Spring brought more than just new growth to the gardens. It brought a letter that would change everything.
Aria was in the training center, working with three visiting healers on advanced restoration techniques, when a messenger arrived. Not from a neighboring territory, but from much farther away. The seal on the letter bore a symbol Aria did not immediately recognize.
"It is from the Continental Healers' Assembly," Ezra explained when she brought it to him. "They meet once every five years to discuss advances in healing practices across all territories. It is significant."
Aria broke the seal and read:
To Pack Healer Aria Moonwhisper of Moonvalley,
Your work in gift restoration has come to our attention through reports from multiple territories. The Continental Healers' Assembly formally invites you to present your techniques and research at our gathering this summer in the Central Territories.
