"Listen well, young ones, to the tale of Zarqa al-Yamama, the blue-eyed seer of the Jadis.<br>She stood watch upon the southern plains, and it was said she could spy riders a week's journey away. Finally, her tribe's foes sought to outwit her by marching behind uprooted trees, though they were many days' ride away.<br>But Zarqa's blue eyes perceived their ruse and she cried a warning to her people.<br>Yet her tribe - fearing madness - heeded her not. When the enemy's host fell upon them, every one of Zarqa's people was struck dead.<br> At last, they seized Zarqa herself and crucified her beneath the desert sun tearing from her those eyes that had been her gift.<br>So remember - a divine gift bears its own burden, and to ignore the seer's warning is to invite doom beyond reckoning."
