.Dragon's Legacy.

"What is this?" I sat in a small room with a table and two chairs of which one I occupied, arms crossed and looking down at the table with a glare. "Lin, what is this?"

"A fucking chunk of wood, are you blind?!"

"Language." Mystery said coldly but with a disappointed look as she let it fall over on its side on the table and stepping out from behind me. "A chunk of wood from the bar top you smashed up."

"But that man, Varick, you were all looking for him and he was looking for trou--" "Can it." I shut up as she crossed her arm and brought a hand up to rub the crease between her brows with a sigh. "It is not your job to enforce the law, haven't I said that several time?"

"Well no one was going to do anything and your guards suck, none know magic and he'd have gotten away."

"That's not important! You realize how many civilians you could have injured and the damages you caused? You need to learn restraint while using magic, how is that hard to understand, have you never seen any of us qualified for this fight? There is no collateral damages we can?t easily fix and the one time you go playing vigilantes we have a whole bar to fix up."

"Then do a better job at teaching me." I stood up, hands flat against the table as I leaned forwards. "If you want me to be good sooooo badly then actually teach me shit instead of walking out when things get a bit spicy."

"I teach you want I deem to be on your level."

"You teach me nothing, you spend days meditating over shit."

"Language! And that's important, a head mage isn't only brawl but also a spiritual person, you think I took over just for my strength? Sorely mistaking, I am indeed strong but if my mindset had been different not a chance would I have been taught."

"What are you saying? I am not good enough for your teaching?"

"I am not saying that."

"But you are implying it."

"You are too impulsive, don't care for your surrounding, don't care for the consequences, always complain about the lack of training when you could study books, I didn't learn all from a teacher, you lack a level head Lin.... You need to get a grip on your emotions... And channel them, you can't go head first into fights, it will kill you young."

"So I am not fit for head mage?"

"No, currently I would never even think about teaching you anything you teach a head mage."

I glared at the table before vaulting my feet through the arch my arms and torso made, heels right into Mystery's chest making her impact with the wall as I landed on my feet.

I threw my open hand out against her chest, a blast of air blowing out the wall and her with it.

"This is what I was talking about! Brash, emotion controlled, decisions!" She said, standing.

"Shut up!" Light sparked in my hands but I snuffed it out by closing my fists, smoke rising from them before I threw out a left hook and a whip of water lashed out diagonally.

The brush of her hand in the way the 'wave' was going easily let her redirect it to splash harmlessly on the ground.

I kicked the group and used my other leg the kick the chucks of rock that floated up, at her, she struck them with the side of her fist, crumbling them into dust the moment they touched her.

I just glared with tears in my eyes, from hurt or anger I didn't know anymore, she wouldn't even give me the satisfaction of fighting back, rubbing it in she was so much better, why can't you like me? Why am I only interesting when I get in trouble or angry?!

I spun on my heels and dragged my feet on the ground, kicking up dist and creating a dust cloud where I was as I bolted away, trying to dry my face as I ran.

------------------------------------------------

Why is it only me? Why is she like this to only me? Why does no one react when she is like this? Why is this normal?!

I stormed to my room and slammed the door with my back, sliding down until I was sitting on my behind, knees bent up against my chest and arms around it, sobbing my heart out.

------------------------------------------------

When I stopped it wasn't because I felt better but because I couldn't cry anymore, I don't want to stay around here any longer, I don't want to stay around her any long.

I stood up and grabbed my bag, I wouldn't take Mir-til, my horse, it is too easy to recognize her being all white with black lower legs and black mane, so I packed my bag with what I found important, even shoving the stupid book I got from uncle Em in it.

I swung it over my back and grabbed the hip pouch I had and tied it to the left side of my belt while I tied a hip quiver to the other side and swung my bow over my shoulder, the string passing in front, I tied a small sheath to my left thigh and slotted the two daggers that fit in it in.

I grabbed my cape and swung it over my shoulder before tying it around my neck.

I grabbed the necklace and was about to yank it off when my hand stalled in hesitation and let it fall back against my chest, it was once hers.... But it is also the only token of appreciation I ever got from her....

I blasted myself out the window and kept on doing that, blasting the ground with air to send me up each time I came close to touching it, her being able to see through wild magic is why I force myself to do this, that's why she has no footwear, she can easily sense through the magic in the ground and what it touching it so this will keep her from realizing I am gone for longer.

I didn't glance back as I left the castle grounds, feeling the need to leave for a while now matter who would want to stop me, just a bit of time away from being the whole family's disappointment.
