K'zhumi took a deep breath, finally satisfied that all was in readiness. Going to the tent flap and sticking her head out she saw K'rahto,"Brother I need to concentrate. No one is to come in without good reason please." Withdrawing back inside Zhumi gave a stern warning to the youngster kneeling by K'luha's head not to move as the lines she was about to draw could not be disturbed.
Taking up a small knife, Zhumi began to draw an elaborate symbol in the sand around her patient, completely encircling her. Nearly a bell later Zhumi was finally satisfied by her work. Kneeling on Luha's injured side, she used the knife to cut free the dirty clothing, exposing the injured hip. Air sucked through the healer's teeth in a hiss as she saw the injury for the first time, and she gave a brief prayer to Thaliak for the wisdom to complete this healing.Â
Picking up a small, soft bristled brush Zhumi dipped it in ceremonial paints and began drawing a second symbol on the injured hip. Wielding the brush lightly, barely making contact with the skin so as to not cause any more pain. Completing the symbols, Zhumi reached for a small vial,holding it to K'luha's lips, "Drink this, it is very strong medicine. Don't fight it and it will help you be outside the pain. It will feel like you are floating."
Picking up her tome, Zhumi concentrated and formed a link between the symbols on the pages, the hip, and lastly, the ground. Then, as she shaped her aether and became unaware of anything happening around her, the three symbols began to glow.
