Sacared Oak

Madam Toia sat in her office with one of her eldest Priestess with her discussing some matters when the door opened and in came in her other eldest, Amzu Rashra came in looking a little annoyed more than anything else. Toia noticed this but smiled and titled her head. "What has you so upset Amzu?" She asked while offering one of the open chairs to sit down in.

Amzu huffed as she sat down, "I spoke with Princess Zanna about the patient that came in the gate the other day. She offered a suggestion of asking the La'Shire for help and sending one of their doctors." Amzu was the one Priestess that didn't agree with Zanna and her what she considered a transgression in her marriage that lead to the spilt up of her and Helios. But, she was told to put that aside to help this raven who she knew very well.

"And you don't agree?" Toia asked.

"I do not." Amzu answered honestly, "We have never needed to call for help on any occasions. I do not see what we should here."

Toia nodded and turned to the other Priestess, Nely Ievru. "Nely, might be good to let Amzu in on what we were talking about."

Nely took a smile breath and spoke in a little quiet voice. "Yes, um the Scared Oak is currently struggling." She said which was a shock to Amzu. "We aren't in any danger, but the dispelling of the energy Mizuki brought back with our other guest is taking much more time and power than we had thought. It is making any healing we normally do much longer." She noted, "OH, but we aren't in any danger." She finished settling the nerves of her other Priestess.

"So how do you feel if we were to send for a doctor of the La'Shire?" Toia asked.

"Oh, I think that be a help for sure. Even a little bit of help will towards the Oak." Nely answered, "And we never had such access to the La'Shire before and I have heard that have made many advancements in healing. We could even build a bridge for us to go and learn as well." She added.

Toia nodded, "I agree as well, sorry Amzu you have been out voted this time. I will get a letter made and send it myself." She added leaning back in her chair.

Winreesa, or Reesa (I can't remember what I named my little white raven. So going to change it.) Walked slowly through the halls carrying the last pitcher of fresh cool water and clean cups for Shapley's room. She had already delivered the others. Although she was much slower in getting things to the rooms.

Like Eros she was light blind seeing auras. It wasn't that anyone was mean to her here in the Sacred Oak. It was that she herself worried. She often made mistakes and Messrs tripping over something or bumping into a chair and spilling what she was carrying.

Reesa often worried Madam Toia would tire of her constant repeated mistakes. Light hurt her eyes something awful so she kept them closed. Only about 12 years old she still had a lot of learning to do.

Pausing in front of his door she knocked lightly. Told he often had one of his friends or his sister sitting with him. "Excuse me...I've brought a pitcher of fresh drinking water and glasses..." she called softly.

In La'Shire Menda was sitting in the main office catching any messages to Sarah during her time off with Miki. And her newly returned mom and Uncle. Sara needed some time off anyways she was as bad as Trait working herself into the ground for the sake of others. Any emergency that needed Sarah would go to her. But Menda helped Merit and the others split Sara's patients while she took some much needed time for her family.

Zanna sat on the edge of Sharply's bed holding his hand in hers. "So yeah...Helios and I are no longer together." She said catching her hidden love on some more changes in the Unkindness. She explained how he worked with Zlo and convinced her to attempt to take control, but she knew deep own she wasn't fully on board.

Sharply took a breath, "You went through it didn'y you? He asked but knew the answer already. How does this affect your kids?

Zanna paused and was going to answer when she heard the voice at the door. "Hold that." She said and moved over to it and opened it up. She expected to see a maiden they were all helping out, she didn't expect to see another white raven. "Oh hello." She said with a touch of surprise in her voice.

Toia finished her request and rolled the paper and flicked her wrist a little bit and the paper was sent. Soon it should end up in front of Menda. "And sent." She noted.

Reese nodded politely. By the voice it was Princess Zanna who she'd heard from a distance but it was her first time actually meeting anyone of the royal family. "Hello Princess Zanna....I've brought fresh spring water..." the spring water here added in healing efforts when it was drank. But usually it was delivered much earlier in the day. "I'm sorry its late... "  Reesa was shy and nervous by nature. Before coming to the Scared Oak she was always met with scorn. A lesser because she was a white Raven.

Reesa felt awful she didn't know if it would be more impolite of her to keep her eyes closed before the Princess or open them, have the whites of her go red from the irritating light and have tears run down her face. Then there was Shapley....Reesa could do a bit more then see Aura's she could cleanse and heal through them although she was still learning....in fact she had very little control over it....except the difference between her eyes being open or closed. If open...she's accidentally manipulated a person's aura...there energy. Thankfully the person felt better after....but it was one of the reason's her mother insisted she go to the Scared Oak....the other and her mom told her to her face....was she was ashamed and embarrassed to be seen with an accursed White Raven....

