Rachel sat on the floor looking at her
arm where the cut was. In a far away voice she asked, "Do cuts usually
disappear here?" Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Rachel. Alanna walked
over to Rachel and said, "Where was the cut?" Rachel pointed and Alanna looked
and then examined it with her magic. Alanna stopped her examination with her
emberstone and the look on her face was one of surprise.
"Rachel, you have the gift. When you
were little did strange things happen to you?"
"Once in the winter at the orphanage, I
was around 4 and I was cold. I didn't have any blankets and I was wearing a
t-shirt and shorts. Well, I really wished that they would start a fire in the
fireplace, but they never did. The next thing I know, there is a fire roaring
in the fireplace. Then there are the animals. Wherever I am any animal, of all
kinds, come to me. I guess you could say that I have a knack for animals. Is
that what you wanted to know?" Alanna stared at Rachel and then looked over at
Thayet, Jonathon and the others. By that time all of Kel's friends had come
into her room.
Alanna hesitated for a moment too long
and Jonathon answered Rachel for Alanna. "Yes, Rachel it would look like you
have the Gift and you may have Wild Magic. We will have to get Daine and Numair
to train you." He stopped when he noticed Alanna glaring at him and walked out
of the room beckoning for Rachel to follow him.
At Daine and Numair's room, Numair was
amazed at the resemblance Rachel had to King Jonathon, Queen Thayet and Prince
Roald. When he heard that Rachel had magic that was the only thing that he
thought about, though.
"I'll be happy to train you, Rachel. I'm
sure that Daine will be happy to, too."
"Of course." Daine pulled Numair into
the other room, because she needed to talk to him about Rachel's magic.
