"Hold up, sought after?"

"Hold up, hold up, what? Sought after? What do you mean? No one is seeking me out. I'm-I'm a nobody!"

Tanya chuckles. "You may think that, but no, you are definitely not a nobody. That just means Callie's magic is working."

"What do you mean?!"

Tanya turns to look at you. "You really don't know?"

"No! In my mother's eyes I'm a waste of space."

Tanya puffs. "She would never think that of her own son!"

"Well, you obviously haven't met my mother then. Regardless!"

"Damn, you must be one confused cookie, huh?"

"You think!"

Tanya inhales. "Okay then. You're only like the most important person in magic society."

Huh?

"Sorry, come again?" You ask, nonchalantly.

"You, mister white hair, is the most important person in magic society."

You must be hearing incorrectly. "I'm sorry, repeat that, I must have heard you wrongly. Did you say, important?"

Tanya nods, smiling slightly. "You really don't know?"

"Hell no, I-I'm a fuck up! I never finishes anything I start. I drift from job to job, never settling down, I don't have a girlfriend, so no future plans, I have nothing but my shitty apartment. That's it. I'm not important to anyone. Not even my own mother!"

Tanya lift her eyebrows. "Sounds like you got something off your chest there, lad."

You exhale. "I guess I did. I just...All my life I've felt like a freak. And now you tell me I'm important? That's not possible."

"Hah, a freak, huh? Look at us. You're literally talking to a girl with horse legs. I know about being a freak. But the thing about it, it's all comes down to the people around you. In a flock of other centaurs, I'm as right as rain."

"What are you saying?"

"Well, maybe you just haven't found your people yet?"

You breathe a bit lighter. "So, important. Important how? Am I...magic?"

"Well, yes. In a way. But, not like us, I guess. You don't have magic. Or, you don't have magic powers or abilities. You have magic...energy, I guess. You're like a battery for magic powers. But like, a huge one. Like a really, really stupidly huge battery for magic people. Which is why Callie hid your presence. If she hadn't, who knows who might have found you. Dangerous people, who'd want to suck you dry, like this black haired dyke. We have no idea how she found you. She shouldn't have been able to."

Tanya looks angrily at the body of Siji on her back, behind you.

"We're afraid she might have disrupted the spell that kept you invisible. Others may be able to find you now too.
