~Lisa's POV
I stared at the flames dancing around the forest, my heart racing with excitement. Fire leaped from my fingertips, curling and twisting as I made it burn hotter, faster. Trees caught in the blaze, and smoke curled into the sky. The heat warmed my face, but my body felt alive, pulsing with raw energy.
"Lisa! Stop!" Lira's voice cut through the roar of the fire. She ran toward me, eyes wide, a mixture of amusement and worry.
I laughed, waving my hand and making a smaller flame flicker above my palm. "I know, I know… conserve my energy, right? But it's so much fun!"
Lira grabbed my shoulder, steadying me. "Fun? Lisa, you're going to burn the hut! And yourself too, if you don't calm down!"
I smiled, almost teasingly. "I'll put my mind to it… But just a little longer. I want to see how far I can push it!"
Her eyes narrowed, clearly not trusting me. "Little longer? You've already been at this for hours!"
