Snippet #2642095

During a moment of distraction, Zexen was tackled out of the sparring circle by Dorian. He hit the ground with a loud thud. Angrily he pounded the ground with his fist. He quickly stood up on his feet and whipped the upper half of his body toward Niven. ”How do you expect me to focus on a match when you are badgering me with questions regarding things that DO NOT concern you?!” he yelled angrily at the young Wishing Star faery. He took a few steps toward Niven in an attempt to scold the faery more. Zexen hated losing and not putting his best foot forward while making a first impression. That match did not showcase the best of his ability and he knew it.





Father Superior intercepted Zexen before he could approach Niven. He could understand why Zexen was angry but Niven was not the heart of the issue. Zexen’s phobia was. “Now that is enough. I will not allow you to exact your frustrations on Niven, or on yourself. He simply verbalized something that those of us who are magically inclined most likely felt and or wondered about.”

Zexen, having realized that he was picking fight with Niven who meant no harm, apologized. ”I apologize Niven I have been unfair to you. My magic has always been a touchy subject for me.” Zexen explained. ”Besides, I would have had it under control. I was powering up a sword of magic spell. If only I hadn’t have been distracted, I could have turned the situation around.” Zexen continued.

Father Superior gave a gentle smile before replying, ”Dear child, you are capable of much more. You are by lineage a wishing star faery. Sword of magic spells are merely the tip of the iceberg for you. I’m surprised Valen has not encouraged your studies in star faery magic.”

“My abilities are out of control. Father tried to teach me but faery magic always results in something going out of control when I am the caster. It can’t be helped.” Zexen said. He hung his head in shame of having to admit such a thing.

Blue quickly replied with a nurturing tone, ”well you will not have control over magic of any kind if you don’t believe in yourself as a spell caster. This is especially true for faery magic. Wishing star faery magic is rooted in faery dust. A star faery is required to believe in his or herself in order for their spells to work most effectively. With your current attitude towards your magic, it’s no wonder your spells have been unreliable. If you were to ever come with me to Anansai, I could train you in the use of your power”
