"It is biology. One small group of biologically gifted and way the hell more volatile people has been ruling for thousands and thousands of years. Sometimes they leave the non-magic people alone, sometimes they torment them. But yeah, it's hard to think of them as different when it just comes across as jerk-faced."
Dinah bit her lip. "I dunno. Maybe that'll help. But we're outsiders, Momo. We may wear these rings, but ... we're outside everything. We won't be joining a Court. Or staying to plant crops with the farmers. We have powers, but they can't put us in their little boxes. They may just mark us down as freak exceptions and not take anything more away from the situation than that." She sighed. "This one Half-Blood from Agio, Kevan-- he did so much more with his magic than anyone expected. They need people like that to show them how to aim higher than what they think they're locked into." She looked over at Julian. "And most of her Court may treat us as Karla's equals. But... we can't be sure how long that'll always hold true."
