make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019Ah. I had warned Master Moray... I'm afraid what we might be seeing here stretches rather far back. As far as the root goes. It would seem, at least.
Master Brian had the spotlight and the Magical Crest given to him, due to seniority... and that he- at first- seemed quicker to grasp Magecraft.
They are twins. But- of course- when Master Alex developed his talents... I had warned Master Moray, as did Master Alistair, that to overlook his accomplishments may indeed lead to the Blood Vices' roots taking place. Waiting for a tragedy. Which... given his sheltered life would have been unlikely...
Now that it has occurred... Hm... I must convene with Master Alistair- Alex's Grandfather- for a moment to discuss this. Though of course, given the format- you can hardly tell I'm gone.

So- that's the tragedy resolved...? Hm. Clearly there must be more to do when it comes to Master Alex.
