Iridescent Lagoon Searching for herbs under a blood moon

Seraphina watched as Titan did as he was instructed and crushed the pineapple weed in order to get a better sense of its scent. Afterwards, he took a small bundle and brought it to a clearing where he stored it in the snow. Apparently he planned on taking some back with him and this pleased Seraphina. The Faye woman chuckled at the boy's energetic questions. He sure was eager to learn and that was something Seraphina found admirable in a yearling. This boy could certainly grow up to be a great Healer one day."Well, chamomile usually flowers in the summer and grows in grasslands so it most likely won't be in this area, but perhaps it grows somewhere else in your land. You will know you have found it when you see a plant that has thin stems, white petals, and most distinctly, a large yellow middle between the petals. If you ever do find it, it is a very useful herb to keep in stock. It can be used to treat stomach aches, to soothe sore muscles, and to treat insomnia or help with anxiety problems.

You should give it to her after the birthing process is finished and it will help lessen the bleeding. In my pack, we would use these for ceremonial purposes as well. When you soak it in water, the scent becomes stronger so we would moisten the plant and then crush it in order to release the smell whenever we celebrated a wolf being given an official role." Seraphina smiled somberly as she remembered the many ceremonies she had shared with her pack mates. She had never had one of her own because she refused to take on any role except Guardian and year after year her father had refused to allow her to have that role because she was a female. With that thought, any home sickness that may have afflicted the run away Faye were quelled by her disgust with her father's sexist attitude. "Speech"
