CHAPTER 13
In the months that followed, Amara, at the request of Bas
a’ Rhinn, spent considerable time in a cave near to where Graw’s home stood at
the base of the mountain. For the safety of the Raepuwa town, she was to use it
as a place to reflect and practice her craft. They found that fire was not her
only talent. She was balanced, as many never were. Fire and Ice came to her in
equal measure, tied directly to her emotions. Anger was combustive while her sorrow brought bitter cold. Bas a’ Rhinn taught her to channel, to perform small meditations to
focus her feelings. To make her desires second nature, her thoughts had to
become instincts that she could call up when she pleased, not only when needed.
