Incident #1: How I levelled a temple and discovered my powers

This one’s actually really funny if you think about it. It’s funny because of how bad it is. Like, I thought I’d get flayed for it. I think I did pretty well though; no one died and I actually managed to get out of there mostly unscathed. Okay, maybe I got yelled at repeatedly by at least three or four different people, but that’s nothing new!

See, there was this one guy in my year level, James Marquay, and let me tell you, he was a complete as- can I say that? Am I allowed to say that? No? Whatever. Anyways, this dude was the biggest douche ever. And maybe he’d made a couple of pointed comments about my family and being a freak, and maybe I hadn’t responded so well after he’d started giving my life story out, but that’s another part of the story.

I think it’s pretty crucial to mention that this was the way I even discovered I had magic, at the ripe age of sixteen years old. After James had been a dirtbag, I thought it was weird I felt like I was heating up, literally. So I tried to ignore it, but I was just so angry. I was livid; I would have attacked him then and there, but the fact that I spontaneously combusted kind of threw off that fact.

I accidentally knocked out every kid in my class and flattened the temple. It took me a couple of minutes, but then I ran. I hate to break it to you, but I was in deep trouble. James would have murdered me. The Council Member would have murdered me. My not-dad almost murdered me. But I’m here, alive and well, so I guess it didn’t turn out that badly!
