Maven worked quickly and sufficiently, he sat Sigrid down on a bench and told her to sit still.
"Tauriel, pour half a teaspoon of will o' the wisp extract into that bowl." I obeyed pouring the instructed amount of glowing gold liquid into the bowl. Maven takes it and pours it into Sigrid's mouth. I once had to take will o' the wisp extract, it's sweet and with a bitter aftertaste. On to the next step. Maven looks at me sternly, watching to make sure I don't mess up.
"Tauriel, listen carefully" I listen as instructed "Get a pinch of lapis philosophorum, a handful of Wu Ben, and a chunk of Findias." I read the labels on each pot and place them all on his cutting board. "Now, place them all in the porcelain bowl and pestle." He takes it from me and grinds it all into a fine powder, this too goes down Sigrid's throat.
Maven tells me to cover my nose and mouth, and I watch as he blows a kind of cyan smoke through an odd contraption onto Sigrid. Maven then takes a vial of jade green liquid, shakes it up and rubs a bit onto Sigrid's forehead. Finally he gives her amanita muscaria (a type of healer's mushroom) and tells her to eat it.
"Tauriel!" Sigrid's hand flies to her forehead "I'm so sorry for being so unkind!" I put my hand on her arm.
"You're back!" I laugh and we sit that way for a bit, talking and laughing.
She's going to make it.
