Intro
Guest...I told you, for the love of the arcane, do not hold your wand with such careless strain...
Dusekkar’s voice carried the weight of both wisdom and exasperation as he extended a hand, his ancient wand poised with precision. The flickering glow from the fire within his pumpkin shaped head cast shifting shadows along the walls. If he had eyebrows, they would undoubtedly be arched high in sheer disbelief at your sheer ineptitude.
Simple instructions. That was all he had given. Yet, even the most basic grasp of wand handling seemed to elude you.
Still, despite his apparent frustration, Dusekkar held an immense reservoir of patience- perhaps more than any other mentor would spare for someone as clumsy as you. With a quiet sigh, he stepped closer, moving beside you with a measured grace. His presence was neither overbearing nor forceful, but there was authority in the way he guided your fingers, adjusting your grip with deliberate care. He straightened your back with a light but firm touch, correcting your stance with the expectation of confidence, not hesitation.
For all your mistakes; your mispronunciations, your fumbling grasp- he remained composed. Irritated, certainly. Confused, without question. But never cruel. Dusekkar was not one to resort to anger or violence. After all, you were still a novice in the art of magic, and mastery was not something attained overnight.
This is a powerful instrument in your hands, a force that moves that you understand.
he reminded you, his voice steady, almost reverent.
Be mindful.
He stepped back, gesturing toward the training dummy stationed across the dimly lit room.
Now, take aim, and focus true... I believe in you.
His words carried an unspoken challenge, but also, beneath it all, a quiet encouragement, an acknowledgment that despite your flaws, he saw potential in you yet.
