It had taken a few hours for Ezra to prepare for her ceremony. She was prepped and prodded by the maids who were helping her get ready. After a long bath and scrubbing her body she sat in her robe as the maids did her hair and makeup.

Since she would be in the presence of the entire Pyrokinesis nation she needed to follow certain protocols. For one she had to wear her hair up so that if something were to go wrong she wouldn't accidentally set her hair on fire. Her father had prepared a special dress for her to wear for her ceremony.

The nations colors were red orange and black. But her father had chosen an all red dress with a sweetheart neckline. The dress shimmered as it flowed put beautifully. It brought out her pale skin and dark hair.

Putting on some red heels she was ready to go. Her maids held her dress as she made her way downstairs. Her feet were already starting to hurt as she concentrated on not falling. At the end of stairs her whole family were waiting.

"You look gorgeous" her complimented with a kiss on her cheek. She felt terrified but nonetheless excited. The carriage was brought to the front of the mansion. They huddled in and soon were off to the town's stadium. The Pyrokinesis nation were known for their extravagant and lavish ceremonies.

Once you turned 16 that was when your true power would come in. It was said that the power came to you after years of being dormant. Ezra had been waiting for moment since she was a young girl.

She had dreamt of this day so many times. It still didn't feel real to her as she gazing out the window. She was a very timid girl and sometimes people misunderstood her. Or at least that was what she believed. Her father had been training her for this very moment and the last thing she wanted was to let him down.

Once she turned twenty she was expected to take over the nation. She was prepared and ready to take on whatever would be thrown her way. Even if she didn't appear as confident on the outside, on the inside she felt ready for anything.

The carriage finally came to a halt. They stepped out into the large stadium where people were already there waiting. This was a huge event and thousands of people had come to see the next Pyrokinesis leader.

As they made there way inside the stadium they were greeted by many people. Once the greetings had been made they went to take there seats. Ezra rubbed her sweaty hands against her dress. Her heart was beating so fast she felt that at any moment she wouldn't be able to breathe.

Her mother who sat beside her grabbed her hand giving it a gentle squeeze. She returned the gesture by giving her gentle smile. She needed all the support she could possibly get in this moment.

More and more people were arriving and the stadium soon became packed with people. Cameras were everywhere ready to document her ceremonial. Ezra took deep breaths  closing her eyes to try and catch her breath.

Suddenly the horns could be heard throughout the stadium. It was completely packed to the point that they had stopped letting people in.

"WELCOME ALL MY FELLOW PYROKINESIS NATION. WE ARE ALL GATHERED HERE TODAY TO CELEBRATE A NEW ERA. A NEW LEADER WILL BE APPOINTED TO RULE OVER OUR LANDS. BUT TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE BECOMING OF ONE'S TRUE POWER. LET US WELCOME OUR FUTURE LEADER OF THIS NATION...

EZRA MAE GRINVERDALE".

The crowd went wild as she made her way to the front of the stadium. She stood confidently next to the prime minister of the nation. He was going to be the one conducting her ceremony.

He directed towards a gold ceramic bowl. Fire emitted from it and she could feel the intense heat on her skin. The prime minister took one of her hands in his giving her a serious look.

"Repeat after me. I promise to keep my nations interest at heart. I promise to abide by all nations law. I will never steal from my people no matter the situation. I promise to always fulfill the wishes of my people".

Ezra repeated the words boldly. Her hand started to feel numb and she held it over the bowl. When the speech was finished the prime minister sliced her hand. She watched as her blood dripped into the bowl.

Everyone was mesmerized as it was deadly quiet. The fire continued to stay lit as people waited. When the fire had finally went out  the prime minister chanted a spell. A giant ball of fire appeared in his hands. 

"Hold out your hand child". She did as he said holding her hand out. He guided the ball of fire to her awaiting hand but when it touched her palm she had immediately screamed in pain.

Loud gasps could be heard throughout the stadium. The prime minister looked confused himself. Ezra held her burnt hand tightly as she squeezed her eyes shut. "Do it again... we prepared for this"! Her father's loud voice boomed with rage.

Following his orders the prime minister conjured up another ball of fire. "Papa... I can't... my han-"

"You will do it again"! He interrupted her. Tears started spill down her cheeks. Her hand was in excruciating pain and she didn't think she could handle anymore pain. She held out her injured hand, blisters were starting to form and it was starting to swell up.

When the prime minister again tried to hand her the fireball she immediately retracted her hand. The pain became too much and people began to murmur amongst themselves. Never in a million years had something like this occurred. It was especially shocking that there future leader did not posses the power of a Pyrokinesis.

Ezra watched as her father stormed towards her. Roughly grabbing her arm he made a beeline out of the stadium.His wife and youngest daughter following behind them. Ezra sobbed the whole way as she clutched her wounded hand.

The whole nation had been watching. And now everyone knew she did not posses the power of a true Pyrokinesis. Her father looked at her with pure disappointment.

The whole ride back to the mansion.
