"You need to believe yourself capable of succeeding, Adrien", Valerion replied, his voice soft, but full of conviction. "I am sure you can. However -- however, you need to believe in yourself, as well. You must not torment yourself if you don't succeed immediately.

You must expect and accept these failures without blaming yourself for them. Perhaps you will need to draw one hundred failed circles, perhaps one thousand, but you will eventually succeed, and I am here to help you. Alright?".
