Berries, Berries, And Look, More Berries!

There had been talk of some of Mortis and Halo’s yearlings wishing to learn more about healing and Andy is always ready and willing to help. The crisp fall day finds her inside one of the caves that have been set aside for lessons where she is swiftly setting up. On a large wooden table, she has arranged several clusters of different herbs that she has borrowed from the healer’s stores while thick, plush furs have been arranged for them to sit on.

The various berries have yet to broken down for their specific uses and are perfect for the plan she has in mind. Once the bundles of alder buckthorn with its bright red berries, blackberries, elderberries, ginseng root with its stem and berries still attached, and juniper berries are all laid out for her students to see, Andy moves to the entrance of the cave and issues a call for her students to gather with the promise to learn woven into her words.

With that done, she moves back into her classroom, settling in front of her table, she greets each youth as they enter. Once they are all seated and waiting, the lavender woman will call their attention to her as she says, “Welcome! Who is ready to learn about different berries and what they are all used for?” Brows arch as Andy scans their faces, a warm, welcoming smile pulling at her lips as she tries to see if they are excited for this lesson.
