A scene
The river in the Golian Mountains has burst its banks upstream, and the villages below it do not know yet. The shaman Mahalu ties back her hair, rubs dust from the trail on her ankles, and starts to run. She does not stop at the first ridge, or the second. By noon she has covered what a messenger on foot would need all day to cross, and her breathing is no heavier than when she started. At the third village she shouts her warning and keeps going. Behind her the water is already rising in the gullies.
