It is possible to learn magic here, even without a natural ability or capacity. One must practice and train to become proficient, however. For this quest, hand-to-hand combat shall work upon the same principle.
This one cannot make you an instant master. That would not teach you to value the skill itself, besides. Such prowess must be earned. Do you understand?

Share a piece with each person you wish to protect with your own hands. Tell them why they are worth being defended from harm, and why you want to be someone who can keep them safe. Be honest.

Re: Day 142
Date: 2015-05-02 06:40 am (UTC)Is it possible to quest to learn a skill? Like one I don't have? If it's something that's reasonably teachable?
Re: Day 142
Date: 2015-05-02 05:16 pm (UTC)That would depend upon the skill in question.
Re: Day 142
Date: 2015-05-02 09:52 pm (UTC)It's not the same as knowing how to handle myself if someone tried to hit me or someone else? I guess I'd like to not feel as helpless?

Thank you! That's. . . that's really nice. I'd be happy to.
