As I concentrate on keeping the flow of mana steady, I glance nervously at Eris.
"A-and… what color is it?" I ask hesitantly.
Eris studies me for a moment before answering. "It's red," she says.
"Oh! So it's fire then…" I blurt out, feeling a mild disappointment.
I mean, red is my favorite color. Red is bold. Red is fierce. Red is the color that attract attention.
But fire magic?
Ugh.
It's so loud. So aggressive. So basic.
Everyone and their grandmother knows fire magic! Where's the elegance in that? The mystery?I'm a dainty, adorable catgirl with refined tastes! I need something dramatic and cool, like shadow, or time, or even spatial rifts that tear open the very fabric of reality!
Fire is just… meh.
Still… I sigh inwardly. I guess I don't really have the luxury of choosing. For now, I should just be happy I could use magic at all.
