I have been training for so long. I've mastered putting out and creating my flames, and can control it enough to only singe the tips of the fish. But they say today is the test, to see if the prophecy is true.

"Come, sit down. I shall tell you of the prophecy." The shaman says, and motions to a patch of grass next to him.

He points to the northern star, and begins the tale.

"Long ago, after Asena became ruler of this land. She had a vision, and her voice echoes it in our hearts. It has been said that after the blue stars and the sky worms came, that there would be a child of Asena, and they would be of fÿri." He looks over at my blank face. "Fire. This child will have the blood of two great leaders. They will also have a brother, whose blood is ice. The child will either warm his blood, or burn it."

I stare blankly into the night.

"Now, you have gained balance with your fÿri, but you must nurture it. There is something you must do. You must light the volcano inside you. That is where your power will grow."
