THE Dark one
My past was a mystery. I had no notion of my family, friends, or
anything. I only knew of the brutality I endured from the jagged
scar that ran down my face as I looked at my wavering reflection on the
surface of the freezing water. When I was found, the völva Ashilda dragged
me to her hut in the forest, my wounds so severe that I could not walk. The
cuts, bruises, and broken ribs hurt more than I dared to admit. Infected cuts
lashed across my back begging for help in their healing journey. As well as
a few painful, missing fingernails.
I had no memory of my name. She took to calling me ‘Girl’ whenever
she wanted to order me around since I couldn’t offer her anything else for
her to call me. She often told me that the true path to power was through
servitude, which I half believed to be a trick to get me to stay with her. If I
learned to serve, I would appreciate it when others served me and at the
time, it made sense.
Around Ashilda, I grew jealous of her wealth as she hung jewelry and
precious stones around her home. Seeresses might live in the middle of
nowhere, but inside of their homes were more gold and money than the
King of England could dream of. So much work went into her skills and I
learned all about it through my everyday life with her. She mentored me in
potion making, midwifery, and healing skills. Not only did she teach me
about the physical aspect, but she also awakened my spirit. From visions to
dreams of the future, I became at ease with the gods speaking through me.
Many of the herbs she had me pick were either poisonous or would help
her visions. Pennyroyal was good for avoiding pregnancy or getting rid of
one, but ingesting too much would inevitably kill you.
Garlic is great for
inflamed wounds as long as it is boiled and the wound would then be
soaked in the residual water. Even eating it will help with stomach
problems. Lavender and Rosemary are also perfect to manage pain and
induce sleep. We would steep them for a while in boiling water and strain
the flowers. She taught me the right mixtures, and how to prepare and heat
them up. It was a skill that I wanted to learn as fast as I could.
