Kethlun Warder, journeyman glassblower, was a proud man. He had talent.

One day, he walked along the Syth. Of course, Lakik the Trickster decided that was the perfect moment for a lightning storm.

Keth panicked and forgot to stay close to the ground. His mind went blank.

His recovery took months. It was a mockery when he couldn't work.

Ashamed, he traveled.

In Tharios, he was discovered by the only other living lightning mage. A fourteen year old girl.

Lakik's teeth! She was going to teach him?

Keth swore in the distance, he could hear Lakik's laughter.
