Aela knelt the flame hovering over providing a circle of radiant light, Aela hugged them each one at a time. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm sorry you had to find out about my powers this way... and that magic has harmed you two as well." [/color] 
Aela sighed and continued [color=bc8dbf]"Since you know, I might as well tell you."[/color] She pointed up at the small flame. It seperated into four each a different color, orange, blue, white, and black.
"[color=bc8dbf]Within my family each person born is able to use fire magic with these colors. Each color does different things. Mainly the white flames heal, the blue fire is used for higher offensive spells. And Black...is used for emergencies. However, there is a price to pay in our bloodline. Since mana or the source of magic runs through anyone gifted with magic it has a limit per person. My brother Adian.. his disease is caused by how his mana flows. You see he has so much of it that it's causing more harm then good. And it refills quickly before he can expend much of it. Apparently it is very common in my family for someone to pass away due to this." [/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"I usually try to expend tons of mana without causing too much damage to the environment around me. I do it as often as I need to keep my mana levels down. However... every time I use magic and when I get older the mana grows and the result of depleting it takes a bigger toll each time." 
All I know is there has to be someone gifted in magic at the Capital City just outside the kingdom. I planned on making the journey there to find a solution... and save my brother. He.... doesn't have much time. A month at the most is what I was informed of this mourning.[/color]"
