"So," she heard someone say, "You're a Pyrokinetic."

Daphne mentally cringed, "So? I'd probably go to Exile for even being alive. People, HERE," she gestured to base, "don't care what ability you manifest. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"Yeah, suppose if I DID have one talent. Then what? It would be the same. It would be just as bad. Look, elves aren't perfect. Sure, the Neverseen has... brutal ways to overthrow the Council but without that... what do you think their cause would be."

"I-" Sophie was shocked. She didn't know how to respond to that. She had never heard it put that way before... & somehow, Sophie had an answer for her, "They would want the same thing as the Black Swan."
