There have been a number of injuries related to the arena. I know that the challenge is one that many can't resist and the payout is good. But some of the wounds are disturbing to see and hear about. For those who need it, I have experience in healing. There isn't much I can do for broken limbs, save for setting them. Severed limbs will be a bit difficult as well.

But it is better than going back in, wounded and ready to collapse. If you need help, please come to see me.

[She hesitates before typing the rest.]

If anyone is familiar with Arenan numbers or history, please contact me as well.

Where are you from?

How'd you put together they were numbers? Do you have a picture?

[widow_of_the_crag]

Westeros, but I don't think you have heard of it.

I recognized the symbols from a menu. They match up a little.

I do. One moment.

[It's a bit more easy this time, as she has already sent a picture to Jon as well. It shows her bracelet being held up to the light. The numbers are embedded in the amber, visible because of the light.]

[omniavincit]

No, I haven't. Where I come from most castles are ruins or relics. They give tours.

That was sharp. [ A pause as he looks over the photo. They do seem to like their coded jewelry here. ] Are you sure you want to go where this leads?

[widow_of_the_crag]

I sent this to my brother as well for him, so I had it on hand.

Why should I not want to follow it? It has some meaning. It's better to know than make some error at court by wearing something they might take offense to.

[omniavincit]

[ Ouch. ]

There are people who'd lock something like that in a drawer. Never think of it again.

I'll get to work.

[widow_of_the_crag]

[Sorry Billy.]

I suppose I am not most people. I haven't had very much to do or feel useful in while I'm here. I'm not magical or special like others. I want to at least do something or I'll go mad.

[omniavincit]

[ DOUBLE OUCH ]

You're keeping people alive, what's more important or useful than that?

[widow_of_the_crag]

I don't know how important healers are here. The Araneans seem to prefer warriors and I'm not one of those. I'm not magical either. I'm only myself.

[omniavincit]

What would you do, if you had magic?

[widow_of_the_crag]

I don't know. My mother told me that her grandmother was considered a witch and could predict the future. Maybe that? It could be useful?

[omniavincit]

I'd like to hear about her, when you have some time to spare.

And remember we're only here temporarily. Just because we have to abide by their values doesn't mean we have to adopt them.

Look at this place. Look at how they live. Why would you want that?

[widow_of_the_crag]

There isn't very much to tell. My mother said she could tell the future and that her prophecies came true, but it could be a legend. The family was from the East and there are a number of stories about their magic.

Wherever we go, I do not have many means of protection. This is something I can do.

I don't want to live completely as they do, but I don't want to live as I have before.

[omniavincit]

Telling the future seems like a lonely undertaking. Always waiting for the world to catch up.

No, I understand. [ It hurts to read the words. He can't protect Dolores, can't protect her. This place is shaping them, and there's nothing he can do about it. ] Be careful.

[widow_of_the_crag]

She seemed to enjoy being viewed as a witch. I think it might have been because it set people on edge. All I know of her though is from stories.

You as well. I know that you are strong in your own way, as I am.
