“I…um… saw the same one, earlier today. And he, uh, thought it would be good if we talked. He said… we have similar… I’m not sure. He was very alarming. And said you might know what’s going on.”

“I don’t know,” she answered honestly. “He seemed intent on getting me stirred up and sending me off. I hoped he may be right, though… that you might know what’s going on…”

“Just that something ‘big’ is about to happen to us both. It seemed very concerning.”

He was silent for a moment, then leaned forward. "Perhaps you should sit down."

She hesitated, shifting her weight anxiously, then sat down.

The man lowered his voice. "Who are you, exactly, and what exactly did the diviner tell you?"

“He… said that I was about to receive a gift that would also be a curse. And that you had the same energy as me. Something was awakening in us and he thought maybe you had already figured out what it meant.”

The man's face grew more grim. "You feel it too, then? Has it stirred yet?"

She fidgeted uneasily. “What is ‘it’, exactly?”

"If you don't know yet, then he was lying to you." He rubbed his beard, sighing heavily. "He got a rise out of me and I paid him more than I should have. He's probably conned you. But..." He took a deep breath. "Listen, it's not your problem. I'm sorry that happened to you."

She blinked at him. “Why would he send me to you if he were lying? Why not keep it vague or describe someone that doesn’t exist? It wouldn’t make sense to send me to discover his lie.”

He hesitated. "You're just a child. It wouldn't make sense for you to be a part of this, period. But you make a fair point...You haven't felt anything, then?"

Rana shook her head. “I was just bored… what should I be feeling?”
