The Angel of RedTarn's Landfall

�m�r�JŴ�RTL�PĦ�

I grew up in a home surrounded by love I wasn�t a spoiled child however I was given tasks according to what I was able to handle at my age schooling was one I loved it studied to the point id oft times not even venture out of the Hall I d forget to eat and then my older brother would steal my scrolls and not give them back until I had partaken a goodly meal

Days blended into hands to years as I matured in knowledge and physical. her father a great Warrior and Administrator of His holding brought her material to make dresses which she did He didn�t want her just handed things in life Her brother she doted on and when news came of His demise she watched her father age overnight as she lit the funeral pyre

I asked of my mother and learned she had been an exotic slave that he had loved very much His own father didn�t approve of the union and he ran off with her they lived for a year she died in childbirth to me she watched her great battle scarred father actually shed a tear over the memory He touched my cheek and said "you are her likeness Amara."

To my astonishment I learned she was not the mother of my brother His mother had been a scribe who was kidnapped and tortured for information she had been given to copy for an Ubar of another home

Not long after that many FM started coming around I was cold and distant I didn�t wish to leave my fathers hold I felt he needed me as I helped run it while he was out on his trips However one of green caste caught my eye he was quiet and intelligent and after many chaperoned walks we were FCed in a small ceremony

I began then to read his scrolls studying the causes and effects of different herbs applying some of what I had read to my own salves learning the body parts and functions and was taught to do suturing eventually I did assist him in his surgeries until my pregnancy was so far I could no longer

On a brisk day my twin sons were born such a joy as I watched them grow into rosy cheeked youngsters all was bliss till the troops came home and with them the bazi plague my FC died of it after trying to treat and isolate those that had it my twins were next to enter the city of dust oh how I mourned the losses

I went back to fathers house and watched his servants run off one by one his injuries from battle had him consumed with infection that had been left go to long I did my best I held him made him as comfortable as I could A fat greasy merchant came into play insisting I was to be His woman I cried at my fathers side begged him for the first time in my life to help me he made me a slave to him and the fat mans eyes were turned to the next wealthy daughter or widow he could find

My father started to fill out the manumission papers to give me back my status but died before they could be signed or witnessed His last week I packed a trunk with his sword and the rest of the wealth that was not stolen or pilfered off and after watching my fathers body turn to ash I left

I took the trunk and a wagon traveling away from towns� villages then going into a couple after being run out of them I stashed my wealth in a small cave wandering as far as she could only to return at night to sleep in the cave

Finally I came to port Victoria and was taken in by a kindly FW whom I told my story

Moving from home to home over the next seven years I begged to be allowed to continue my studies and did so under Kuruk then ThunderWolf then Shaheen

I acquired my healers� assistant yet longed to do more and once being granted my Freedom I sought and was granted permission to once again be allowed to study under ThunderWolf while residing in the RTL

I have always loved helping people be it with knowledge or research or anything that I was asked to do I feel that by becoming a PHY I would be even better able to help those about me I can not only answer questions but mend their bodies and ease their minds I want to make a difference To become someone that can be relied on for helping with the injuries and birthing and such that they will need. I chose this field because I will always be needed until all illness is erased all wars all ways of pain and suffering I can still help those that need it

I have fallen in love again maybe I too at last will have the home I so desire to be able to look after and tend a Man again in wifely ways recently I had an interesting surprise, My brother Taiko whom I had believed long dead had tracked me to Red Tarns Landfall such Joy at seeing Him such ache that I had to tell Him of father s demise no longer was I totally alone No longer did I need to depend so much on myself for things I once again had my beloved brother with me
