Abandoned Light

Lúta followed carefully after the pup, letting the girl do most of the searching. She was still a bit woozy and knew better than to push herself so soon after a head injury. Thankfully the girl seemed to pick up quickly. She called Lúta over and when the healer arrived she nodded. Well, she started to nod but winced and spoke instead. "Yes, that's the Valerian plant. Good job. Now we'll dig down to find the rhizome. It'll be a dark yellowish-brown color. About an inch long and a half inch thick. It'll seem like an odd swelling in the root." Lúta began to work at digging down by the base of the plant, inviting Pestilence to help her dig. The rhizome of Valerian was best harvested in the early fall so Lúta was thankful that they were close to the proper season.
