"At Least They Had Polara"

July 2022

"Igne are the lowest on the scale because anyone can make fire with sparks and matches. Even my own grandmother—who was one of the most powerful Igne—was all but shunned most of her life."

"That don't sound fair," Hudson frowned. "So, you took after your grandma?"

"Much to my parents dismay," she shot him a sarcastic scowl. "Every so often power skips a generation. They were really hoping it wouldn't. But at least they had Polara."

"Who's Polara?"

She shrunk back when she heard him repeat her sister's name, realizing she had gone further than she had intended. "...I'm not sure why I'm spouting off all this," she mumbled.

I was sketching Gem's sister Polara and their parents the other day, and it ended up turning into this whole little scene. I sure wish I had enough spare time to do the entire story like this!
