Wendy stared at Sting for a few moments as she tried to gather the courage she needed to speak to the older dragon-slayer. Straightening herself up, she marched over him, determined to say what she had to say.

"Um, Sting?" she started hesitantly. Where was her bravery from a second ago?

The light dragon-slayer looked up at her with a bright smile. "Yeah, Wendy? What is it?"

The young girl began to fidget where she stood. "I was just…wondering if I could…um…"

"Wondering if you could?"

Wendy took a deep breath. "CAN I TEACH YOU SKY DRAGON-SLAYER MAGIC?!" As soon as the words left her mouth, she clamped her hands over it. She hadn't meant to be so loud, but she was so nervous.

Sting blinked a few times before responding. "Uh, what?"

"C-Can I teach you sky dragon-slayer magic?" she repeated, this time much more softly.

The light dragon-slayer chuckled. "Why do you want to teach me your magic? I mean, it's sweet of you to offer, but why?"

Wendy stared at the ground, gently toeing it wither her right foot. "It fits you," she mumbled.

Had it not been for his dragon-slayer hearing, he wouldn't have heard her words. "I'm not sure I understand what you mean?"

"You used light dragon-slayer magic," Wendy began, "which allows you to produce and control light. Your magic is pure; it's holy. That's why I believe teaching you sky dragon-slayer magic fits you. You're the essence of light. The ability to heal others would complement you greatly."

Sting had watched Wendy fumble through her explanation, but he had listened to her carefully. She was a sweet girl, and her heart was in the right place, however…

"I think you've got it wrong," he said.

Wendy's head snapped up. "Huh?"

"You've got it wrong. I shouldn't learn sky dragon-slayer magic." Sting backtracked when he noticed the crestfallen look on the younger dragon-slayer's face. "Wait. That came out wrong. What I mean is that I think I should be teaching you light dragon-slayer magic, if anything. You're the purest and most innocent of all of us. You risk your life to heal others, especially in the face of danger. If anyone is worthy of harnessing the power of light, it's you."

"But…I-I'm not—"

Sting interrupted her by placing his hand on her head, slightly ruffling her hair. "Yes you are. Never think you're not worthy, not even for a second. You're just as powerful as any of us, maybe even more so."

Wendy sighed, her bottom lip jutting out in thought. This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

"Let's make a deal," said Sting, interrupting her thoughts. "How about we both teach each other our magic?"

"You mean I teach you and you teach me?"

"Yeah. Would you like that?"

Wendy thought on it for a minute. It sounded…nice. She nodded eagerly.

Sting laughed. "And won't the others be in for a surprise when they find out. So for now, it'll be our little secret," he said with a huge grin.

Wendy smiled in response. "Okay!"
