10 Things I Miss From the Year 400 B.C.
By Jalmari ta Korento
1. Eating raw meat wasn’t abnormal.
2. Politics was much easier. Fights were easier to settle. Eye for an eye, or death.
3. Humans knew we existed. No need to hide … or not as much as we do now.
4. Doing most everything with your bare hands, no technology.
5. Humans were much more gullible and respectful. Tell them you were a god, and they’d worship you. Or call you a demon. Either way, they knew better than to mess with my kind.
6. No modern weapons. We had the upper hand in battles.
7. Open, undeveloped land. Space to breathe.
8. Public Greek bathing houses. I don’t think that needs an explanation.
9. Women were easier to please. Didn’t expect much, didn’t complain as much.
10. Food was easy to come by, lots of defenseless humans. Lots of causalities from battles. Also, more large animals.

Love of Teaching Times Ten
Ten Things I Love About Teaching
1. Teaching younger faeries about their powers gives me great pride. I contribute to the future of our world by mentoring others.
2. I get to give back to my instructors by mentoring others. It's my way of saying thank you to them for teaching me.
3. It's great to see the light shine in my students eyes when they master their powers or when they reach a new skill level. It makes me happy that they are happy.
4. I have the thrill of meeting so many other faeries. I love being surrounded by so many smart and dedicated faeries and making new friends.
5. I continue to learn from my students even as I teach them.
6. As an assistant to many of the other teachers, I have the joy of knowing I am helping them. Teaching can be stressful at times, but I'm glad I can help make it less so for them.
7. When my students succeed, I succeed too. The best part of my career is at graduation and seeing the students receive their Mastery medallions.
8. Some days I work with small faes (ages 5 to 10). I love teaching them about faery history. That age is so inquisitive. I get excited being in the same room with them as their exuberance is contagious.
9. Another great thing about working with the younger ones is I get to see them again years later when they enter University. It's wonderful to grow up and learn along side them.
10. Teaching gives my life purpose.

Ten Faery Wishes
Ten Powers I wish I Had
1. Healing - I do not think I could be an actual Healer as a profession. It would be hard to deal with all the injuries and illnesses, especially with faes (children). However, it would be nice to have the power to Heal faeries if they needed.
2. Telepathy - I would love to be able to read other beings thoughts. Not to pry or invade their privacy, but to avoid confrontation. It would be useful to know one's true intentions in a given situation. Would I use it against my sisters? Of course I would.
3. Control Fire - Fire in itself is a powerful force and being able to control it? That is the ultimate power I believe. It would be wonderful to be able to hold fire in my hands and manipulate it the way I see fit.
4. Protection - Having no powers at all at the moment, this one would be a huge improvement. I would be able to protect myself from other magics and protect those that I love too. Besides, I would rather be on the defensive than the offensive.
5. Telekinesis - I will admit I am jealous that my sister Letarri has this power. It serves so many uses. One could move objects out of their path or could even move beings and people from their personal space. I would love to use this against my sisters sometimes as they either ignore me or crowd my space.
6. Control the Weather - They say not to mess with Nature which is why I might like having this power. It would not be much different from not having one. At least I could say I had one and maybe then I would have friends...
7. Mind Influence - I would not use this power to control others to do evil things or for entertainment. I would simply stop my mother from forcing me to visit the Healers. Then again, if I had a power at all, I would not have a need to go.
8. Invisibility - Well, I guess this one would not be any different either. I am basically invisible to most others anyway. No one notices me from the masses. But at least if I was really invisible, no one could taunt me anymore.
9. Phasing - I would love to walk through walls and other solid objects. It would be useful as I try to escape my mother or the Healers' appointments. I would simply be able to phase out of the room. Definitely a great means of escape.
10. Regeneration - I think anyone would like this power. To heal on your own almost instantly? That would be a great power to have. But I doubt it would heal the emotional wounds that have been dealt to me.
