The waterfall was not far from Bevroren, and it was a great place to find herbs. Since Athena had graced her with the title of Medisch, she had made it her daily task to practice more and more. She had always had some knowledge of herbs, she had taken it upon herself to study it so that if she was ever hurt, she could just slink off and take care of herself. Amalia hated feeling like she was a burden to others, so naturally, learning to heal herself was a big factor. But now it was not just for herself, it was for all of Bevroren as well. She didn't want to do anything to upset Athena, and strove to be the best that she could in her field to make her lover proud. Calling the silver queen that still made her cheeks blush, she couldn't believe that she had admitted her love to her as well! For so long she had adored the woman, but now the feeling was mutual. Plus, with the puppies coming soon she knew that she needed to make sure that she had enough herbs to care for them. They were going to be her children too, Athena had told her that she would be like a step-mother to them. Oh what lucky children, to have the love of three parents.
She made her way to the bottom of the falls, knowing that there was a patch of mint that liked to grow in the cold territory. She knew that it wasn't a vital herb, but it was something that she was low on in her personal stock. The sweet taste of the leaves had a lot more uses than wolves generally knew. They were great for indigestion, and helped protect the liver -- it kept its metabolic properties working well. Plus it helped with heart palpitations, working almost as a sedative. It was more of a calming factor than something to knock a wolf out with though. It was perfect to deal with headaches, something that she was sure they would have a lot of once the puppies were born. Letting out a small giggle she sniffed the air, checking for the distinctive smell. It wouldn't be long before all the mint died off, and it would be very useful for her to collect all of it now. But when she tested the air for it, there was a scent of a male there as well. She knew his pack scent, Isokan was an ally with Bevroren. Grinning, the girl rounded the corner and looked up at him. "Hello friend! What brings you here today?" She asked in her cheery voice, knowing that he wouldn't be an issue for her.
