"Darra! Darra!"
"Eillei, Eillei Warder, what can I do for you today?"
Has she just come to gossip again?
"Oh, Darra, you must be so proud."
"Proud? There have been several recent successes in our family, my dear, which one are you referring to?"
"Well, I'm not really sure if it's the same chandler but after this letter… , well, Keth is quite sure it's right and I see no reason to disbelieve him, though I rushed right over here to confirm it."
"confirm what?"
"Well, you know my nephew was struck by lightning and went to Tharios to heal, right?
"Yes…" and Darra did know. Eillei had spent the better part of three hours telling her so.
"Well, he met this mage, who told him that he had magic. Magic, Darra, can you believe it? Before the accident he had only a seed of magic but now his teacher says that he's very powerful."
"…"
"So, this teacher of his is one of those child-mages."
"Child-mages?"
"Yes, Darra, you know the four child-mages from Winding Circle in Summersea, Emelan? The ones who already have their mastery although they're fourteen at the most? The ones, who stopped the earthquake, destroyed the pirates, halted a forest fire and worked in the Blue Pox epidemic?"
"Oh."
"Yes, apparently, Keth got discovered by one of them, the lightning girl, she's the youngest lightning mage ever and she's his teacher because he also has lightning magic now. And she's the only ambient lightning mage in Tharios. For that matter, she's the only ambient lightning mage this side of the Pebbled Sea."
"…"
"she's really powerful, Niko Goldeye, the Niklaren Goldeye is her teacher and he says that she's a great mage in her own right. Can you imagine? Our Kethlun being taught by a great mage. The whole family's so very proud of him."
I no longer have a mage to be proud of.
"Darra, do you know what her name is?"
"Chandler, you said that already, but it's unlikely to be one of us."
"Do you recognize the name?"
"What name, Eillei?"
"Tris. Trisana Chandler."
"TRISANA?!?''
"Yes, Trisana, Darra, what's wrong?"
"Tris was possessed. She didn't have any magic. We gave her away."
"Gave her away?!? She's a great mage now, why did you give her away?"
why?
Why did we?
Why did we give her away?
Why…
Half a continent away, a copper-haired girl cried as she asked her self the exact same question.
this didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to…
i can't believe they deleted this.
R&R pls. or, barring that leave a smily face instead of a review. For those who can't think of anything meaning ful to write, I'm starting a trend for you.
