Chapter 7

Arietta woke to the sound of a gathering in the village's Herb-coverd Hearth and arrived
arrived just in time to find Rhuean and Armitage beginning defender training! She took
her place among the circle of students and begin to follow their instructions and quick and
dextrous use of bandages and poultices. She was so dextrous, could pluck any string, and
as nimble as any dancer, so she knew this should go well!

Suddenly, the pair through down a dwarf bleeding out in front of her. "Alright", Rhuean said,
"Let's see you bandage the applicant before he's a goner!"

Easy! Arietta thought...this was going to...OH MY GODS...where were her bandages? Where did
she places the bandages! She had JUST had them. Were they in her sack? Under her boat?
Searching searching....why did she carry so many instruments and weapons... and now she
was making a disorganized mess of everything! "Oh, huh," Armitage said, "I think the dwarf is
actually going to bleed out." Arietta had to do something, did she already pull those 10
tins of fruit out of her sack? There was a poultice, she'd improvide and bandage with a.."Nope!"
Rhuean said, "A poultice is not a bandage." Why were poultices so much easier to find
than bandages!? There was now blood everywhere!

SO MUCH DWARF BLOOD! "We've got this, Arietta, why don't you go... kill some mages.."


And so Arietta returned to her hut, and sunk into the dedication and peace of her War Dance and
Battle song, hoping the weeks ahead would go better.
