Lungs of Centipede Part 2
33rd, Summer 515 Av





Savacea had left the two boiled lungs of the large centipede at Tokia's the day before, to dry out as they were damp. She returned this morning, removing them from the window sill and observing them. They were dried now, turning into a green color. She pulled on her gloves and mask, touching the organs with a wooden spoon. They fell apart in a ash like substance, indicating that they were now through with the drying process. Savacea smiled underneath her mask, as she poured the contents in a jar happily. Removing her mask she observed that the aroma of the ashes were a smoky scent, pale green in color now that it was all broken apart. Twisting on the lid of the jar, she shook it slightly, causing the ashes to disperse inside to form a powder substance.

Satisfied with her accomplishment, she brought the jar out front to hand over to Tokia. So the Myrian could place it in what ever hap-hazardous place she deemed fit, so she could sell the poison. "The Carrion Limb is finished Tokia." Savacea said with pride, as the Myrian took the jar with a nod, "Good work, sorry you had to come in on your off day to finish it up." The woman supplied a bit apologetically. Savacea shrugged her shoulders, she did not mind coming in even though she was off to finish a task she could not the night before, "It is of no concern, just happy to have it finished." Savacea said with a smile, Tokia grinned back and went to place the jar on the cluttered shelf.

Savacea slung her pack over her shoulder and left the cottage of Tokia's Tonics, to walk down to the beach and read awhile in the warm summer day. The fog was thinner then usual today, the clouds a bit brighter as well. It was a fine day for Black Rock, with the temperature being mild and not over bearing. Savacea figured that it would be a good day to be lazy on the beach, kicking back against a rock, and reading her Herbalism book to widen her knowledge on plants and their uses. Savacea quickened her step on the path, as she made her way to the Northern Docks where the Svefra lived.

Carrion Limb [Part 2 of Lungs of Centipede]

Herbs/Plants 1




Savacea found what appeared to be a comfortable spot, to catch some sun but still be in somewhat shade from the shadows casting down from the rocks. The breeze coming off of the ocean was laced with the aroma of seaweed, filling her nostrils with the decadent scent that she loved so well. It was a nice temperature down near the water, when the breeze would come from the ocean it carried a invigoration with it not found away from the expanse of water. Syna's rays cast down from the sky, penetrating the thin veil of fog, dancing off of the sapphire gem of water making it glimmer just like a jewel. Savacea sat down in the soft sand, wiggling slightly to make herself more comfortable, as the sand imprintd the memory of her rear into its pliable surface. Leaning her back against the rock and extending her legs out in front of her she cracked open her Herbalism book to began reading, to expand her knowledge on Herbs, poison and medicinal alike.


The first herb was called Acson. Savacea knew of the plant, as she was a poison crafter and had spotted it in the Black Mash with Loda some days back. Her leg had brushed up against the toxic plant, causing a skin irritation that only would spread when she rubbed or itched it. She read on still, even though she knew of the poison properties well enough, there may be something new to learn of the plant.


Acson

” The Acson plant is made up of erect green stems covered by glossy dark green leaves with white undersides and clusters of light blue to purple flowers shaped like a hood. Fresh leaves and stem are mildly poisonous to the touch resulting in a mild rash and are highly poisonous if infused into food or drink; causing extreme nausea and vomiting. Dried or fresh Acson can be chewed to help combat a variety of animal-based poisons but the taste has been compared to chewing on rotten feces. A syrup decoction is often made to help lighten the taste. It is slightly Uncommon but found in most Temperate areas, the harvest type is Perennial.”

Savacea knew most of what the book had to say about the plant, except for the syrup decoction that could be made to lighten the taste. She also did not realize that it tasted of feces when chewed, the thought made her nose scrunch up in disgust. She wondered how a syrup decoction could be made though, and made a mental note to ask Tokia at her job, Tokia's Tonics, to see if she knew how to. It was most likely that she did, as she was very skilled in her craft, the thought of learning something knew was exciting even if it was not solely poison based.

Herbs/Plants 2




The next herb after the Acson plant, was the Achiltu. This was an unknown plant to Savacea she had never heard of it before. She read on to expand her knowledge on the unknown plant, curious as to what it could be.


