"Why the hell does shit smell so bad!!!" I screamed, throwing my shovel into the ground. As it narrowly missed the dung, I silently thanked whatever god there was. Meekly picking my shovel up again, I continued my task dutifully.
I'm sorry Master. I thought learning that second spell would be enough. But you're right, I underestimated Vak' and lost solely because of that.
Honestly, I really had just thought I finally had a huge breakthrough. At just 9 years old I had mastered my first illusion spell and was promptly heralded as a prodigy. Even after years of hard work, the promise offered by that praise never came into fruition.
Now, 10 years later I was finally proud again. A few nights ago I had practiced the 2nd spell, one that would cloak just my sword in an illusion. And after the normal 100 failures, I finally had a success!
