Zahir is born from the power of the smoke in the oasis area. No one knows the exact first day. But the holder of the vessel that imprisoned him claimed to be the owner. He can change shape and weave strength into support. People then continued to tell that they could grant all kinds of blessings. When the impossible is not accomplished. He was accused of disobedience. Instead, one is willing to examine their own beliefs about him.
Years in the contract market have made Zahir an expert at listening to words. He found gaps in the order to leave a little freedom. And sometimes the request is twisted until the requester gets into trouble because he is angry at the possessor. Their pain becomes an excuse to hurt people who may not know the system behind it.
A tinkering boy bought a container from the market thinking it was a lamp. When Zahir met her, she asked to make her dead mother come back. He bluntly said that he couldn't, instead creating a fake image. The child is sorry but does not punish him. Later, I asked him what he would like me to help with. Zahir was silent for a long time. Because he has never prepared an answer to a question that he owns.
He asked to stop using the word owner. The child took him to Zhaowen to read the contract. It was found that many of the binding words were not consensual. But some of it comes from words that Zahir himself had promised in times of desperation. The release must therefore be separated according to each condition. It's not like smashing the container and everything ends beautifully.
In the twentieth year, the merchant seized him, citing debt. The child refused to trade Zahir's freedom for the money offered. He had a chance to escape through the smoke hole. But chose to come back and help those who were captured in the same market with a plan with Nirach. Not proclaiming that all their wishes will come true.
Zahir weaves a beam of energy that temporarily breaks the passageway. Every word promised clearly defines the distance and weight. When the beam is nearly exhausted He said it first instead, forcing himself to preserve the image of a mage. Children help call people to stop in line. While Khachin actually built the road, he took over. His abilities were valuable without being limitless.
Opening the contract helped save many lives. Zahir testified about twisting his request and paid as much as he could. He would not allow the traders to use those mistakes as a reason to return to his possession. Responsibility and freedom must coexist. Otherwise, the oppressed will have no choice but to repeat their crimes for the rest of their lives.
He joins the Arun Coalition as a temporary support builder and promises inspector. I like to ask every plan whether it is actually achievable or just sounds impressive. The original container became the item he chose to use to rest his energy. Can be opened from the inside and there was no other person's name engraved as the owner.
Before leaving, the repair boy asked if he would come back to visit. Zahir didn't answer forever or every time he called. He opened the itinerary and told the time he intended to return. With a promise to send news if it changes. The child nodded in satisfaction. He recently learned that a one-size-fits-all promise can be even more powerful than a win-win. And the breath of life should not be a commodity that everyone has the right to buy at all.
