Everest
Failure is something that everyone has to deal with at some point in their lives. No matter their expertise, no matter their strength or cunning, everyone inevitably fails. Some failures hit harder than others, though. Failure to win at a hot dog eating contest might not keep you up at night at all, even if you came in last place. So it is for Everest Hart. Failure to win at sports, for instance, is never something that has bothered him terribly much. A little of course, given his personality, but not much.
Failure when it comes to academics?
When it comes to test-taking?
Sitting on one of the large boulders that ring the edges of the Skyport to act as both a barrier and a seating area, sits Ever. Head bowed, ankles crossed, and eyes staring intently at a piece of paper held in his hands. He is dressed perfectly appropriately for the weather with his grey sun-shirt, modest khaki pants, and boat shoes. There's a bottle of water and some granola bars in a bag by his side, and yet for the picture of preparedness that he seems to be, nothing could have prepared him for this.
Everest Hart had failed his skyship exam.

I wish that I could find the words,
to tell you how much that it hurts
That I'm not who you wanted me to be
to tell you how much that it hurts
That I'm not who you wanted me to be
