Life Flows

Sunlight beamed down on a lazy late afternoon, sparkling off the stream that brought life to the area. This region seemed to be untouched by the volcanic eruption and that gave Lúta hope she could find some high quality plants here. She knew exactly what she wanted to find. She was on the prowl for elderberry bushes from which she could gather the berries and use the leaves to make a green elder ointment. She'd saved some fat from her last kill and had it wrapped securely in leaves and again in deer hide. She didn't want the smell attracting predators to her and so far she'd been lucky.

Lúta had seen other healers with jars and various kind of containers but as she had not found any herself yet she would work with what she had. Nostrils flaring she caught the scent of elder and quickly followed her nose to the source.
