Greetings.
*gasps because of coldness*
I don't think I will ever get used to the coldness of water when I'm not performing divination.

In the beginning, the soothsayers were just soothsayers.

When the brick paved streets were still covered with stinking swamp mud, the arcanists known as "Soothsayer" were already there. They were there before the city walls overcame the wilderness.

They saw the Bulgars, the Hazaras, the Germans, and the Greeks come and go, preaching in vain in this land, until one day the Prince's envoy from Byzantium returned on horseback with scrolls.

The changes seemed to happen overnight:
Millions of onion domes covered the land like snow, erasing all traces of the Kievan Rus arcanists had once known. The ability to harness the power of nature was considered evil. It was still early before the European Inquisitions lit the pyres in this land, but many of the arcanists were still accused, tried, and quickly sunk to the bottom of the lakes...

It didn't matter to the Rusalki why these people were thrown into the water. As they brought another arcanist to shore, an offer was made in the glistening water...

The mermaid agreed to the exchange. That day, the "Soothsayer" died, but the "Waterkeeper" was born.

"This is just a story. It could happen to any race, not just arcanists. The Little Mermaid is fiction. The Rusalki don't necessarily have immortal souls, and the Waterkeepers are just the arcanists who control water... Nothing more."

She gently closes the fragile old book as she makes the sharp remark. Next to her, her little sister is fast asleep. She pokes at the fire to warm the room. Tonight, at least, neither of them has any questions that need to be answered by the divination.
