What is the meaning of the word mutant? Does it mean magical?
I am sorry about your brother, that is a very hurtful thing to happen. Somebody I know back home was born differently and his mother died during his birth. His family has treated him very poorly since, but he is one of the most clever men I have met.
A fireball? Interesting. Do their clothes not burn off?
I hope you are able to get back what you have lost soon.
