"You will gain the power to shrink yourself..." Valund continued, his face becoming serious. "...to a height of one inch. It's a new kind of dragon shout, one that was not previously known to us. There are... implications, of course." the stern Greybeard noted, "Because, I do not know if the shout gives you any other advantages. By shrinking yourself, you could be putting yourself in extreme danger. Of course, I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but this could be a sort of last ditch effort to escape trouble. By becoming tiny, you could escape from any prison, hide from any enemy, and nobody would ever suspect..."
"WOW!" Lorana interrupted, her voice filling with glee. "I can become tiny?! That's AMAZING!"
"Lorana!" Valund yelled, the entire monastery shaking from the power of his Greybeard voice. "...Lorana. Please. I will teach you this shout, but you need to promise me that you will only use it as an absolute last resort! Do you understand?"
"Yeah, yeah..." the Nord girl casually replied. "Come on, teach me it!"
"Very well." Valund sighed. "I will lend you some of my power. Come, and listen closely. Here are the words..."
Inscriptions suddenly appeared on the floor, in glowing letters of an arcane language. Lorana, of course, had no trouble reading them at all: MAL, KOPRAAN, FILOK
"Be very careful. If you use the first word, you will remain shrunken for one hour. The second word will shrink you for three days, and all three will permanently make you tiny." Valund warned. "We do not yet know how to reverse this, so take care NOT to use all three words... understood?"
"Yeah, got it!" Lorana replied, her heart already filling with excitement.

A day passed, and Lorana left High Hrothgar after bidding her father farewell. As soon as she left the monastery, however, she was instantly filled with the excitement to try out her new shout.
This is going to be so great! She thought to herself, considering her options. I HAVE to try this one out right away... but where to begin?
