Best healer
At the edge of the village, a flowery bed was made, it's white opposite of its rotten surrounding
Black withered tree stood still at her side, but her white fur outshines the darkness the tree spreads
It's white petal was beautiful and comfortable to sat on
The humakey waited, her back resting at the withered tree,
'Mom will come back' she muttered thinking the corpse she left at the healer house will miraculously walk its way to her
She waited for days
Clinging to herself feeling lonely when night came, missing the soft voice thats always waking her up, the touches that calmed her down, the smile that reassured her that everything will be alright
Tears poured down and she call what she misses
"Mooom" Her voice trembling and she repeated the same words like broken record
"Mom"
"Mom"
"Come back please"
"Mom"
It's lonely"
Minutes after she didn't stop, her eyes become swollen and no words left her mouth just baseless noise
She stayed like that swinging slowly from left to right murmuring some words as water fall from her eyes
.....
Remembering the days of her childhood, Hannah's body trembled,
She lifted her arm and saw three sets of hand waving at her
"Back off" She murmured
That dark day, where she hoped for good things without working herself to the limit to earn what she wishes for , of course what you wish won't came true if you just pray for it, you need to work hard or else your wish won't come true
Just like hers, that was the past now is different she looked at the beating magma on the man's chest, confident that she could pull this off
She could heal the guy,
Studying herbs when she was just a little child and learning non stop until she reached her age as of now, pushing her limit in every moment she could, just to surpass her idol
I did all that, I studied none stop, I gather experience, I failed a number of times killing some of my patient and hearing their family cry and blame me for it,
With all that, I think I could pull this off
She took a breath to calm herself and thought of the step she must take
She put herbs and water on the wound, tinker it with a variety of tools,
She did everything she learned from scrolls and books, she follow the step cleanly without putting the patient on risk
Sweat poured down, she can't see it but she could feel dripping down slowly going for her chin
'Just like Ma'am Madell would do' She pondered before slowly removing the magma like rock off the patients skin with her bare hands
Seeing the rock being lifted by Hannah and the burned body of the patient having no crack nor sudden flashes, every healer watching took a sigh of relief
She did it
Hannah look behind and said
"I did it"
"ooooh" A humakey fall to his knees and muttered "I thought i was gonna die"
While the healers glance at Hannah giving her a thumbs up before turning their attention elsewhere
After that everything turn back to normal, the tense atmosphere the moment before immediately vanish and everyone was quite
The humakey with a burned chest with the fur wide opened, stood up from the bed, he bow his head and said
"Thank you"
Before slowly walking his way downstairs
"I thought it was a hard disease to cure?" Mandell asked
Hannah patted the stone bed and answered Mandell
"It is"
"But it looks easy" Mandell said, he just saw Hannah's back so he didn't actually know what just happened
"That's because I'm the best"
She said confidently, patting the bed before changing its cover to a blood free one
Hannah's work was done, and just a little more hours and everyone also finished they all stretch their limbs like they just woken up
Before their eyes focused on Hannah
"Aaawessome!" A humakey yelled
"Leader amazing" Another humakey
"Hey leader, can you teach me?" A humakey said flustered
"Step aside" He swipe the blushing humakey away and said to Hannah
"Leader can you teach me how to be good please!!"
"Hahaha, we're gonna have a party" A humakey yelled taking Hannah's shoulder
"So how did you pull it off" She asked
"I just did it like what the book said" Hannah said with a bland expression not being swayed by the crowd nor the atmosphere
The humakey by Hannah's shoulder stop for a minute to process what she just heard before yelling with a crackle on her voice
"Did you hear that!, she learned it with books!"
A humakey by her side looked at Hannah with disbelief "I'm jelly"
"Don't be, she's a genius" A humakey said
Caught in their own world, mandell stood beside a stone bed in silent, he couldn't hear his voice all he could, is a girly shout almost breaking his ear every time it envelop the room
'So it really is a hard to heal' He pondered believing that Hannah have done something 'hard' that not anyone could do
He couldn't understand how hard it is and what they're feeling so he just watch trying not to smile as he slowly get caught in the party like atmosphere of the room
The party continues without even having any music, as the shout of everyone complementing Hannah, made a song close to rock music
"Did something good happen?" A voice asked, it wasn't loud, it's just casually asking for something, but with how everyone was having a good time yelling as their throat begged
How did they heard it, but they questioned got answered when they saw a child like humakey at the stairs with both her hand holding something that looks pretty heavy
"I got food for everyone, the healing house looks busy"
"It was busy, master" A humakey said
"Right, it feels like where on a battlefield" A different humakey said
Like ignoring what they just said Madell asked
"So what happened that made you all act....like that"
