He nodded equably at her compliment. It would have been nice to hit all three, of course, but Maeve was right that two was no mean feat, given how fast the starbolts had been whizzing by. Perhaps as his strength and power increased he would be able to do more. His mother could change the temperature of water, a skill he would dearly like to learn...
But he had one final test for Maeve's aim, going for quality over quantity this time. Size and speed were no match for her reflexes, however, and the starbolt vaporized the small water pellet on impact. Dama nodded his head, pleased at their prowess. "Enough for one day," he rumbled decisively, feeling the faint burn of magic pushed hard and needing to recover. "How long will you stay here?" In this fascinating jungle that was so different from the ocean they lived in or near.
