There was one thing he was good at, although he had few opportunities to use it. He hadn’t been properly taught, since he was only two when they fled, but to someone who had never before seen real magic or even considered it possible every little was impressive. It was on the 58th day living together, and yes I have a diary, that he revealed he could do magic. It was nice to have something in common, though our backgrounds were vastly different. Weird how the two immigrant boys “randomly” end up sharing a room. I’ve known Malik since we shared dorm in high school. Similar stories and bonus material on my Patreon.
