I haven't got a review for a while, so please; will someone drop me a line?
The Diary of Alvyne Vierahealer
How does that sound? A Reena needs some sort of second name, and I was searching. It was actually my trainer, Zara, who suggested Vierahealer, and I'm just trying it out. I don't know if it sounds that great, but it is okay for now. If I don't like it, I'll change it.
Lord Janzyn tells me that there have been reports of Viera being killed, and it looks like something was eating them. Sounds promising, but I don't know if I want to look into it myself. I should ask Balthier to check it out. Fran needs to find herself somewhere to be safe if the Viera killing continues. I don't want her to get eaten. To think I once wanted to eat her myself!
Well, if Viera in the Wood start showing up hurt or dead, I'll move mountains to see them avenged, Reena or no Reena. Well, if it is a Reena male, I could have Myko tame it I suppose. There were a few records of Reena who did not obey Humes loyally, but it was super-rare and I don't think if I found one of my kind it would be like that. It would probably be normal like me.
Myko tells me the first week of spring, there's going to be a festival called the New Life Festival. Sounds fun. Viera singing, that's what I'm waiting for! I will join them and sing as a Reena. Reena love to sing! It's what our voices are suited for! And there will be lots of food! Myko says there isn't much for a child to do, but I think it will be awesome!
I'm learning how to help deliver Viera kits. It looks hard. You have to be careful or you could hurt the Viera and/or her kit. Zara says that in spring I'll get my chance to work. She'll be helping too, to make sure I don't screw up. If I screw up on a live Viera, it could mean her death. I'm also learning how to cast healing spells besides Cure and Esuna for the regular Viera. Esuna is nice, but there are better spells.
There is a lot of demand for healers, especially since the Viera are multiplying like the rabbits they are. Kits get sick or injured often, and they need curing. And not a lot of Viera train to be healers. Most who want to help their village become either wood-warders or salve-makers. Mjrn certainly would be a decent wood-warder if she bothers to train. Her sisters apparently were very good before Fran left and Jote became the leader. Even their mother was supposedly one of the finest wood-warders of all time. Now the lead wood-warder in Eruyt Village is dumb ol' Rael. Zara says that the salve-makers should figure out something to give Rael before she kills herself. She's a fine wood-warder, but otherwise she's crazy.
And I do mean crazy! This Rael Viera is not like most Viera. She's bisexual, for one thing. Jote told me that's almost as bad as being lesbian. She said that means somebody who likes both boys and girls in the way Mjrn likes Janzyn, or how Lena likes Chea. I still can't get the two of them out of my mind. I think I'm going to learn how to make that Salve of Forgetting Jote told me about, forbidden or not! Rael spends a lot of time with a male Viera named Rush, but she sometimes will run off with one of the other wood-warders.
There are other reasons I can't stand Rael too. She absolutely refuses my help when she gets hurt. She totally ignores me and begs Zara to heal her, even when Zara is very busy and I'm not doing anything. She despises me with a passion. She says I won't heal anybody, I'll just hurt them worse. Being best friends with Myko doesn't help either. Rael hates Myko so much, and nobody knows why!
Zara just called for me. I'll write again later!
