'If unmaking things is forbidden, it seems logical that making
them would be too.'
'Making things is all right,' Beldin assured me. 'You just made
about a half-ton of bird-seed and you're still here, but don't ever
try to erase what you've done. If it's not right, that's just too bad.
Once it's been made, you're stuck with it.'
'That hardly seems fair,' I protested.
'Did you really expect life to be fair to you, Pol?' He replied.
'But if I make it, it's mine, isn't it? I should be able to do anything
I want with it. shouldn't I?'
'That's not the way it works, Pol,' Beltira told me. 'Don't
experiment with it. We love you too much to lose you.'
'What else is it that I'm not supposed to do?'
'Don't attempt the impossible,' Belkira said. 'Once you've
committed your will to something, you have to go through with it. You
can't turn the will off once you've unleashed it. It'll keep drawing
more and more out of you to try to get the job done, and it'll
eventually take so much out of you that your heart will stop, and
then you'll die.'
'How am I supposed to know what's possible and what isn't?'
'Come to one of us before you start,' Beltira said. 'Talk it over
with us and we'll let you know if it's all right.'

'Nobody tells me what to do!' I flared.
'Do you want to die?' Beldin demanded bluntly.
'Of course not.'


'Then do as you're told,' he growled. 'No experimenting on your
own. Don't do anything this way without consulting with one of us
first. Don't try to pick up a mountain range or stop the sun. We're
trying to protect you, Pol. Don't be difficult.'
'Is there anything else?' I was a little sullen at that point.
'You're very noisy,' Belkira said bluntly.
'What do you mean, "noisy"?'
'When you do something this way, it makes a sound we can hear.
When you made all that birdseed, it sounded like a thunderclap.
Always remember that we're not the only ones in the world with
this particular gift. There'll be times when you won't want to
announce the fact that you're around. Here, I'll show you.'
There was a large rock not far from the Tree, and uncle Belkira
looked at it and frowned slightly. Then the rock seemed to vanish,
and it instantly reappeared about a hundred yards away.
It wasn't exactly a noise. I felt it more than I heard it, but it still
seemed to rattle my teeth.
'Now do you see what I mean?' Belkira asked me.
'Yes. That's quite a sound, isn't it?'
'I'm glad you enjoyed it.'
They went on piling restrictions on me for quite some time. 'Is
that all?' I asked finally. They were beginning to make me tired.
