Who: Diana Croft and Alex McManus What: Collecting herbs When: May 25th Where: The forest nearby
Diana had spent her days trying, and failing, to contact anyone that would be able to help figure out the rift. It wasn’t that there weren’t enough spirits here. The problem was shifting through the crowd of spirits to find one that was capable of helping, and one that wouldn’t drive her as mad as it had some of the others here. She kept her attempts short and sweet. All the better to keep her safe. All the better to practice the skills. All the better to turn up absolutely nothing. All the same, her previous mentors has emphasized how important it was not to test those limits just yet. She was too new, too green to press forward. No matter how frustrating, Diana had little to do other than help out at the Band-Aid Station.
At least now, there was a more concrete way to help. Sort of. When aid was called for, Diana of course leap at the chance. It wouldn’t fix anything but at least it would soothe a few of the afflicted. Zanna had a point about not going alone. Even with Achak, it was probably best that she bring someone else along… and knowing how others viewed the coven, it made sense to seek out one of their own for a little extra assistance.
“Ready to go Alex?”
Knowing that Alex would need herbs as well, he was the natural choice. Plus, it couldn’t hurt to get to know the other witch a little better. Achak apparently approved of this plan, as he sat next to Diana, nearly at eye level with her, visible to all for the time being.
