Fitting in has never been in the cards. Not part of the hand Fate dealt me. My superpower is animals, magical and otherwise. They adore me. Birds and insects too. Back when the Celts still roamed the Highlands, I begged them to shed light on how I came to be since my power is unique.<\/p>\n

You can guess how well that went. They\u2019re a taciturn, entitled lot. I didn\u2019t shed a single tear when they packed up and left Earth.<\/p>\n

Other mages don\u2019t care for me. They don\u2019t trust my one-of-a-kind magic. On my more generous days I don\u2019t blame them. For now, I run a tiny private investigator shop in the Scottish Highlands. Mortals are quick to hire me because I always solve their problems. Using magic is cheating, but they\u2019ll never find out.<\/p>\n

Most days, it\u2019s a delicate dance. If I get lucky, no other mage has it in for me. But I\u2019m still stuck hanging onto enough of a glamour to fool mortals. Occasionally, I want to pack it all in and vanish to\u2026well, to somewhere else.<\/p>\n

No one to blame but myself when my life skids off the rails.<\/p>\n

I’m basically a mountaineer at heart. I remember many hours at my desk where my body may have been stuck inside four walls, but my soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry.\u00a0There’s a timeless element to the mountains. They feel like old friends as I visit them, and visit them again. There’s nothing like standing on a remote pass where I’ve been before and seeing that the vista is unchanged. Or on an\u00a0equally\u00a0remote peak. Mountains are the bones of the world. They’ll prevail long after all of us are dust. It feels honest and humbling to share space with them. I hope I’m blessed with many more years to wander the local landscape. The memories are incomparable. They warm me and help me believe there will be something left for our children and their children after them.<\/span><\/p>\n
