I've been sick
#43
Cain watched as Cruz tried and failed to weave a ball of light as Nox demonstrated. He wanted to make his own, and shove it in the guy's face. Cruz seemed like the kind of kid to whom everything had come easily. Cain never did that great in school (although he did graduate with A-levels, which was an awful lot more than most kids in his village), and loads of posh knobheads like Cruz took that to mean that they were smarter and better than him. The redhead would love to show off how much better he was than rich boy over there.

(Cain ignored the fact that he'd been using magic on some level for months to conjure fire before he'd attempted any more complicated spells.)

Unfortunately he needed a good scare to grab hold of his magic. Sometimes he could fool himself, like when he'd been practicing in the tunnels. He didn't need an active threat, but just by being in the dark, Cain'd been able to convince himself that there was danger nearby and that bit of thrill had been enough. He might be able to replicate the feat here, but the process of it might be somewhat awkward. And besides he was kind of irritated at Nox for giving away his weakness so easily.

Cain sighed. He didn't want to cut off his nose to spite his face. Nox would never go on to teach Cruz more advanced tricks if he didn't get hang of the basics. And Cain himself would much rather learn things he hadn't seen yet.

"The light is two aspects: Fire and Air. It's hard to get a hang of holding on to both of them at once. Maybe you should start him off on just one. Fire's a lot easier for me personally."
