Description Sara has always had an interest in healing and herbs, and after Salvia and Evira disapeared she has done everything she can to help Thalia.

Part 1 - The Discovery
While helping collect herbs for Thalia, Sara realises how much a healer must know about their home and grasps that Aurelia has provided them with a haven. Decides she wants to learn more about the plants that are in their home not just because Aurelia has provided them for her followers but because she wants to help her family as much as possible.

Part 2 - Beginning of the Road
After the most recent raid, while she is recovering in the ruins in camp under Thalia's care she finally plucks up the courage to ask if she can help full time, not just alongside her gladiator duties. Will Thalia agree???


I don't know what herbs and things are used in the empires so I did some reseach on the wildflowers I know to be in Europe/France and found ones which were listed on warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Medici… and found what they are 'used' (or at least what they used to be used for) with humans. I attempted to find plants that would be growing in the marshy shadyness of shadow empire but some such as Tormentil are likely to favour other habitats.
