Huh? ... Well, if you insist...

[ The Raisin Crow flies up to plop the jar into Alastor's hand. BRC tries to wiggle the top off... it takes a few tries... but then... pop!

A golden swirl envelops her, and she gasps...

She lays on the cold, hard ground, her strength gone. Fresh jelly pours out of her wound, her arm lost to the Jellyworm she barely defeated. It seems this victory will be short-lived... her vision begins to fade, but she can't go! The village needs her! What will happen to everyone she cares for?

The crows around her caw in despair, knowing they can do nothing for her, not even ease her pain. Her eyes begin to close... but then, she gasps. The bleeding has halted, and her strength is returning...?

There beside her, his wrapped staff glowing, is a kind figure, who kneels beside her and brushes her hair out of her face.

"Easy now... you're going to be okay."

Black Raisin Cookie struggles for words. "You... you saved me! Is that... magic?"

"Yes. I'm afraid I can't do anything for your arm, it's..."

"No, no, this is more than enough. I owe you my life. Who... are you?"

His smile becomes a little... sad. "I'm afraid... that's a mystery for even myself. I don't know who I am, or where I came from... all I knew is, that I saw you hurt, and... I had to help."

BRC struggles to get to her feet, though the mysterious Cookie keeps insisting she rests. "If you have nowhere to go... you can come to my village. You will be more than welcome."

"Such a generous offer! I would be honored... but only after you catch your breath, all right?"

"V-Very well... and, if you have no name of your own... Perhaps we can call you..." ]


... H-Healer... Cookie...?
