“Well I’ve been doing some research on that because it’s obviously rare and I knew you would eventually begin to wonder. But I couldn’t find a trace like yours documented anywhere. The only thing that I may have figured out is that the trace’s swirls are made up of seaweed.” My mind automatically went to the sea weed reaching for me and surrounding me. I looked down at my trace and ran my finger along the three swirls in the shape of an upside down triangle. It would make sense I had a connection to it. “but that doesn’t tell us anything, except that the Daughter you’re descended from has a connection with seaweed. However that’s pretty common among the Nerieds. What’s interesting about yours is the fact that the seaweed isn’t the whole trace; it simply makes up the design of your trace. It’s only a part of it. I’m not really sure what that means. But I promise I’ll keep trying to find something.” She gave me a supportive smile.

“Do you think it’s because I was gone for so long? Maybe it just morphed in to something

new since I was never around any other Tydes?”

“No, that wouldn’t happen. The design of your trace can’t change once it’s there,” Kira said

and shook her head.

“Do they just magically show up or are we born with them?”

“It’s beneath the skin at birth, but barely visible until that part of your body is exposed to the

particular item you’re connected to. Once that happens, it’s sort of…triggered, and it shows on top of

your skin. Usually a child’s parents will expose them and bring their trace out at a young age. So I’m

assuming your parents did just that while you were still a baby.” My parents. That was a foreign

concept.

“Are we born with our abilities? Willow told me they reach maturity at eighteen, but do we

always have them?”

“Yes, but they don’t start to come out until about age fourteen or fifteen. Sometimes it can be

younger though, or older. Have any of your abilities started coming out yet?” she asked. Getting the

feeling she knew more than I thought she did about my abilities, I decided to give her a little bit of

information, hoping that would satisfy her for a while.

“I was able to manipulate water a little bit in my Oceanic Experience class but that’s about

it.” I tried not to make it sound like a big deal.

“Well I have a feeling your abilities will start to show themselves very soon, so whenever you

want to talk or practice, you know how to find me.” She gave me another supportive smile but

remained thoughtful. I felt bad for not confiding in her, but I didn’t feel like I had a choice. If Isadora

was grilling her for information, the best thing I could do was not give her any…for her protection and

mine. I could only hope I was doing the right thing.
