Myrrh (noun): the aromatic oleoresin of a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora, which grow in dry, stony soil. When people harvest myrrh, they wound the trees repeatedly to bleed them of the gum. It darkens deeply as it ages, and white streaks emerge.
Branch Clue: Ekaterina
The year was 1529.
Katherine Cahill strolled down the bank that flanked the right bank of the river Nile. How wonderful and delightfully curious Egypt was! Of course the journey was long, but the sights made it all worthwhile.
But to plan.
Myrrh, myrrh, myrrh. Myrrh.
Yes, the clue that, if possible, she was fond of. Naturally, each clue was important, but myrrh seemed so much of a survivor.
She shielded her eyes from the midday sun and someone handed her a canteen.
Katherine, make a plan, she told herself.
Compose a poem driven with knowledge and logic; yet somehow make it so only the brightest would understand. The brightest being the descendants of her. The not as bright bulbs being the future of Thomas, her traitorous coward of a brother.
It's not my fault, she thought bitterly. It had been the time to leave.
But is he alive?
He would be downright lucky to escape death, but if not, no matter. She was done with sentimental attachments. She could clearly see the big picture, and knew who posed the greatest threat.
Luke.
She calmly assessed the situation and politely handed back the now –empty canteen.
Katherine had high hopes, but she would be wounded too.
Strong, but helpless.
And she would be scarred more as she aged. Just like a Myrrh.
