“I shall tell you the tale of Linya. She was a lesser ring; never one of the Great,” he began. “She was wrought of plain silver, and her stone was of sapphire. But her jewel reflected the very colour of the ocean’s abyss — the deepest aquamarine blue — and her power, like that of water itself, was fluid and changeable; it varied with each new master….”
