"Okay. You can't say I didn't try," he replied, going back to the stew. He was kind of glad he didn't have to give it up.

Artemis chuckles and picks up a book with a herb on the cover.

Bradyn wasn't interested. He didn't really like to read, so he didn't ask what the book was about. Probably has something to do with herbs.

Artemis flipped through the pages quickly. He asks without looking up, "What are your mother's symptoms? "

Oh? Maybe it was a healer's book, then.

"She's very weak. Has been for...a long time. She's also been tired a lot. It didn't used to be like that, she used to want to get out of bed and tend to her garden, but she can't anymore. Doesn't have the energy or strength. I'm not sure she can even move anymore."

Artemis nods and quickly flip through the book. He stops at a page and show it to him. "I belive your mother might have this but sadly. The cure is incomplete,"

(You can think of the sickness)

(I think it would be interesting if it were named Bloodfire or Dryditch fever xD)

Bradyn stares at the page. The longer he stared at it, the less it felt like he understood. "Incomplete? Why? How? Is there a way to complete it?"

(Dryditch fever is a good one)

Artemis says, "Well the cure is missing one ingredient and I don't have access to it since it in the Kelatha Kingdom. You see the problem here,"

(Ok ok Dryditch fever it is)

"Well, then I do. So then we leave as soon as possible and then we get the ingredient you need and then we heal mother."

Artemis nods and says, "Alright but how do we hide my ears?"
