Are there healer in my world?
All water mages have the ability to check health, clean simple wounds and stop bleeding. They also have a wide range of talents.
In my book ‘The Crystal Spotter’, Magister Ferron saves the young Glandera from an earthquake by taking her through a portal to a safe place. He then calls for the healers. Magistra Nereida comes to the rescue with her acolyte Melody:
Nereida stepped through the portal with her acolyte Melody. The Archmage’s robe fell lightly over her curves, lending her a tender, motherly presence.
They bowed their heads in greeting and knelt right next to the sleeping woman. Nereida gently placed her hand on Glandera’s, then the colour of her irises changed. Stunned, she shook her head as she analysed the messenger substances in her blood. “This woman is anxious, confused and full of worries. In this state, one straw is enough to break the camel’s back.” A brief look was enough, and her student examined her too.
Ferron ran his fingers through his short hair. “I was afraid of it.”
Nereida squatted down cross-legged on the floor and placed her hands in her lap. “How do you know her?”
“Glandera works in my mine and I noticed her energies.”
“You really found an Incantatrix with earth powers?” the Archmage inquired, shaking her head in disbelief.
“She’s a wild mage?” Melody spoke, her eyes widening.
Nereida nodded calmly and held her index finger in front of her lips. “That’s wonderful news, Magister Ferron, but in this state she’s a danger to us all.”
“That’s correct,” he agreed. “Can you balance Glandera’s disposition?”
“Certainly, but the effect is only temporary as long as the cause is not remedied.” She nodded to her acolyte, and Melody’s eye colour changed from blue to green as she began to work magic.
“I will take care of her, but I must proceed with caution. She is afraid of our kind.”
Nereida’s eyebrows shot upwards. “Then she doesn’t even know she’s a mage herself?” Sympathetically she looked at Glandera. “You have a long road ahead of you. Firstly, she has to realise what powers lie dormant within her.”
A smile stole onto his lips. “I’m already working on that. This event was unforeseeable.”
“You are not to blame, but in this fragile state of mind, Glandera needs the constant supervision of an earth mage. Do you want to take on even more responsibility? You can’t take her with you on your travels.”
“As a member of the Mage Academy, she would have support,” Ferron murmured thoughtfully and turned his face in the direction of Chattenberg. His jaw tightened. As the monument was magically shielded from the outside world, Glandera could not destroy anything here. But it was just as impossible for him to analyse the surroundings.
Melody let go of her hand and nodded to her Magistra. The Archmage checked her acolyte’s work and smiled with satisfaction.
