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.

The meeting was being run by the Wist family and the current head of the Wists was Willamina. She was a happy woman and she had a smile on her face for the entire meeting. She had a round face with puffy cheeks and with large dimples and kind smiling eyes.


The main table had the heads of all of the families. Adam Ambrose and Willamina Wist were at the center. Next to Willamina was Carrie Clarkton, then Millston Meyers. Next to Adam Ambrose was Samuel Sawp and then Townston Timms.


None of these leaders had the jovial look of Willamina but Carrie had beautiful, kind eyes. The men all looked stern and ready for business. The direct family members of these six families sat at tables positioned to the sides of the main table on the central platform with special guest and friend tables positioned amongst them. Hazel and her mother sat at one of these, friends and families tables.
