CHALLENGE. Steal This Prompt:

The Lie at Dinner
The lie at dinner was told by Aryan, and he said that he can only harness the Powers of the Quill, and cannot use any others, which is a lie. He lied because a Gifted with more than one Power is considered dangerous and is shunned by society, and the last duo-powered Gifted was a dark mage that cursed Jaculus’s family and left Liweng and her little brother orphans.