Azhiltu

”Azhiltu has maroon to purple flowers and green stalks that redden as they approach their roots. Its green leaves have reddish undersides. Dried and crushed Azhiltu leaf and petal mixtures are used as a tea to cure stomach pains. The flowers and seeds are more frequently crushed and then turned into bright, unfading maroon to purple dye for paints and clothing. Azhiltu seeds must be collected by drying the flowers over a sheet and periodically shaking the stalks to loosen the seeds. Azhiltu is used to stop bleeding when applied to a wound as a poultice or dried and taken internally as tea. It is uncommon and found in Hills and Mountains that are Temperate, the harvest type is Perennial for these plants.”



Savacea frowned slightly, she was not sure what she was reading and had to read it over again. This time it became a little more clear. The Azhiltu was a medicinal plant, that cured stomach pains when made into a tea and to also help stop bleeding when applied dried or made into a poultice, or even taken internally as a tea. The other use of the plant was a bit more fascinating as the seeds and flowers were typically crushed to be turned into a unfading dye in the colors of maroon to purple for paints and clothing. She remembered reading about a similar plant that could be used for dyes as well the last time she had read in the book. If she remembered correctly the herb was called Hommos, and could be used in many different ways. One being that it could be made into a deep blue dye.

Learning of the many used of plants seemed beneficial. To know more then one use of the plant could come in handy for the future, or perhaps not, either way Savacea was greedy for knowledge when it came to plants. The knowledge would be of great assistance when she would craft poisons and antidotes, that way she could learn one side and the other, to help and to poison, two sides of a coin in one plant.

Herbs/Plants 3



Reading further on into the book, she came across another herb that was not exactly known to her. However, it did seem to be quite the intriguing plant, as it was only used by poisoncrafters and appeared to be quite rare.




Berridon


” Berridon is a large plant with reddish stalks, bright green leaves with red ribs and dull purple berries and flowers. It is considered highly poisonous and only really harvested by poisoncrafters. It can also be used as an infusion to cause hallucinations. Macerated berridon oils have unique distinction of being a strong contact, injury or ingested poison that causes extreme bouts of nausea. Rarely found in Temperate locations, can be harvested Perennially.”




Savacea knew she would never come across the herb on Black Rock, as the plants around here were far and few between. Mostly what was found on Black Rock was Marsh Land type herbs, a few that could be found in the Jungles, and Mosses and vines seemed to be abundant as well as the temperate and moist area was perfect for them. Even so, to know of the plant was a blessing, in the possibility that she were to ever leave Black Rock and be in a place where the plants were, she would know what to look for. The Berridon plant was of intense interest to her, as it was rare which was always a nice thing to find, but also because it was solely for poison. The infusion could cause hallucinations and the macerated oils causes bouts of nausea as it was a strong toxic plant. Savacea filed it away mentally, hoping the information would one day come in handy.

Herbs/Plants 4



Moving on, she discovered another plant that was almost as intriguing as the Berridon. Although, it was not rare or solely used in poisoncrafting. Instead, it was more of a medicinal herb that was common enough to find.




Bon'mur


”Bon’mur is among the more durable of annuals. It has hairy oval-shaped leaves with blue flowers. It grows up to 18 inches in height. The leaves and roots are often chewed when suffering colds or fevers. Made into infusions, it can help heal injured or sore/dry eyes. Bon’mur is only used as macerated oils made from fresh leaves or in dried leaves as teas. It can also be used wake unconscious victims. Commonly found in plains and marshlands, can be harvested annually.”




“Finally a plant of the Marshlands!” Savacea thought with a smile, taking in the information like a greedy addict looking for their fix. The leaves and roots of the plant were for colds and fevers, often chewed to release the medicinal effects. The Bon'mur could also be made into an infusion that can heal injured or sore/dry eyes. Macerated oils made from the fresh or dread leaves in tea was used to wake unconscious victims. It was a medicinal herb, though it was still a great source of information. If she ever came across someone that needed help she would be able to find the plant in the Black Marsh. She was okay with making infusions, chewing the leaves and roots seemed simple enough, making tea did not seem to be that hard either. This information made her excited and she shut the book, placing it in her pack. Stretching her arms up in the air with a grunting noise of delight as they stretched deleciously.

Savacea peered up at the sun in the sky, noting that it was half-way in the sky, indicating that it was around noon time. “Time for a nap..” Savacea thought happily, as she leaned her head back into the shade of the rock, resting her crown on the cool hard surface. Shutting her eyes, she decided to be lazy on her off day today, and she slowly drifted off into a different world, the dream world. Letting the lullaby of the seagulls and waves sing her into a sweet slumber.
