The iridescent fingers of the moon would splash lightly within the circle of her wagons, the fire would sputter and hiss as a blend of herbs was tossed within its awaiting flames. The fragrance was light and airy. It had over the past few days carefully blended with Kaeli in mind. Around the fire sat small blue bowls filled with water altered with large stones. The white feather
Ba 'atar had given me hung over the wafting scent, it was in its last stages of purification.
I sat by the fire, with my eyes closed, chanting softly, calling forth various gaurdians and elements, the vibration would echoed around the circle of wagons, I always kept ours this way, each one sat within a specific spot in a specific direction, even in my personal area everything had its place and purpose. In my hand lay made out of tem wood a small circle that I had carved. I did not lack for supplies given all I had stashed over the turnings during my travels, the trade post I owned with my sister also had much hidden away. It was a wealth I didn't speak of or reveal using only what I needed from it for the tribe or for things I or the family needed, simply because I had always lived my life simply, but when I worked as a physician outside of the plains, well, dwellers put much stock in material things, but it was to my benefit now. Because they sure pay well for things that we would think rather simple. Got to love the way those dwellers think. And of course given how much time I spent among them, I am not some uneducated plainsmen, I know thier language and ways.
The wood had been placed in water and sat in the light of the moons over night, in the water had been placed various crushed flower petals and herbs that I felt were in tune with the young healer. When it was still soft I carefully carved into it upon it were the three moons watching over the plains, blades of grass whispered softly in the winds or so it appeared. Within the blades of grass carved lie symbols of good luck, The Ubar had requested a talisman of good luck. In the center of the wood was a figure of a woman, down her form were carved additional symbols, ones to prevent self doubt and to acquire knowledge. As it was now dry, I sat allowing that which was beyond me to guide me, to hear and see those that have gone on before them, in this state I was able to create images I normally could not, vibrant colors of yellow, red,blue, green, black and brown adorned the wood, each color had a specific energy and meaning, I chose them on purpose. The feather the Ubar gave me was removed from its warm embrance and was then attached to the left side of it along with beads of light blue. This to done with great purpose and reason, everything I did in life has meaning, regardless of how it seems or does not seem.

It would take a few ahns to finish this, and when it was done I would clear my mind once more and slide thru it leather tightly braided and added various colored beads to it to allow for it to catch the light and captivate the eye. Carefully I would wrap it in a soft tanned hide and wrap a piece of leather about it, adorning it with strips of black and purple. This alone would allow her to know who made it, the feather would allow her to know from who it was from. I then walked to where the young healer was staying and she lay it outside of her wagon along with a basket of various herbs, healing salves and teas.
I then sent a slave to the back wagons, "Let the Ubar know Kaelis talisman is done and delivered to her, " I then returned to my own wagons once more to work on things that required my attention. Hopefully, it was up to his standards and she would like it.
