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 shuffled through the narrow crack leading to the second area behind the blue veil. The further in she moved the brighter the light blue light became. It seemed to fill her being with warmth and she felt she was gaining more and more understanding the further she moved to the next area.


The blue veil is the veil of enlightenment. It opens your eyes and makes you receptive to information and overall learning. She was gaining a higher level of understanding simply by being behind the veil.


The only truly treacherous thing about the blue veil was becoming lost within the enlightenment. Some times a person does not want to leave such a state and they refuse to listen or comply.


Rachel felt the scape widening ever so slightly as she moved closer and closer to the exit until it was wide enough for her to walk forward through it and not sideways. After a short time it was wide enough for two to walk through it shoulder to shoulder.
