It had taken him a long time to learn how to use the voice, to learn the right tone, the right power that was needed to command someone to do whatever he wanted them too — it was extraordinarily difficult but he had learned and now it was time for his baby sister to learn, she wasn’t a little kid anymore, she was a teenager just like he was which meant it was her time to learn how to use the voice just like he did.

“Your tone isn’t strong enough, you have to believe in the command you’re giving.”

Paul instructed, trying to make his faltering tone firm but he couldn’t - he couldn’t be firm with her, she was his little sister — they were only two years apart in age but that never stopped him from seeing her as the little girl who tried to steal his toys when they were children. He was the one who had to teach her how to use the voice, their parents were always busy with the burden of responsibilities placed upon them so this was his issue now.

He wanted to know she could defend herself, if someone ever tried to harm her that she could use the voice, take control over them and keep herself safe — there were guards outside of every room, all of the time but it was easy for someone to slip past a guard with the right plan and that’s what worried him.

“Speak more powerfully.”

He spoke, he was trying to help her but he could tell very clearly that his way of trying to help her with this was probably only making the princess irritated — emotions affected the voice, she couldn’t channel any hint of powerfulness in her tone if she was agitated. He knew how frustrating it was to want to be able to do something so badly but not be able to figure it out, he had been through the exact same struggle she was going through.
