THE STICK was happy being a stick. Unlike many other entities it was totally satisfied with everything about itself and everything that it was. If Shallan had tried to turn any other stick into fire, she would have met with success, but this particular stick enjoyed its peculiar life and everything about its existence. Except for one thing. The stick was alone.
