Healing Hall

Duw wondered as she walked to the healing hall why it was even in existence, surely if everyone could heal what was the use of it? as she approached she could see the large building it had two white double doors one an entrance and one an exit, the walls were white and bland like everywhere else however inside was another story one area had children of her age all resting on large beanbags or something similar, it was obvious they were hurt as one had her leg bent at an odd angle, one had a large discoloration most likely a bruise, and the area was colorful and had lots of pictures, the adult area had lots of large comfy chairs and adults with complex looking injuries as well, an older lady with long silver hair waved her over and introduced herself as Elder healer Silvia, Duw posed the question to her immediately to which she laughed,

"Your a sharp little one ain't ya? most are here a while before they think of that, well hon you know that you and all kids your age can use light magic, but it's not permanent, after about age 14 unless your core has developed and awoken you'll lose that power, it's a gift for the young from Divine lady Hoggan," she replied smiling,

Duw remembered from history that Divine Lady Frances Hoggan was one of the first to use magic and eventually ascended to become a god with the four others, Samtan the lord of flame, Fforind the master of waves, Ghast the ruler of the skies, and Gerian the grounded.

Elder Silvia cleared up the misconception Duw had held for a long time, not everyone could use healing magic, thinking back she realized that everyone she had seen using healing magic who wasn't a child had signs of core awakening such as the white skin on the fingers ect. looking now she saw with more clarity, such as the children in the corner were too young to use strong healing magic and so their injuries were too serious for them to heal, but Duw was excited, this is what she really wanted to do, she learned fast, using spells correctly and also learning how to use just enough magic so she didn't exhaust herself, she followed along behind Silvia and other staff for hours, eventually she started healing under supervision and impressed the staff with her understanding, control, and her much bigger than normal magic reserve.

It wasn't until she was almost home that the excitement wore off and she realized she had stood out again, she began cursing her young excitable body and it's inability to think properly.

But she soon discovered it was not easy to lay low, in the next few months her performance at school, her outstanding healing at the hall (she couldn't hold back at all), and her skyrocketing grades made her well known in town, mostly everyone knew about her from the healing hall.

It was one innocuous day when she was getting a few things from town for her mother when a stranger called her into a shop saying they needed help, although she was a bit cautious there were many people crowded round, so she went in, there were two uniformed officers there with a angry looking man sat between them cuffed and collared, the collar prevented the use of magic and was only held by law enforcement officers, one officer walked over to her,

"sorry to ask you young lady, but we are worried that he won't last, you are staff at the healing hall so we were hoping you could help?" and he led her to a man on the floor, he was covered in blood and had a knife in his side, although she hadn't seen someone in such a bad way she was confident she could help, as the officer thought she wasn't coping and began to apologize she bent down put a hand oh his head then his mouth, felt his neck, she then pulled the knife out, pressed her hand onto the wound and began to cast.
