Silvia checked the soil; it was warm. Okay, next step, she thought.

3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.

Silvia slipped her glove back on and walked over to the tin. When the short line of students waiting to get their fire seeds in front of her was gone, she carefully reached into the tin. She could feel warmth emanating from the tin, but her glove protected her as she pulled out a fire seed. Careful not to drop it, Silvia made her way back to her pot and gently set the fire seed inside it.
