Knowledge Is Power
“You know, Shaxx?”
Shaxx looked up from his consoles to see Nessa sitting on the ledge, her feet dangling off into the city, “Know what?”
“...a lot of things, for one. But mainly, did you see Leilani in the Crucible just now?”
“I did. There's potent light in that one.” The warlock had single-handedly carried her entire team to victory, though granted that match had been built of newly registered kinderguardians.
Nessa grinned, “Found a good one, didn't I?”
“For you, yes.”
The hunter swung her legs over so that she was facing Shaxx, her back to the Traveler. “There's still a lot she doesn't know, though.”
“Yes. I noticed she doesn't really think through her actions. It's all sheer power for her.”
“I've yet to really teach her anything. I told her some things and chucked her into your Crucible.”
“Plenty of potential in that one, then.” Shaxx turned back his tablet, arranging for the next match, which had Leilani registered in the queue. Silently, he took her out of the low-level list and into a higher level one.
“A certain friend of mine once said “knowledge is power...especially if you have a knife”.” Nessa produced a throwing knife from out of nowhere, tossing it. “Leilani doesn't have a knife, so she'll make one of her light.”
“Where are you going with this?”
“Sheer power is great and all, but unless you know how to use and refine it…” she looked out into the sky, past the Traveler, trailing off. “...you're no better than the weakest guardian.” She finished quietly.
