Time To Make A Move

The Spirit listened with interest as Kati spoke, nodding as he mentioned his background. “In Valhalla, we do require that everyone learn at least the very basics of self defense, especially the healers. The custom harks back to Valhalla of old. My great grandmother was the Lead Healer of the pack and her Craft Sister, Raine, was attacked by a male a ways beyond the border. Twice. The first time she was incredibly lucky that Erani, my Great Grandmother, and her brother Cormalin were present along with the mare Obsidian. The three were able to drive the man off before he could fully harm Raine.”

Her tail flicked as she glanced at her sons, then back to Káti as she went on, in tame words, though her tone suggested far worse, “There was a war between Valhalla and Glaciem during that age. Shortly after the battle at Valhalla’s border, Raine was out gathering, and she never came back. Erani was able to find her, and it was clear the man had been back. And what had been done. After that, she wanted her healers to be trained to fight off an attacker. So that it has less chance of happening again.”

Her lips twitched in a small smile as Coran added his input, mood lightened by the boy’s offer.

Thoughtfully, she considered what ways she could use to test Káti in his skill as a healer. Finally, “As for your healer’s test, would you care to attend a small healer’s lesson in a fortnight?”
