Throughout the night, there had been clicks of raindrops against stone and bursts of light as lightning ignited the sky, a slow storm that halted all progress and gave reason for a lazy night. She'd been patient as her light kept her company through the endless hours of darkness. By morning, it had been reduced into nothing but peace and a thin layer of humidity that made venturing out to outer reaches of the desert to the sea almost miserable under the sun. Coyotes howled in the distance, giving more to wanting to stay near the oasis. The hours finally gave way to one thing: herbs. What did lie around near the oasis had already been gathered from the outskirts, whether she or one of the other healers had done so. They were becoming her life force, what was kind enough to be her friend when she wasn't busy spending time napping. What the Sun Physicans before her had taught her was miminal and almost useless, except for Andromeda. The idea makes her grow sick in the pits of her stomach, morphing into something bitter that she makes note to remove at the first chance. Stuffing whatever herbs she could fit within her mouth and neglecting the old time practice of working them into her hair, she deposits them along a section of limestone. Mint rolls between her teeth and grazes her to tongue to work the aftertaste of herbs from her mouth, giving her breath a slightly better scent compared to whatever previous scent haunted the orafice. "Healers! Your presence is requested as to learn of the local herbs and their uses." The raised call of her voice offers her a harsh effect, striking her vocal cords with a rough touch. She steps back and waits, sighing in annoyance at the lack of teachings given by those before her. OOC: Learning thread for local herbs throughout the Dragon's Throat.

Things had been going rather rough for me as of late, and unfortunately the majority of the misery was my own fault. I had put too many of my emotions into the relationships with certain members, or rather one particular member, of the herd. Yes, it was my own fault for investing said emotions even when I knew better than to do so. It was a harsh, self-taught lesson for putting too much hope and trust into someone so early. You would think, given my history, I would have learned my lesson by now. I should have learned by now, but for some reason I ended up burned every time. It was like I was addicted to the pain, addicted to the hollow, hopelessness that further pushed me to feel sorry for myself.
What was wrong with me? Why was I so desperate for the need of my own self pity? It wasn't for the sake of receiving mercy or pity from others, or at least I never felt that way. Yet here I lay in the sands, lightly pushing tiny little dunes with my muzzle back and forth as I thought. My nose was going to be rubbed raw by the time I figured out why I always seemed to act the way that I did, hell I'd sand it down to the bone before I would ever be able to solve that problem. But...what if that was my problem? Was I actually addicted to the pain? To the pity? Had I grown so used to the emotional baggage and turmoil in my youth that I felt dysfunctional without it now that I was fully grown. My auds pinned back with shame at the thought, tucking my legs even closer to my belly as I prayed that that was not the case. It was a shame, how uncomfortable I was now. I felt unable to turn to anyone, to talk to a friend that could tell me 'you're acting like an idiot.' or 'don't worry, it will get better.' Advice, comfort, or even a proper scolding when I needed it. I would take any of it right now, for the ability to always have someone to trust and turn to. I needed someone to fix me. I couldn't help myself. And there I was, continuing the same destructive cycle as I buried a little shallow into the sands. If it weren't for the barking order of a female's voice, I would have probably continued to stay there wallowing. A command for the healers, given by a voice that I didn't really recognize. With a large 'oomph', I pulled myself to my feet to follow the direction of the call. In retrospect, I owed the owner of that voice a favor for enabling me to get off my ass. To be honest, I almost forgot that I was a healer of these lands. Nothing had ever been needed of me, and the Sun Physician that I had only heard the name of seemed to have disappeared. Had that person returned? Crossing over the final dune, my eyes widened at the site of a slightly familiar looking vixen waiting for the healers to join. The opportunity to meet this very young mare had never represented itself, and I was a little surprised to see that she was the one waiting for us. Trotting up to the selection of herbs and plants, I found myself quite unfamiliar with most of them. Some of them smelled lovely, while a couple of others...I could have done without. Lifting my gaze to the young one, I dipped my muzzle towards her. "Good afternoon, I am Morrigan. Are we waiting on any others?" I asked quietly, glancing to my sides to see that I was the first to have joined her. I couldn't have been the only one expected to be here...Wasn't that large purple mare a healer too? Scarlet orbs scanned the horizon for any sign of the colorful draft. Verbal/Physical Abuse permitted, no permanently injuring or killing please.