Winreesa's brothers and sisters all had beautiful black feathers and hair....But as to Shapely if she opened her eyes...she could see there Aura's how healthy or sick they were by how bright or dim the Aura was....and even see where it was weakening due to illness, fatigue or injury. Her ability though wasn't a type of physical healing but Spiritual. It didn't mean she couldn't learn how to heal physical aliments but that as she learned her natural gifts healing ones spirit would be her strong suit, physical alimenta secondary. In this moment though the twelve year old found herself struggling with which would be the proper thing to do. She didn't wish to offend or upset Princess Zanna or Shapely.

Menda paused as energy swirled at the desk a message starting to come through that La'shire was making sure arrived quickly as it was addressed to the infirmary. As it slowly for Menda's liking took shape even if it was only a few heartbeats of time she lifted it and read the request for aid. Apple, Merit and the girls were all busy....Sarah was on leave and Tatitanna was caring for there code grey patients. Menda herself bounced between patients as needed without any save those from Twilios and kids.....

She tapped her lip then set a message to the girls on staff. Menda herself was going, but Shapley who needed help maybe a few others...Menda's message was simple the Scared Oak was asking for medical aid. Menda figured any nurses who were free or Doctors on staff besides her who were open this afternoon would could assist if they wanted. Especially since they wouldn't have the Magichines there and they'd want to ensure they gave the Scared Oak there best help they could.

Then hopped down and into her office putting together her travel medical bag while returning a message to Madam Toia. Letting her know at the very least that Menda herself...then she smiled as Ceil responded stating he'd aid her. And a couple of nurses would be happy to give aid. She knew Sarah would approve as would Trait and Silvi. But Menda sent a message to them as well recieving back. From both rulers. 'Of course. Help them as much as you can.'

She would have asked Prince Averie but the prince was busy with daily affairs of the castle and aiding in the efforts with Zlo. She had been told there was a Divine Shepherd somewhere in the castle. But when she asked...Tatiana mentioned meeting her and that she she was recovering still from her awakening having used a get amount of her strength to save Princess Yuuri. Menda wasn't worried though. She worked with talented doctors....

She was about to send it but paused....then added a simple Question for Madam Toia, she knew someone who welded Laiphon, life magic. She could if the Madam wished ask him to come with them and aid the. She asked...because many didn't understand Syaoran's magic believing he stole from life around him. It was the opposite. He could boost and restore life energy among other things. Menda asked out of concern for Shapley. Hoping his condition wasn't dire....but it was the first time the Scared Oak reached out for aid. Menda wanted to be certian she offered there friends and allies the best help they could. Then sent the message to Madam Toia.

Zanna stepped to the side to give Reesa space to come inside. She noted she still had her eyes closed. Her family having known Eros the only other white raven she remembered he at times needed to wear shades because of the light would bother him. Though he had been better lately she was curious why she wasn't wearing any.

Sharply sat up a little in the bed, It's all right. He sent to Reesa and then looked up to Zanna, You should try the water, best I've ever had. His injuries haven't slowed his sense of humor for the raven.

Zanna shook her head but smiled, "You need any help?" She asked Reesa.

Toia was still talking to her elder Pristess when the messaged from the La'Shire appeared on her desk. "Hm, did not expect such a quick response." She noted taking the note and unfolding it and reading it though. Everything seemed in order and looks like they were glad to help until bottom when she asked about brining in someone else. "Hmmm, they know someone who can perform Laiphon." She said.

Amzu perked up hearing that, "That could...be a benefit to bring in." She noted while first against the idea but hearing that started to swing her around.

Toia agreed, "But, it is a male." She said and they had rules about that, "He will need to be chaperoned then." She said looking back towards Amzu, "If you are up to it since they will be visiting your patients first you will be in charge of them." She watched the raveness take a deep breath, their last attempt with Prince Horace felt ended in a failure. Amzu nodded in agreement. "All right, I will approve this." She said and sending back a message of thank you and it would be all right to bring the one with life magic.

Reesa stepped in slowly careful to not bump into Zanna hearing Shapley say it was alright and the best water he had ever had made her smile a bit.

After stepping in hearing Zanna's question she shook her head no a little. "No, I'll be alright...I've had to learn how to do things like this with my eyes closed on really bright days. Thank you for your kind offer though Princess Zanna." Lying was highly frowned upon. She hadn't seen anyone wearing shades and had no idea about them. Winreesa could learn a lot from Eros but she'd never met him.

