It took Turnrin a moment to figure out what the girl meant. His brow furrowed as he tried to think of a proper response to her question. How best to explain magic to this girl, who only saw it as a curse?
Slowly, picking his words very carefully, the monk began to speak. "What you and I both share Huntress, is nothing to be ashamed of. I know in Connlaoth it is considered a sin and a curse, but there are other parts of the world where it is not seen as such. Take for example Serendipity, the country that your mother," he paused for a moment, and then said with emphasis, "and I hale from."
He let that sink in for a moment before he continued. "Many in Serendipity are what Connlaothians consider tainted, and our society functions just fine. We don't see this trait as a curse, rather it is a gift passed down from our Fae ancestors. I'm not saying that the Connlaothian belief system is wrong, but I do believe that for a child of Serendipity, like yourself, Connlaothian values simply do not work."
