A young boy named Gabriel played by himself with the bugs, while his sister, Rose, was talking to Valerian in the distance.

"So where should we meet for the Harvest Moon?" Before Valerian could speak a word, Gabriel came running up to the girls. "Look what i can do, guys!" He shouted happily. Rose smiled, then folded her arms as she looked down at her little brother.

"I got a power! I can do magic, I swear to you!" His smile grew wider with every word. Rose looked at Valerian and chuckled. Valerian smiled and rolled her eyes. "Okay, Gabe, what is it this time?"

The boy began his performance, more excited than ever.

That boy had always wanted to do magic ever since he figured out that him and his sister came from a long bloodline of witches. Both Rose and Valerian planned a celebratory circle for him to discover his inner calling. It's a tradition for new witches to discover what their magic in the craft was. Though Gabriel had no patience to wait two more days for the event to happen. He would try his hardest to bend new magic. He said he wanted to be the greatest sorcerer.

Gabriel finally said what he thought his new ability was. "I --- can freeze time! Watch this!" He picked up the stick bug that was crawling around his boot and perched it on his arm as if it was a hawk.

Gabriel looked down at the bug, fully concentrated. For a second, the bug stopped, then it kept moving. He sighed disappointedly, then looked up at the girls. "He did it for me earlier..."

Rose giggled as she bent a little bit to get down to his level and put a hand on his shoulder. "You'll know once you get in the circle, we'll even invite all your friends to support you. You only got two more days left, uh, right Valerian?" Rose looked up at her friend and Valerian nodded.

Gabriel folded his arms and looked away from his sister. "You don't understand, I DID it, I have an ability!" He said stubbornly. "I just.....need more practice. That's all!"

Rose sighed defeatedly, then looked back at her brother and said, "Go practice then." When she winked, his confidence came back almost instantly, and he raced into the woods.

"Don't go too far!" She hollered.

But Gabriel was too far away to listen. He ran as far as he could. Maybe that's what it was, he just needed more privacy. He ran on through the woods, searching the ground for bugs.
