There are five Islands off the coast of Janaru.
Every other year Rachel would sail to the second Island to visit her Ancestors, the Witch and the Wizard of Falma.
Playing in their gardens, running circles round their giant pet spider, walking the narrow lanes, mastering castles on the beach and taming the waves of the ocean, she trained to become an Ancestor.
Then one year, the year she came of age, she sailed to the third island and watched the moon darken the sun.
That was the year a Wizard died, and a Witch was born.
Rachel never returned.
