Power is everything. This is the first lesson I learned. This is the first lesson everyone living in Sadona learns. The less power you had the less you were worth as a human being plain and simple. Every single person in this world is born with a gift. Some with amazing gifts like my dad who's ability to glimpse into the future gained him his position as advisor to our royal dung heap of a leader, King Daxin or my mother with her gift of telepathy allowing her to become the city's minister of law and justice. A slightly above average gift like healing will allow you to join and find work with one of the many guilds of the city that specialize in certain brands of power or even allow you to open up your own business...if you're lucky. Lastly, there are those unlucky individuals with admittedly underwhelming powers such as the ability to change the color of any object or make flowers grow, earning them the lowest rung on the social ladder. Well actually not the lowest, that spot is exclusively held by yours truly. My name is Seraphina Beladin and I'm powerless.
