Syeha looks startled, as though that thought, whether of being one or of not having to become one, had not crossed her mind. "What you do have to be is yourself," Blue Turtle Dreaming continues. "Nothing is ever gained by denying parts of who you are. Besides, who else can you really be?" "What is it that you want me to do?" asks the girl. "First, learn to control and channel your magic so that you are not a danger to yourself or others. Second, make educated choices when the time comes."

"Mother is so strong, and wise, and powerful, and I couldn't be prouder of her, but I'm NOT! Not strong or wise or powerful. It was easier to pretend that I had no magic all the time than to try to explain that sometimes it was there and at others it wasn't," Syeha confesses. "It can happen that way, for some," Blue Turtle reassures her. "Obviously, since it did for you, but I know of many magicians who fluctuated early on, yet grew both wise and strong. You don't have to be a witch-woman."

One day, Blue Turtle Dreaming takes her aside and inquires, "Why is it that you suppress your magic?" "I don't know what you mean," Syeha says, but she does. As the silence stretches longer, she asks in return, "How did you know?" "I see things in people that even other magic-workers can't sometimes. It is my strongest gift," the shaman replies. "My... gift... was not always there, to be counted upon. Until recently, it was very sporadic, and I... just wanted to be normal," she tells him.

She has occasional mysterious crying spates, that even she cannot explain, and no one is sure if this is a form of homesickness, or a side effect of the heavy spells she was under. However, these blow over like storm clouds leaving her cheerful and bright, and since the girl is not nearly as shy as Summer Wind was, the local young people begin to welcome and include her a little. In her own way, she is as lovely and exotic as Summer Wind, and the adolescents of the clan notice that as well.
