“Have you ever tried anything new with your gifts?” Rastaban asked.

“Tried anything new how?” Andrev knelt beside Kana in the grass, helping her weave nets.

“Sometimes I try to lift something bigger than ever before, just to see if I can.” As if to make a point, Rastaban stretched forth one hand, and water arced out of the river, curved across the sky, and spilled back down.

“What would I try?” Andrev asked.

Kana said, “Something new.”
