章 141: A Gift From Draven

Some of the weaker elves won't even be able to control the magic in their cores, and when they try to use magic for the first time, incidents like yours happen." Leeora tried to comfort her. "Everyone has to go through it including me."

"You too, Elder?" 

"Of course."

"But you are not a weak elf. Since you are a High Elder, aren't you very strong?" Ember asked.
