Ego. Bravado, boldness or courage. Whatever you call it, it was something that he always felt short on.

Everyone chalked him up to be some great thing, with skills that were a mile long but, he wasn't. He didn't have to skills - they were flukes. A series of lucky events that worked in his favor.

Now here he sat, being briefed by Martine about some task he now had to do and how SeeDs were coming from Balamb.

Irvine nodded. Snipe the Sorceress; that was something could do. It was something in the list of nothings he had skill in.

These past two weeks held a Prompt-a-thon where there were no holds barred. However it was a complete flop. It makes handing out points easy though!

This week's word prompt: #67 - Ego

It's something some have an abundance of, some don't have any and need to get some and then some are far to modest to notice when they should use their ego.
Maybe Ego is actually a term used by a partner for someone's 'member'? Now that is an interesting way to boost an Ego!

However you may see it or not, give it up in 100 words.
