Initiation into a Healer (Part 9)

The ringing sound increased in intensity, echoing in the Shishya's mind, causing her vision to spin. She took a step into the room when the ringing sound disappeared, the scent of herbs giving her mental clarity.

The Shishya then heard the sounds of bangles jingling as she saw the shaman beckon for her to come closer. Each action of the shaman was suffused with grace and authority, something only birthed in beings who stood in power for decades since birth.

All the women moving about in the room finished their tasks, placing many ingredients in a vat that they placed next to the shaman. They then bored holes into its lid, placing another smaller vat above, the lids of the two facing each other. Once they were done, the shaman waved her hand, motioning for them to leave. The women bowed and left.
