Gifts was an interesting tale that reminded me of something along the lines of Canterberry Tales of Ulysses. The idea of each "clan" having a gift was a unique and interesting idea, but I would have liked to see more of a relationship between father and son. They were leading up to a big confrontation and then just glossed over it.

Trust in yourself and your abilities.
