Bristlebane considered the question, what was a good enough reason to convince this mysterious wizard. Because i want to probably wasn't good enough, he could lie, but he got the feeling lying to this man was a very bad idea. Come to think of it why did he want to learn magic so bad that he would wander aimlessly in a forest and face a Chimera to do so. Because i already know everything else wasn't a very good answer either. Bristlebane pondered searching himself for the real reason he wanted this, finally somewhat unsure of himself he manged to stammer out, "Because, because I want to have the power to control my own fate, and make a difference."
