Hey, Ethan. Yeah? Remember the Twinkie on the bus? The one I gave you in second grade, the day we met? The one you found on the floor and gave me without telling me? Nice. He grinned and shot the ball. It never really fell on the floor. I made that part up.

Obviously the whole Wayward thing hasn't been explained to you properly. You don't have any superpowers. You can't leap over tall buildings in a single bound or fight Dark Casters with your magic cat. Basically, you're a glorified tour guide who's no better equipped to face a bunch of Dark Casters than Mary P. over here -Ridley
