Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Cattleya walked way to the Grandfather Tree, Calelha watched in silent adoration for her amazing sister. The life was going to start now, they are going to be adults form now on. It is a happy day for them both and Calelha could not believe they were finally here.

The Grandfather Tree loomed over Calelha in all its glory. Its branches like arms ushering her in to begin. It brought on a since of peace and comfort to Calelha that she did not think she could have without her sister. Obediently she quietly made her way in a different direction then her sister had taken to the base of the tree.

As she walked she remembered how she really was not a big fan of being alone. Sure she was not the life of any get together but she loved to be around others and watch the events take place. Her sister on the other hand was normal the life of the gathering but that made the watching all the more fun; watch her sister have fun was more then enough fun for Calelha. And of course her sister always pulled her into some silly dance that would end with them both in a pile of laughter.

Taking a deep breath, Calelha approached the roots in a low and respectful bow; just they way her mother had trained her. "Grandfather Tree you have called and I am ready. Thank you for blessing this humble noul with whatever gift you deemed fight." she said once again like her mother has trained her. In her mind she add "But I hope for one in particular." Wincing she hoped the Grandfather tree could not read minds though because how rude to hope for anything other then what the Grandfather Tree gave to her.

"Ok...Ok your find the Grandfather Tree knows your heart even better then your sister." She thought to clam herself. I helped a lot to think of the Great Tree like her sister. As she waited she kept that at the forefront of her mind.

The world around Calelha fizzles into a blur, closing her eye to keep form being dizzy Calelha knows the Grandfather Tree has started her on her quest. When she opens her eyes again though she find herself in the Homewood again. "Strange I do not remember coming back." she voices to herself unsure of where is at in the Homewood.

A sound catches her attention to the left her. "Hello?" she calls to the sound. It was not often a predators wondered in to the Homewood but she needed to make herself known so they would at the very least show themselves so she could know how to react. The bushes rustles again and Calelha decides to approach slowly to see what might be the cause of the movement. As she presses her face into the bushes she comes muzzle to muzzle with a foal. "OH my Great Tree!" she says in surprise at her find. The foal stumbles and falls out of the bushes and right next to her.

Looking at the foal Calelha can instantly tell that the poor doe is sick. "Oh you poor thing what has happened?" She questions but the foal only holds up her leg and says nothing. Looking down at the foals leg, Calelha can see that the poor thing has some kind of green bad smelling wound. Sweat and dirt coats the foal's fur and Calelha instantly knows what she needs to do.

"Ok sweety you stay here I have a plan." She was not sure if the foal would stay but she did know something that would help. "Thank the Great Tree I have an obsession with mushrooms." She said as she races off in seaech of the mushroom she needed. She had been studying mushrooms most of her life. And one mushroom came clear to her mind, chaga, she just had to find it. It was not long before she spotted a tree with the black and amber colored spore she needed. Rising up on her hind hoofs she kicked some of the spores down and wrapped it in a fallen leaf.

On her run back Calelha she spots a watery pond that seems to have moss growing on it and grabs some of that for the wound. "Ok you got what you need." It did not take long before she was back where the foal was still laying. Laying her findings down by the foal she set to work. "Ok Sweety you need to eat this." she placed the small chuck of sport into the foals mouth as she explains that it will help with inflammation. The foal simply chews on what is in her mouth. Calelha was sure the foal did not much care what was being said but it helped Calelha remain claim and clear headed so she continued to explain. "And this is Sphagnum Moss it will help pull out the infection and keep out other things that might harm your wound."

Finishing the dressing and stratified with the over all look Calelha steps back. The foal has fallen asleep which Calelha can only hope is because the spores are helping. It would be a long night Calelha knew and since there was no moving the foal Calelha would stay with the foal until a vivify noul could be found.
