Catherine woke to find that it was past sunrise maybe 2 candles after. She heard a knock on her door and went to answer it. At the door she found a maid who said "Your mother said to wake you and tell you to bath and meet her in the dining hall for breakfast." "Ok I will, thank you" Catherine said as she went to take her bath. She got dressed and then went to the mirror and sat down in front of it. She combed her light brown hair, she put on a light hazel necklace that matched the color of her eyes.
Catherine went down to the dining room and said hello to her parents and brother. She sat down to a breakfast of grits, biscuits, fruits, fruit juices, and a Yamani drink called coffee which was very strong a little too strong for Catherine's taste. Catherine finished her food and asked "Father may I go into town today" "Well sure I guess why" asked Raoul. "Oh no real reason I just have not seen it in a while" said Catherine. Ok be back before lunch she heard her mother say as she left the dining room.
Catherine walked down rode that lead out of the Goldenlake castle. She walked to the bakers and bought 1 silver nobles worth of sweet-buns, than talked with the merchants passing through. Then she made a wrong turn and ended up at the healer's hut. The Healer called to her saying "you I can see you have the gift will you come help me heal we have a lot of people with fever please come" said the healer Rodly. He was a Bazhir man from the Bloody Hawk tribe. "Sure but I know not any healing magic" Catherine said . "It is ok I will talk you through it, now hurry up please Lady Catherine" said Rodly.
Catherine went inside the hut and heard the man say "now go inside yourself and find your fire now pull it out to your finger tips and the slowly let it go into her body and think about curing her fever ok." Catherine did as so was told and pulled her gift up and let it flow into the other woman's body and lowered her fever. Catherine healed two more people and then they all had gone. Rodly said to her "good job have you thought of becoming a healer" "No I just got back from the convent and besides all I did was cure a couple of fevers" said Catherine. "Most new healers feel really weak after just one easy fever heal and have to sit down right away" said Rodly. "Oh look at the time I really have to go but thank you" replied Catherine. "Comeback any time if you want to learn" Rodly told her.
Catherine walked back down the street towards her house leaving crumbs of bread for the birds who lined up behind her as she walked down the street eating the food she left for them. When she was walking and hit a box. Inside the box she heard a very soft purring noise, she looked inside to find a small Siamese cat only the size of her palm it looked to be a just born baby female with white paws and white tipped ears. Catherine picked the little thing up and brought it home.
As Catherine walked through the door she saw her father coming down the stairs. When he saw her, he asked "What in Mithros is that." "A cat father" Catherine replied "Well I know it is a bloody cat but why did you have it" her father said. "Well I found it in the village" Catherine told her father. "Well I ain't taking care of it" Raoul said. "I know that da I will take care of her" replied Catherine. "Ok, also we ride to Corus in two days so start getting ready because we will be there for a while" her father told her. "Ok, I will be ready" Catherine said and then walked into the kitchen to get some food for her cat.
When Catherine entered the kitchen she found the cook, who was a large man, making lunch for the family when she asked him for milk, some bread, and a fish for her cat. He gave it to her and said "now don't let your cat think she can come and take whatever she wants from my kitchen I don't want spoiled animals." "Ok" she promised the cook and went upstairs.
