She was standing outside the Shrine of Menhir. “Come to me, Rinelle, come to me, my child.”

“I can’t, I’m not old enough”, she said to the voice coming from inside the shrine.

“Come to me, my child, come to me and let me show you the truth”, the voice said again.

Rinelle walked up to the small shrine expecting the doors to be locked, but as she got to the doors, they slowly opened in front of her. As she walked into the shrine, the torches on the walls ignited, following her as she walked closer to the Wheel.

Rinelle stood before the Wheel and looked at the familiar images shown on it. There was a spiral, it gave it's user elemental magic, a tree, this symbol gave the gift of healing, and finally a shield which gave the user protection spells.

As Rinelle touched the Wheel, it turned to dust revealing an older coat of paint beneath with symbols of dark magic to choose from. A skull, a crescent moon, and a tentacle.

Rinelle was not familiar with these symbols, so she asked the voice, "What are these symbols, I've never seen them before".

"These symbols offer the user dark magics, even though they are considered dark magic, they don't make you evil, that choice is always yours. The skull gives you power over death, the moon gives you the power over shadows, and the tentacle gives you power over the mind. You alone must choose your destiny, my child. I cannot make you choose, nor can I make this choice for you”, a voice from behind her said.

Rinelle turned around and saw the ghost form of a girl floating in front of her.

“Who are you”, she asked.

“My name is Aesara Torian, I am your great great aunt. Many years ago, it was my turn to spin the Wheel, and before I could even spin it, it broke, revealing these evil symbols. I spun it, and it landed on the skull, giving me power over death. The priests saw what I was given, and took me away and executed me before I even knew what was going on. That is why I called you here today, to spin the wheel, and receive your gift”.

“But I’m not old enough to spin the wheel”, she said.

“No, you aren’t, according to the priests, but by spinning the wheel, you will receive your gift anyway. And I have a plan to get revenge on the men who took my life, but I need your help. I’ve tried with other family members, but they couldn’t hear me. You are the only one who can help. You must spin the wheel tonight, and then when you turn ten, you will spin it again, I believe that even though you will spin the wheel now, you will receive another gift when you spin it later. I could be wrong, but if you do, you will be more powerful than any other arcanist in all of history. Now please I beg you, spin the wheel, and I will help you use your gift”, Aesara pleaded.

As Rinelle grabbed onto the Wheel, memories of her time in the shrine flooded her mind. That night only a year ago. She spun the wheel, and it landed on the tentacle.

Nobody ever found out what happened to the wheel, the priests repaired it, and never found out she had been the one who received her gift.

The priests came to each home, and tested all the children who were the proper age to spin the wheel, and found nothing out of the ordinary.

This time when she spun the wheel, it landed on the shield.
