Lighting the Final Candle

A tall man sat upon a smooth stone within a cave. The light emanating from the flames flickered warmly on his face. The flames themselves were roasting two skewers of meat the man had collected earlier. His pale brown eyes scanned the large room dug out of the cave. There were many paths branching off of it leading to many places within the area around Takigaukre. Though the cave system was so well hidden it was rarely found. A small yawn escaped his partially stitched mouth as his eyes continued to scan the room. Besides the many paths the only other real "decoration" was a river running through the room. It was the same river that he had used to demonstrate water release to his student months ago. His head swiveled to the side as he sensed a presence within the cave, his student. The man smiled as he looked down the cave path to see him rapidly approaching, stopping at the entrance to the large room to give a small bow. "Good to see you again Kenta." The man spoke.
