Plot reminder:
Girl: You're a princess. In your kingdom, magic is just barely tolerated and your father is trying to get rid of it. But you yourself possess magical powers. You've been kept away from people your whole life, an embarrassment to your royal family. One night, you run away. You travel a nearly impossible distance, even across an ocean, to find the son of a powerful sorceress who you believe can teach you to control your power. But what if it turns out he doesn't want to?
Guy: Your mother was the most powerful sorceress in the world. A true legend. And because she was the best, she raised you to be even better. No child of hers could be anything less than perfect. She treated you cruelly, punishing you with her magic when you made mistakes or refused to learn. You've come to despise all magic-users and magic itself, causing you to never use your own powers if you can help it. Then, a girl comes to you, desperate for your help. She's so young and naive. She won't survive on her own if someone doesn't teach her how. But how can you teach her to control her powers when you hate yourself for having the same gifts?
