Across the riverbank, a giant otter slumbers upon the rocks. The sun washes over him in waves and soothes his troubled mind. Of his brothers in the river, he is the least loved by their mother. True, he is older now and perhaps should be getting along on his own, but how can one move on in the face of such teasing and torment? With his whiskers twitching in sad frustration, he lets out a sigh and stretches across the rocks. He would think that he needed a friend if that had ever aided him in the past. Now all he needs is to get away from his family and the other predators in the water. After all, crocodiles lurk in the shallows, his brothers tell him.

And what, he wonders, is so awful about the riverbank? As his coat dries and spikes out, as the sunlight casts a sheen over his oily coat, he makes up his mind. He will not go into the water, maybe never again. Not with his family chittering at him every minute and the threat of death ever lurking. He rolls onto his back and looks up into the blue of the sky, blissful in his isolation. For now, anyway.

In the water before Kimber, the reflection of the Earth God appears. "So you've come, child. Look across the water, see the creature there- you must convince the otter to return to the water, by whatever means possible. Only then will your magic grow in power." And then, casting a ripple over his own features, the God of the Earth and the whisper of his watery voice disappeared.
