Borate of Dunmore-Shana’s Magic
His father had forbidden sharing of the information he was about to depart in fear of reprisal. The family wanted to keep Shana safe at all costs. He wasn’t sure how he knew it, but Alomar knew Borate would protect Shana with his life, so taking a deep breath he told of Shana’s power, explaining her gift in detail.
“Not only can Shana start fires, she can put them out. With one breath, she can douse a blaze,” he whispered in awe. “She can part the waters of the river, draw forth rain, and pull the power of the sun to warm the land,” he stated, assessing Borate for signs of disbelief.
Seeing Borate was listening intently, Alomar told of Shana calming the beasts of the wild, multiplying the gardens of the village by sifting soil through her hands and replacing it around vegetables, and predicting the future.
“She has only predicted one significant event,” he informed Borate. “The rest have been little things only important to her.”
“Her power will grow as she does,” Borate proclaimed. “The more intelligent, insightful, and mature Shana gets, the more important her visions will be.” He looked Alomar in the eye, and stated, “Always listen to her, Alomar. You never know when something seemingly insignificant could mean life or death.”