She walked over to the stand beside the bed and carefully began to switch it out. "Do you need anything? She asked sometimes with patients who had been there a while a pillow needed changed out or they needed one more to prop up a sore limb. If Zanna asked about shades she'd be honest. She didn't know about them. "I don't mean to be rude keeping my eyes closed the...light is too bright today."

Menda received the return message and the approval of bringing Syao. She smiled Ceil would be with her and the three female nurses at all times but they'd likely ask for Syao's help in other area's. Zyna was spending the day with the girls of Twilios. Syao was doing better with his mating heat thanks to the tonic he needed finishing its brewing and setting period. Since it wasn't your typical heat he didn't carry the scent of being in heat thankfully though. Menda sent the request for aid to Syao who responded he'd meet them at the portal.

Menda smiled and made her way there just to be scooped up and plopped on Ceil's shoulder which made her laugh. "Aye.You big oaf, I can't help you folks with longer legs out pace me Don'cha know." But her words were in good fun.

"I know. Cleo is having a girls day with Frau and Meeka. I've let her know I'm stepping out for a bit. So it's you, me as the doctors....looks like Valencia, Coral and Yuffie for our nurses? Anyone else?"

"Syao will be coming with us too Don'cha know." She answered. " I've sent word ta all the other doctors on staff and told them to meet us at the portal if they can come. Being our only male doctor, I do need to be warning ya. You'll need an escort or to remain with us. It be because you're a male in a Coven of Priestess Don'cha know."

"That's fine. Even if we're because of my heritage. I'm aware of the damage brought about because of my family. I suppose being half Kijin...I don't take such matters too personal. Trust is something you earn."

Syao contacted Zyna letting his mate and soon to be wife know he was stepping into the Unkindness to aid them. Then made his way to the connecting portal.

The Golden Bird of Paradise didn't know he'd be chaperones but accept it gracefully never the less. He'd have no idea where to go to help without a guide showing him the way anyways. He smiled though as he saw the group. Menda would have been hopping along a bit behind them had Ceil not offered his shoulder.

Menda finished penning a note in return letting Toia know they would be arriving soon and that Syao agreed to help them. She sent it off as the small group paused at the portal to give anyone else coming a few minutes to get there.

Zanna hearing that and looking around a moment. "I can fix that." She said about the light and swung her hand and suddenly closed the blinds of the room and she closed the door leaving them in a much darker room.

Shaprly blinked as it all happened so fast. Guess that is one way. He noted and wondered why Zanna was working so hard to help the Maiden. He wondered maybe she was over doing it to make up for past sins when she didn't need to at the moment.

Toia nodded, "I'll send word to Mizuki she is out in the Unkindness to meet the doctors and bring them here. Please send word to Rao as well." She said and also pulled out another paper to send to the Guards at the portal they will be expecting La'Shire guest very soon

Winreesa heard the curtains being quickly pulled shut. The brightness against her eyelids dimmed so much she slowly opened her eyes as if afraid she'd have to quickly shut them again. But the brightness of the room dimmed so much she was able to open them. Blinking a couple of times she smiled looking at Zanna. "Thank you Princess Zanna." She said seeing her, her aura which was warm but held this sorrow, sadness to it.

Winreesa looked to Shapely next and gasped...his aura...."I'm sorry....you have been through so much.....there's so much...fatigue...pain illness....trauma..." she whispered reaching out as if to try to soothe what she saw but pulled her hand back....she shouldn't. She wouldn't heal his physical ailments just heal his soul...ease his suffering and many confused that sudden relief with being cured. She wasn't curing them so much as helping them feel better have the strength to hold on longer....unless the ailments were all spiritual then she would be healing them.

The group was waiting a few moments. "Five more minutes then we'll be stepping through the portal don'cha know." Menda said cheerfully.

Syaoran smiled shaking his head. "Thanks for assisting Menda. "

Ceil shook his head. "Its no trouble. She often catches a ride on my shoulder."

Zanna smiled and nodded and glad to hear the change in Winreesa voice now that she could open her eyes. But, that was taken away when she heard what was going on with Sharply's aura she was shocked and then a little angry. He had been open a little from what he went through, but she knew he was holding back. He always did. "Sharply Deerir what have you been through?" She said placing her hands on her hips.

Sharply winced, never a good sign when someone you love uses your full name like that. "Zanna, its...not something I think you should hear. He sent to them, it was clear he was trying to keep a strong face, this was Sharply the sarcastic, headstrong, and loveable raven of the Unkindness. He just wasn't ready to share all he went through.

Mizuki landed at the portal and took a deep breath. "Made it." She said having to travel quickly as she got word that there would be guests coming to visit the Coven and help them out.
