Coming straight out of the healing huts made Ianthe feel like she really could learn alot from a place like this. Her intentions were not to stay long but maybe she could come back for some advanced lessons in healing. Ianthe was never one to bring pain to others and having to endure what she had only made her want to help others more so that no one would ever have to go through pain like that. Her own magic already revolved around healing so she knew that she could really make a difference in this world if she could hone and sharpen her own abilities. With some newfound confidence in herself Ianthe zipped her coat up and headed to the request board once more. She was feeling quite good about herself and she even had a little pep in her step. She told herself that she would take one more request before retiring for the night. All the moving around she had done pretty much digested her food well enough so that she was feeling sort of hungry once more. Thinking to herself that she needed to slow down on the food Ianthe ignored her body. Since it was still getting use to all this newfound freedom all she really wanted to do was eat and sleep but she wouldn’t let herself go like that. Ianthe would keep her health up, eat what she wanted but work out vigorously and take request whenever she could to keep her body in tip top shape. What good would she be to anyone else if she was just gonna get fat and lazy? Thinking to herself if she had to eat anything it would be a piece of fruit or vegetable. Walking towards the board she stopped upon reaching it, scanning it for request that would be a little less work to do.

There weren’t many requests left so she couldn’t be super choosy about what she picked. After a moment she plucked one off the board reading it to herself before making her way to the location indicated on the request sheet. From what she could understand someone was raising the dead and it was causing a lot of concerns, mostly because no one knew who was doing it. Ianthe smiled as this sounded like sort of a mystery, something that could really help the town and put everyone’s mind at ease. Excited she made her way to the location provided where she was met by a very handsome man who she can only assume was the man who placed the request up in the first place. “ Hello miss, you must be the one to help me with my little problem. As you probably have been reading the town has experienced some...Rising dead problems that need figuring out. No need to harm the person just find out who did it would be good enough. I would go myself but I have so much to do here that needs my immediate attention. The individual in question is quite small in stature, may be hard to miss.“ The man that these words belonged to were none other than Muhin Nataquin. He didn’t really wanna say his daddy didn’t allow him to go so he left her with that excuse. With the information Ianthe was given she quickly departed

Pulling her coat a little tighter around her and throwing the hood of the coat over her head, Ianthe shuddered a bit as she walked near the edge of Nanuq sea. The cold was really annoying but she fought through it. Ending up on a walkable path Ianthe spotted something from a distance. Moving ever closer to get a better look she realized it was a small figure and it looked as if it was casting magic. Ianthe was almost sure this is who she was looking for, but in order to know for sure she had to get much closer and so she did. Ianthe’s footsteps must have been light because she was close enough to be just behind what she now saw was a small boy, no younger than the age of eight or nine. She saw how happy he was as he raised skeletons from the frosty snow. The boy with his pure white hair spoke with a soft voice to the skeletons and played with them. It was a pure sight to see but a lonely one as well, if he had to make the dead his friends who knows what kind of things he went through. Lost in watching him Ianthe snapped to attention when she saw the skeletons drop and saw that the boy noticed her. His eyes grew wide with fear and he took off running. Ianthe chase after him and he didn’t get far as the deep snow tripped him up, causing him to fall. Luckily Ianthe was quick on her feet and caught the boy before he could hit the ground, picking him up in her arms. “Do not worry little one, I’m not here to hurt you.. “ Ianthe’s voice was calm and soothing as she hoped to calm the boy down. The boy began to cry heavy streams of tears and Ianthe set him back down, staying at his level. “ I-I dont have water or ice magic like the rest of the town. My magic is going to cause me to become an outcast. My mother and father won’t love me anymore. I’m too afraid to use it around people but I love my magic, they are my friends, they can be good, they have been being good..What if I get thrown in jail? What if people think I’m evil? “ The boy started to cry once more, his icy blue eyes watering up. Ianthe shook her head and wiped his face. “ I don’t think anyone is going to throw you in jail, you haven’t done anything wrong. Having a magic like yours does not make you evil and I’m sure people will like you just the same...Now let’s go get you home. “ The boy hesitant at first nodded his head and the two soon arrived at the boy’s place. The parents were very sweet and Ianthe thought she would have to do some convincing but no they accepted their child. Once the town got wind of it everyone was at ease and most had an audible “ aww “. Ianthe made her way back to Muhin who rewarded her and made mention of a party for the little mage. Ianthe was glad everything worked out but found herself worn out. Heading back to the inn she needed to figure out how much longer she would be staying in this town.
