"Good. The story burns inside me. You are the only one I dare to tell what is to happen. Not even Turin has heard what I am about to say. I will leave it to you to decide the truth." She leant towards Nero and beckoned him to come closer. "Imagine two armies facing one another in battle, one more powerful than the other. The weaker force has a captain whose presence is like that of a dove. Yet despite this his troops fight bravely and are about to overwhelm the larger force. Suddenly in the midst of the battle the captain is captured. He is taken from the field, killed and cast to one side. The battle turns and the small army is overwhelmed and rushes into hiding, scattered like the stars in the sky."<br/>Zaida looked at Nero and could see he was eager to hear the rest.<br/>"Many years later there are stories that the captain is alive, somehow brought back to life by a powerful charm, and the battle is about to take place again. You find that you have the one weapon that can stop him; in fact, with this instrument you will become the commander of the strongest force this world has ever seen. You are given the power over the winds and the sea. In one word you can stop time. It is a weapon so powerful that even Odev will bow down to you and all his servants fall at your feet. What would you do?"
