Two days and seventy-five kilometers down the river later, the residents of
the Shumi Village had a visitor.
The Shumis were a peace-loving race, in all ways humanoid despite two large sacks on either side of the mouth. Scientists, after years of study, could not figure out what the sacks were for, and the Shumi were never going to tell.
A young Shumi by the name of Nilg had come upon the baby as it floated in the water, somehow still alive. Once Nilg had picked up the baby, he suddenly knew why it had survived. Being in tune with magic, as were all Shumi, he felt the protection spell coursing around the child, and immediately rushed her to the Shumi Elders.
After a long debate and discussion (and after discovering the magical prowess within the child), the Elders decided to care for the human child, allow it to grow up in their village. And, in unison, they decided to allow Nilg to find the appropriate name for the child. It only took him a moment.
"I will name her Ultimecia," said Nilg to the Elders. "For she is already the most powerful sorceress of all Shumi."
The Elders nodded in agreement.
