*The green orb began to shift colors, first blue and then red before letting off small sparkles. Julian glanced at it and then back to his sister.*
"So what would you like to see? What feat can I amaze you with?"

*She gasped and her hand flew to her mouth in wonder.*
"How did you-? Can you do anything? Anything at all?"

*Julian shrugged.*
"I don't know. I've never pushed myself."
*He batted his lashes slowly.*
"But I think you might just be clever enough to help me do that."

"I could help you do magic?" *she whispered, half to herself.*

"Well...that depends."
*Julian pursed his lips a moment in thought.*
"I thought you might be able to test me. Give me ideas. Then we can see if I can..."
Use you.
"...find a way for you to help."

*She nodded, her eyes never leaving the glowing orbs.*
"I'll do anything I can."

*Julian set her down and sat on the floor next to her cross-legged.*
"So tell me, Sultana...what service can I do for you? Let me prove my skill. What would you like to see?"
*He arched a brow with his grin, hoping that she would play along.*

*She grinned.*
"Can you make things out of other things?"

*Julian arched his brow in interest.*
"Perhaps...And what was it that you had in mind?"

"Well, could you... turn someone into a toad, like the witches in stories?"

*Julian suppressed a laugh.*
"I have never tried. Maybe..."
*He smiled and leaned close to her.*
"Why? Do you want to be a toad?"

*She shook her head, with a nervous giggle.*
"I didn't mean me,' *she said.* "I just wanted to know if you can."

*Julian sighed and focused hard, closing his eyes. He held out his hand, palm up to show it empty. Then he placed his other hand over it, rubbing gently. Pulling it away, he revealed a small frog.*
"Is this close enough?"

*She laughed, clapping her hands. Her eyes widened in wonder.*
"And it's really magic? You're not just trying to trick me?"
*She knew her mother sometimes told her things that weren't true in order to make her feel better, and 'magic' on stage was just illusion.*

*Julian handed the frog to her, which squirmed about. He tilted his head slightly.*
"What do you think?"
*He smiled gently.*
"Do you think I can do real magic? Or do you think that I would try to trick you?"
