They remained blank, and unreadable slate covering the truths in her soul. ”Yes, it is particularly hard to figure out where to start when you are Abandoned, when nobody wants you nor hides the pretends of their disgust.” she said gently, almost motherly in her tone.
There was a scratching above them and she glanced up. A couple of Humming Bats were scurrying about under the roofline of the building next to them. Dusk was soon to fall, and they would make their way out into the darkness to hunt their fill of insects. ”Do you see those Humming Bats?” she said, pointing to them. ”We are very much like them you and I. Like bats have the in-born skills that enable them to hunt and kill insects that cause discomfort and disease and crop failure, magic users have the in-born skills to shape the world, to heal, to kill, to create, to destroy…and like bats we are feared.” she said thoughtfully, looking back at the young man.
”It’s a rather depressing reality, don’t you think? One that is undeserved, no less, considering that the reason we are despised is for the faults of another person hundreds of years ago?”
