The dark clouds above the city threatened to rain. Therissa's mouth fell open slightly.
"You want me to teach you magic?"
In response, I created a small flame on the palm of my hand.
"For now, this is all I'm currently capable of doing," I said.
She looked down at the flame I produced before reaching out and touching it.
HISS!
With just a single touch, the flames on my hand froze.
"I would like to teach you, but I don't think the military will allow us," she responded before bowing her head. "I'm sorry."
I slowly reached out and raised her head by her chin.
"If that's the case, then we'll just have to leave the military."
Her eyes widened in surprise. It was as if she had never even thought of that solution.
"But the military, they'll hunt us down. And they'll kill us if they find us."
"Between the two of us, I'm sure we'll be fine," I said. "The only issue is that we'll need to find somewhere to go."
