			As I said, I was walking along the edge of our forest, yours and mine Luvarion, peering out at the curious doings of the humans, (do you remember when we did that Luvarion?), when suddenly I heard my true name spoken. It pulled me towards he who spoke it.

			When I finally reached him, it was my "father" -- he forced me to call him that. You've met him already. He was standing in a clearing near here -- this whole valley used to be wooded -- all alone. He wore old, ratty furs, and hobbled with a staff. Before I could approach him, he spoke.

			"You will never harm me. You will never show me your true appearance, and you will always obey my commands. And you will never reveal your true self to anyone," he commanded. And he spoke my Name and bound me.

			"Now," he continued, "Go forth and gather all the water from the valley, from the swamp, from the plants, from the very air itself. But not from any of the humans. Bring it with you and hide it. Let none of it escape."

			Upon those words I left my master. I became a mist and went to the swamp in the middle of the valley and drained it, taking the water into myself. I have no idea what the villagers who lived in the valley thought as the water vanished, I was too busy to notice them. I drained the streams that fed it -- there weren't many, most of the water was from the ground and I'd drained that with the swamp. Then I began on the plants, leaving behind me nothing but dried husks. I even had to drain the livestock and animals that the humans kept. I had no choice -- he knew my Name. I drained even the air until it became so dreadfully, painfully dry. After a week it was done.

			I was so bloated with the water that I could hardly move, could hardly contain it. Where once my form had been transparent, now it was nearly a solid blue mass. I felt I was about to burst, but somehow I managed to return to the clearing. My master wasn't there.

			Where was he? I looked around and saw a partially collapsed tower a short distance away. I slowly moved towards it and went inside. My master was there. He was sitting on a log before a window looking out into the withered valley. I could feel the vegetation crying for water.

			"It is done," I told him.

			"Good, good," he said rubbing his hands together. "Now follow me." He began to mumble to himself, "I'll teach those fools--"

			I had no choice. I drifted behind him down some stairs and into the catacombs beneath. I followed my master into a room that
