When Kraka was a small girl, she was stricken with a terrible fever. Though she recovered from her illness, she was never quite right afterward. She spoke of traveling to other worlds, and of a creature she called “the man who was a fire.” She claimed to have discovered this being trapped in a cave under a steady drip of water falling from a stalactite. Kraka said that she rescued the man who was a fire from this predicament, and in return he promised to teach her magic.
And he did.
