"Anyway, why would you doubt that I'm Water?"
"Repeat the prophecy for me, dearie," Nessie asked an
d Macey did as she asked. She knew it by heart by now, anyway.

Nessie took a large sip from the ale the bartender had brought her a while ago. "Go on."
Macey tried remembering. She wasn't as sure about the exact wording as she had been about the other one.
