Amanda considered herself to have been over her friend’s death, to have moved on and put it behind her, but the day of Georgina’s Birthday had brought it all back to her, so she had taken a day off from the incessant training and exercise and decided to have a day to herself, a day to remember her friend. She had walked through the valley for hours, wandering aimlessly about, going nowhere really until she ended up in the clearing that she had come to know so well.

It was empty as she stepped out into the open air from beneath the branches of the forest, quiet and serene, just as she hoped it would be. Scattered about the clearing there was evidence of her training regime, but she wasn’t taking much notice of these things at the moment, she registered they were there, but her eyes just slid past them, not really taking anything in.

As she scanned the scene before her she slipped into seeing the world about her through the veil of Essentia and saw the life forms all about her, going about their daily routine.

She didn’t really notice she had focused in on something at first, and that she was heading towards it, it was as if her instinct was guiding her. She didn’t recognise it immediately, but as she knelt down in the grass next to a tree she realised she was looking at the barely alive form of a field mouse, slowly dying in the shade from a nasty looking wound on its side.

It could have been caused by anything, a stray cat, an owl, or some other hunter of mice, but it had somehow escaped and now it lay here, dying in the grass, its life energy slowly ebbing away.

Amanda reached down and gently picked the tiny furry woodland creature up in the palm of her hand and sat down on the nearby tree stump and looked down at it. She could feel its gasping breath as it strained to pull more air into its tiny lungs, trying to fight the slow approach of its own death.

Amanda placed her other hand over the mouse, cupping it gently between her palms, and concentrated on knitting its wounds, healing its body and bringing it back to complete health.

She felt the energy she was tapping into rush through her body and into the mouse and within a couple of seconds, the mouse was no longer struggling for breath, it was suddenly in the peak of health and very much alive.

She opened her hands and the mouse sat there absolutely still in her palm, alive but clearly a little stunned and scared from what had just happened.

Amanda looked down at it, her mind blank for a moment as she held the tiny rodent in front of her. But then some thoughts came to her quite suddenly, as she remembered what day it was again.

The thought was clear and concise, and one laden with guilt. Why couldn’t she have cured
