My story had been pretty depressing up until he decided he didn't like the way it ended, so it was a surprising, yet refreshing change of genre.
But that's just me... and I can't say other factors didn't also play a part in it. To be honest, I remained skeptical through and through. Couldn't afford to have any hope, even with his persistence.
You have to be a little crazy to be a sorcerer, to detach yourself from your own humanity to a certain extent. But it isn't even a rewarding profession. Sorcerers face the most grotesque monsters and situations ona daily basis, constantly risking their lives for a bunch of idiots who can't even see they are in danger in the first place.
It's like running an endless marathon where the finish line is just a pile of your comrades' corpses.
...Hah. We witches don't face the same kinds of dangers or disappointments, but... well. In a world where magic "doesn't exist", the only reason anyone turns to magic is because they've got nothing else.

To a certain extent yeah.

You know, it sounds pretty similar to being a sorcerer in my world.

Saying "I'm sorry" feels somewhat trite, so I won't. But... mm, if the situation is like that, I'm glad magic is there for witches, regardless.

Re: day 5 after finchmunk meeting
I won't forget that.

...Well, that's about all there was to talk about, isn't it? Unless you wanted to ask something more?
