"There are hundreds of different types of magic users." I said, sitting in the pavilion with the princess.
She sat across from me, quill in hand.
I shook my head. "No, Anna, put the quill down. We won't be going over every single one. Just the major ones."
She put the quill down, closed her book and grinned.
"Each kind of magic user is named after the way they interact with spirits. We are spiritspeakers, the most common kind. Most mages are spiritspeakers."
Her face fell. "We're common?"
I laughed. "Afraid so, princess. About one in four mages are spiritspeakers. But, considering the fact that only about ten percent of the global population has the potential for magic, we're still exceptionally rare."
"How did you know I was one of them?"
Quite by accident last time.
In my previous life, the princess was always restless, constantly moving, constantly shifting. She couldn't sit still, no matter how hard she tried.
