Dragon's Heart (Part 2)

"But Aran Awakened and I didn't." Leria felt stupid saying that but she was not ready to back down.

"And Onyx Awakened before me. Do you think less of me for it?" He asked.

"No! You are great and your powers are much cooler." She replied. "They were worth the wait."

"My point exactly." He nodded. "Leria, you can't compare yourself with others or you will always be miserable, even if you become a Magus."

"That's not true." She shook her head. "If I were a Magus, I'd be on top of Mogar!"

"Really? Wouldn't you wonder if you are as influential as Lith or if your contribution to the magical arts is as important as Silverwing's? How would you react if people ranked you low among the Magi?"

At those words, becoming a Magus sounded more like a curse than a blessing to Leria, silencing her.
