The Jewess shakes her head. "I am truly at the start of my studies; and it goes very slowly for me, despite my mortal practice before. I was embraced in to the clan which practices sorcery, but my heart still yearns for healing. I fear my teacher will withhold any healing arts from me until I m...

The Jewess shakes her head in response. "You obviously can tell more about me from appearance alone than I about you. But I am far from being a "mighty" Koldun, if that indeed is what I am. "As far as why I practice the "mortal arts," it is because it is what I have don...

Turning to the innkeeper, the Jewess gently smiles her thanks. "If Rodica is comfortable with you leaving me here alone with her, please feel free to return to your home. I will be able to find my way back easily." Turning back to the woman before her, the healer tries to reassure her. &qu...

Her ears attuned for any rustling or other unexplained noises from the woods, and her mental attention continuing to listen for her familiar, the healer searches the old woman's face while she awaits introductions to be made.

The creatures are leaving her. They are moving to the west. Shall I try to follow them, or stay with the the mother or the daughter. Do you believe the mother and daughter to be safe, then? If so, do what you can to follow the creatures and let me know if they threaten anything. You can not tell wh...

Shall I find a way to go to her, Dara? Does she need help of any kind? Smiling towards the innkeeper, the Jewess shakes her head and rises. "I am sorry to keep you waiting. Your description of the Old Mother's cottage only raises my anticipation of meeting a fellow healer. Shall we let your wi...

The healer nods at this. "My thanks, good sir. "And the Old Mother? Would it be possible to call on her now, instead of having her come here?" As she is addressing the innkeeper, the Jewess processes what Dara is describing and then continues her contact with her familiar, A bell? In ...

The Jewess bows her head in thanks. "Again, I appreciate the warning about staying on the roads. I would not want to inadvertently offend." Eyes briefly unfocusing, she silently asks Dara, Did you see a girl just leave here? If so, please watch over her safety, and should I come out later,...

The healer winces as the slap reverberates through out the room. Palming a soothing balm, she discretely slips it to the girl when she approaches and offers her apology. As the girl departs, Alina makes note of the direction she heads in the yard; then turns her attention back to the room. "My ...

Smiling, Alína nods her thanks, then gently addresses the women at the table. "I truly am a stranger to these parts, passing through on my way elsewhere. I have heard no rumors of Lunca or any of these lands being unsafe. Are you able to enlighten me as to any danger, so I may better prepare my...

Frowning slightly at the daughter's response, and her parents' attempt to shut her down, Alína waits for a better opportunity to pursue it. "Lunca," the Jewess repeats with a small nod, setting it to memory. "No, I know not L-rd Dâmbovița," she continues. "I truly am a stran...

The Jewess looks up, a small smile of friendliness upon her face. "I have been traveling for a while and welcome a fire and some company. A mug of hot tea and some conversation would be nice, for a start.

"Tell me, what is this place where I have found myself?"

Cain, Dara. But the only way to learn what is frightening them is to try to meet them. Find a safe perch where you can observe what is happening, if you will. I will start at what appears to be the village inn. Watching her familiar fly off, the Jewess then turns towards the inn and makes her way i...

The Jewess nods, then rises and reenters the wagon to collect her bow, her quiver of arrows, and her satchel with her medical supplies and statuettes. Once again outside, she makes note of the camp's locale, and then heads cautiously towards the village in the direction her tutor indicated. Once a f...

The healer casts her eyes downward; feeling as if she would be blushing if she had the excess blood to do so. "I can not answer, Master. As far as I know, I have never dealt with a curse before. But I have studied kabbalah and other lore which talks about them." Raising her eyes up, she lo...

Alína absorbs this news with interest. "I have helped with many a difficult pregnancy and birthing, Master Mircea. Is this the matter in which you believe I may be of help? Or is there something else I have yet to learn?"

a dark and noxious aftertaste to the otherwise vibrant life aura of the forest. Alina inspects each tree and animal with Soulsight , and can find nothing wrong. But still there is a sense that below that, or across it, or... some aspect of the area in a dimension she is not used to considering on i...

Her eyes opening and her senses heightened, Alína feels the unease radiating from her familiar. Erev tov, Dara. What is it you sense? Let me get my bearings and make my salutations to the camp, then I will grab my bow and hunt my break fast with you. Arising from her seated position, the Jewess make...

You do not resist them, you sate them. You hunt with me, you find ways to feed the hunger that do not break your traditions. I fear the day the hunger is for something not so easily found. Consider your company now. I hope you find nothing to terrible as to stir you to action. But if you do... I ca...

While waiting for her tutor to go on, the healer continued her silent discussion with her familiar. Comfort I have for you. But of insight, there can be none. None from me. All of this is anathama to me. But I will perch by you and help keep you strong as you try not to drown in this cursed blood. T...
