Blackfeather Woods How to save a life

The young princess squeaked with distress when Burke did not vomit, but instead looked worst. What was going on? Was Burke really, truly sick? Mama had told her about how not every patient could be saved, and when it all seems lost, you have to let them go. Potema blinked up at her mother, trying to read her reaction. She looked annoyed, but determined as always. Burke had one last chance...

Her ears perked up at the sound of her mother's snapped command. Reading the urgent tone in her voice, Potema ran fast to the herb store, grabbing the nearest bundle of poppy seeds before running back to her mother, panting. She dropped the poppy seeds by Meldresi, then looked up at her mother, waiting for her next command.
