Chapter 9: The Oruba Clan.
Amari wakes up in a room he doesn’t recognize. The room is filled with medical herbs and different kinds of voodoo dolls. He attempts to get up but fails to because of his damaged body.
’’You should rest for now; you won’t be able to move for some time. I gave you something that will cause your muscles to rest and recover properly.’’
An old lady is busy mixing some herbs together and working. She looks very old and has some grey hair and wears a lot of jewelry made of bones and animal skin. She walks around Amari with a bole that has smoke, and she seems to be praying or chanting.
’’Princess Safiya told me that you are able to heal at an exceptional rate and it seems to be true.’’
After the chanting she fetched some drinking medicine and offered it to Amari. He lifts his head and drinks it, and the drink tastes bitter but starts to heal him immediately. The scar on his arm doesn’t feel painful anymore, but he was still restricted from moving.
’’I suggest you to not move as much in the next two days or the medicine won’t work as sufficient as it should be.’’
’’...Thank...Thank you"
’’It’s my pleasure.’’
The lady leaves the room and Safiya enters looking excited, she looked nicer and neater than before, Amari almost didn’t recognize her until she started speaking.
’’You’re lucky that she gets to treat you. She is the best doctor in our clan. The clan calls her Mama Medi.’’
’’Mama Medi?’’
’’Yeah, I think it’s short for medicine, that’s what every kid around her assumes.’’
