(Flashback) Visiting the Medical Library

[Lunia]

TimeStamp: Summer, Day 37, 500. 10:00 a.m. Meli had a fever while grandmother was away. Mother told the girls that she and Meli needed to go the Opal Temple. Lunia was only seven and with no grandmother Vina to take care of her mother, Heidi needed to take Lunia with them. She remembers holding her caring mothers warm hand as Heidi carried Meli on her hip, walking through town to the Opal Temple. Meli was sick and mother was no healer, she was worried. As they reached the Temple Lunia complained that she didn’t want to go with them to see the healers, she wanted to read. “There are no books around here,”Her mother had told her. “There’s the Medical Library,” Lunia had explained, “It has lots of books.” She put childish emphasis on the ‘lots’. Her mother sighed, but left the seven year old in the room with books, she was carefully watched by Miss Iva Suna, the librarian and researcher. Lunia had wandered the rows and rows of books until she spotted some leather-bound pages coated in gold. She stood on her tip-toes and pulled the book out from between the others. It was a medical journal written by a healer on every case she ever worked on. The Konti was young, but experienced and highly respected. ‘I felt Rak’kelis power flow through me as I worked to heal the man’s gash. The wild boar’s tusk ripped deep into his dark blue flesh and he was bleeding out. He is going to die; I thought to myself, he’s going to die and there’s nothing I can do about it. But he didn’t die. Goddess Rak’keli helped me heal him, and as I felt his wound heal below my fingers and watched as his face regained color and listened as his breath evened, I knew I was blessed.’ Lunia knew she was blessed too, she always felt a stronger connection to Rak’keli than she did to Avalis or Laviku. She felt her power as she healed a small butterfly’s wing and when she was close to the injured or sick. Reading this journal Lunia knew what she was destined to be, what she was destined to do. She smiled at the book and placed it back into it place and picked another. ‘Angelica is useful in the treatment of fevers, colds, coughs and other stomach disorders. Angelica should not be taken in large quantities by pregnant women.’ She looked at a few more books before her mother and sister arrived to whisk her away. Though all the books had useful information she couldn’t use any of it. She was only a child. The diary though, of the Konti female, is the one that touched her inside. It made her realize her place in life and realize how great Rak’keli really is.
