Sometimes you can't be who you want to be and sometimes you can't do what you want to do.

That is the daily life of our anti-heroine. She is over powered with innate and learned magics and abilities but she does not have them to use them. she has them because she was born with them and she learns quickly. 

for her it is about acquisition not utilization. She wants to have power to understand power but she doesn't want to serve and protect. 

but it is out of her hands because she is Rachel, the Milana of Trannisa realm. her purpose is to maintain a balance dictated by the realm.

she is there when she has to be and when she is not needed she is off learning new things. 

so what happens when she is suddenly needed all the time? will her habit of avoidance become a mask of doubt and insecurity. 

so will she be a flawed being and pass the torch or will she endure in self doubt and constant insecurity. 

or is there a third option that has been there all along and completely out of her control?

Amala's eyes were closed as runes etched themselves around her. They were in the walls, ceiling, floor and the air around her. Anis recognized many of them but many she did not know. She knew enough of them to know that this was a seer ritual and that Amala was trying to know the fate of a large group.


Was she trying to learn the fate of the Alyanna? 


'Sister! Come now! Amala is unconsciously enacting a seer ritual!'


Anis felt her sister's shock even as she felt her and three others appearing next to her. Anis looked to see Rachel, a Fasarian, Farasharns,  and Michael. Rachel and the Fasarian stepped forward at the same time expressions of shock and fear on both of their faces.


The Fasarian spoke first. "This ancient forbidden magic passed down to the Fasarian."


Farasharns stepped closer now with his eyes narrowed. "Is it? I do not recognize it?"


"Neither do I? If ancients like us do not recognize what started with the Alyanna then what is this."
