Lumeria: The Waking World (Short Story Collection)
Jeromy for Liorenth
Magical Guilds in this world are run by Dragons. Dragons can imbue people with the magic they feel said person is most suited for. Liorenth is considered the most level headed - and most conversations involving him are either wisdom, or him complaining about the recklessness of the other dragons.
(Wise) "Trust me, if I could, I would imbue you with what you want - but not only would it result in you feeling worse - you wouldn't be able to handle it."
(Wise) "Listen, it's not about magic power - It's about much more than that. Another dragon would walk into the guild hall and claim to be more powerful - but that wouldn't mean he is the perfect one to take over for me."
(Yes, Wise) "Yes, they're are two other Elemental Knights. But they'll soon come to realize they were given the power too early. You'll be glad I'm making you wait"
