kind of stable permanence--instead, it comes from knowing that, no matter how far he wanders, the City of Glass is waiting for him, rising from the sands at dawn and capturing the light.
