A scene
A sea-nomad boy of the Munark had been stranded on the far side of Oguamana when the volcano woke, and the only way to him was across a slope of hissing ash and steaming rock. Tauri the witch chose heat, spoke the charm, and walked out onto ground that blistered the soles of the men who tried to follow her. She felt it as nothing more than a warm afternoon. She found the boy crouched in a lava cave, wrapped him in her cloak and carried him back, while the rest of the raft-clan watched with their hands over their mouths.
