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?

Rachel bent down and picked up several bulbs. She half expected them to deteriorate in her hands but they were not only did the bulbs feel firm to the touch they did not begin so loose their integrity at all. Rachel looked at one closely. She could see tiny sparks of magic flowing through and around the palm sized bulb.


And the longer she held the bulb the more she felt a trickle of data enter her being.


Rachel looked at her new companion. Waves of pink, green, and blue moving over her scales. Marm smiled.


"Ask if you don't believe me. Perhaps she brought you here just for this."


Rachel looked at the bulb in her hand and before she could make a decision she heard a distant ethereal voice.


"Take from her little one. There are more areas like this you and take what you need. Where you plant these I will be and our connection will become stronger. As these trees grow stronger with you there will be no need for a journey like this.
