2 Years Later (972 AO)

“Yegu” “Yeguuuuuu” “YEGU!”

“WHAT DO YOU WANT KAI!”

“I found out how to control my ice magic,” He smirked smugly.

“Only because mom and dad paid for private lessons”

“Have you tried being better at magic instead of being buried in a book?”

At this point we are 11, Kids usually get their magic around 12, but OF COURSE his came in early. He’s been rubbing it in my face for a whole year now, and my parents keep comparing me to my brother like:

“Why do you have to be reading all the time, be more like your brother and learn to use magic”

It’s INFURIATING. Anytime I accomplish something, like being able to do complex math, or speak beast; it gets overshadowed by my brother being able to do simple ice creation at 10 years old. Currently, I’m studying applications of ice creation magic in the medical field. The sun faction has an “unfair advantage” because earth magic is the only element that can use REAL healing magic.

“Hey bookworm, you’ve been quiet for like 30 seconds. You ignoring me or something?”

“No, sorry, just thinking.”

“You better say sorry, Peasant.”

“You are literally my brother, we live in the same house, that would mean you’re a peasant too.”

“SHUT UP!” 

He walked away and slammed the door after that, I don’t think he liked my rebuttal. I continued working on my research after that.

“Huh” I thought. I had found an old report by an older doctor from the City of Ice (That's also where we live). It said he often used ice magic to seal wounds, he would concentrate the ice as much as possible, creating a small stream. Then, held the wound together while using the magic. Apparently it stopped the bleeding and gave comfort to the patient. They made a full recovery, with not so much as a scar left behind. Although it is less effective, and takes longer than REAL healing magic, I wonder what other medical appliances it has. 

“Yeg! Dinner, we have guests!” My mom yelled up the stairs.

She is the only one I let call me “Yeg” Such a stupid nickname.

“Coming!" I yelled back, then I thought "What guests would we have on a tuesday?”

I go downstairs and-

“Hello! You must be Yegu!”

It was the ice queen. I stood there with my mouth hanging open like an idiot, and eventually my mom introduced me… For me. I was excited that the Ice Queen even said my name, until my brother pushed me out of the way and I fumbled down the stairs in front of the second most prominent person in Southern Gard, but that’s besides the point.

“Hello my Queen.” Said my brother

He bowed like he was the most respectful person in the kingdom. I don’t know where he gets it from but it is DEFINITELY not my dad, cuz then my father said this:

“What the hell do you want with us?”

Not only was my jaw on the floor (again) but so was my BROTHERS. 

“What I want is really simple actually.” The Queen smirked. “I want to see what little Kai here can do.”

“I’ll be in my room if you need me.” I rolled my eyes and scoffed, while not being able to help feeling a little disappointed that only my brother got special treatment.

And for the rest of the day, from dawn to dusk I researched potential applications for ice magic and eventually I heard a- “knock knock KNOCK” 

“OHHHH YEGU GUESS WHO GOT THE APPROVAL OF THE ICE QUEEEEN?!”

“Not your dumbass?” “You?” I said, forcing a smile.

“THAT'S RIGHT,” he said with a big grin on his face as he opened my door.

At this point I’ve had enough of his spoiled attitude, and I have had enough of today already. After he barged into my room and kept going on and on about how he can do magic and I can’t. 

“Ok dude calm down…”

“No I'm not gonna “calm down.” Kai,” I said mockingly. “You are the least calm person I've met and then you wanna act all cool nad collected in front of the Queen?! You're fake."

At this point I couldn’t contain my anger, the only thing that I could think of was- “I’M GONNA PUNCH THIS ARROGANT BROTHER OF MINE IN THE TEETH.” And so I did… or at least tried to, because when I got up out of my seat to hit him, I slipped. On what you may ask? My brother’s pee, my yelling scared him so much he peed his pants and all over the floor. He left after that, embarrassed, but angry more than anything. I had to clean my twin brother’s pee off the ground, and went to bed after that. I had to get a good night’s sleep for the day to come, it WAS my… our birthday afterall.
