Upon a wall, Kilsalt stood with two henchmen behind him. His feet were spread apart, and in the the stiff position used to meditate for firebending techniques. He rested there, breathing in, and slowly breathing out, taking his time as he focused his inner rage against the world.
The skies above him were black before his guards took their leave. Each star above the red city shone like nothing before, gleaming with their magical brilliance.

Kilsalt stood there, with his bent knees, focusing on his breathing. However, a smallish tod came over to him, and asked to learn. He grunted, then spoke to Kai," Imitate my stance. Then follow my breathing. Control your breathing." He brought his hands together, with a fist going into a flat palm, just infront of his red fire nation plate.
His feet were shoulder width apart. Kilsalt's back was straight, and his knees were evenly bent. If Kai listened with all of his focus, the starting bender would hear the man's small petite breaths. " My name is Kilsalt," He said, as a nice wind came over the southern wall of Shizu'Agara.

"Firebending is breathing. Have you learned breathing before this, nameless tod'?" His legs bent, and his nostrils flared, as his red eyes darted to the horizon. It turned peach and red from the setting sun, marking the city with a blaze of orange. His bald head shone with the fading sunlight, but took upon the colour of darkened brown.
"Looks like a lower ranking officer taught you, or one of the teachers in the market place."

Kai broke his consentration and looked down to the ground with a sad face, "it was my grandfather.....he taught me what i know." his emotions changed - He grunted and said "One day, ill become a powerful fire bender and ill avenge his death." he looked at Kilsalt and repeated the stance- controling his breathing.

"Emotion is a burning flame that rarely leaves people unmarked." He kept his position, holding his right fist in his left palm. Kilsat's breathing continued to flow in and out, without a single bit of concentration. His body kept loose, yet rigid, at the same time, as his back stretched itself.
"Do you know anyone your age?" Kilsalt asked, frankly speak to his apprentice of sorts.

"What did your grandfather teach you?" he asked blandly. Kilsalt ignored the young bender's vigor to learn. He held firm, slowly breathing in, and slowly breath out. If one took a stop watch to his breathing, they'd find that the man took in a breath every third second, and released that breath three seconds after.
His posture was fixated on the spot. After hearing Kai's response, he answered the question," We start to learn bending when I know you won't burn down this town by mistake."

Kai saw how serious Kilsalt was " my appologize master, my grandfather taught me the basics of firebending: focusing and breathing, but mostly he taught me hand to hand combat."

"Then you should be-" He turned, rushed forward, and bent back onto his right foot. The man shifted his weight onto the foot, turned his left hip to the right and did a high kick at the short teenager's exposed neck. His leg extended, coming to its full extended length. Each one of his movements were slightly blurry-they were also extremely fluid in their odd speedy jerky-ness. "-ready for this."

Kilsalt held his kick in the air, holding it up. His back was in good posture and he remained firm in his one foot standing position. His left toe pointed to the horizon- the direction where he currently stared at in an odd daze.
"Seems like your grandfather taught you how to fall. Come at me, apprentice."
