"You must let go of your fear, Alannah. You will never be able to command mastery of water spells if you cannot clear your mind."
The hyur struggles to breathe, throat tight with anxiety.
"E-Sumi-Yan, I can't—"
"You can and you will, train your mind and disperse your thoughts," the padjal says firmly.
Alannah does not find this particularly reassuring. "When I was ten my brother threw me in the Yugr'am River. The current was so strong I would have drowned—"
The words rush out of her in a torrent, the pitch of her voice climbing as her mental hold on the magic keeping her poised atop the water's surface weakens. The older boy grips her by the bicep, holding her steady.
"All the more reason to practice, a conjurer cannot be at odds with the natural forces around them. Is it still your wish to study conjury?"
"...yes."
"Good. Then once more let us clear our minds."
She groans.

like i implied in the tags and also said in another post. im over fascist forgiveness plot lines. idc how sorry you are atp i feel like when writers go down the "this violent white man participated in, supported, or otherwise justified genocide and destruction but he feels bad now" that's just white writers not actually understanding the level of depravity needed to support that ideology. the level of dehumanization. oh, he feels bad? he regrets his decision? and every single person around him is more than glad to bring him back and wrap their arms around him and pet his head and put his "terrible mistake" behind him? how many of his victims did you name, if any at all?

how people like colleen ballinger made a career out of grooming and pedophilic behavior for all these years without being called out on a major scale is beyond me but the fact that she’s not currently being jailed for it considering the stacked evidence against her?? truly unfathomable. BRING BACK THE GUILLOTINE

Also, as to respect how "democratic" assassinations worked in the Roman Republic, all their stuffs would go to us.
