Blackfeather Woods How to save a life

Potema paused besides her mother, blinking curiously at Burke's large belly. She dropped the mushrooms and shrugged the moss off of her back. "Is Burke pregnant?" She asked.

Her baby-blue eyes darted to every corner of the herb store, searching for the materials her mother needed. She found the ingredients swiftly, after long days of her mother giving her menial tasks of where everything was. The princess grabbed the wrapped bundles of yarrow, elderberry root and mustard seeds, tucked the bamboo stick under her chin and toddled back to her mother. She looked ridiculous as hell, but that didn't matter when someone's life was on the line.
