"I was never as impulsive as he is. My upbringing instilled self-control in me at a young age, perhaps that is why I was able to win the magical tournament my first year. I never lost my self-control, no matter what the situation was. Marrin later told me that my self-control surprised him.He had expected me to crack under the pressure he was putting on me, but I didn't ." Stripetail said to her. " I have always imposed strict controls on myself, even when I'm casting powerful spells. This prevents me from reaching my full power, but that is a good thing. There is not a creature alive that could withstand me at my full power Eva, not you or Wayne or even Littlefoot, nor any anti-magical defense that could block me at full power. Because of this fact, I always keep strict controls on my powers, and never allow them fully to be unleashed, for the protection of those around me. I did this when I was with Snowpaw and my classmates, I do it when you or Wayne or anyone else is nearby. Stripetail paused, ' I think together it will be easier for him.With your help, Littlefoot will be able to learn self-control faster than if I was teaching him by myself."
