"Oh, not terrible. Magic waking up when I was barely old enough to walk, starting without control and learning you have lots of magic powers but no idea why.

Having some small adventures involving trolls and the like, and then heading for Camelot, only to be yanked into a whole other... whatever this is."

"Compared to this place, maybe not odd at all, but it feels that way to me."
