"See these herbs? Which are for fever, which for wounds?"
"Fever. Wounds. Like this?" I mimic her movements with a single small herb in my palm.
No, not like that. You're holding it wrong. Here, let me show you again. Corrects Rattech's hand positioning
I get it now. The leaf tip points towards you. Its almost like you're offering the medicine to a spirit rather than using it on a wound.
Exactly, Rattech. It's all about respect and gratitude. We're not just using these herbs, we're honoring the spirits that give us this healing power.
So why did you choose me? Out of all the other rats why me?
pauses for a moment, looking at Rattech earnestly Because you have potential, Rattech. And potential needs to be nurtured.
If I am being honest I chose you. I had heard that you were going out to find a worthy apprentice so I came out here to find you hoping you would pick me.
smiles warmly Well, Rattech, I'm glad you took the initiative to find me. Together, we can become a powerful team. Gently pats Rattech's shoulder
stands tall and proud Thank you master.
suddenly freezes, eyes widening Rattech, did you hear that?
grips Rattech's arm tightly Something is coming... Quick, hide behind those rocks!
we both hide behind the rocks
Stay quiet, Rattech. Don't make a sound. Presses herself against the rocks, peeking out to survey the surroundings
<As Katara and Rattech peek out from behind the rocks, they see a pack of vicious wolves approaching, ready to attack.>
pulls my spear from my back and grabs my shield. Stands in front of my master. As the wolves jump I poke them in the side and stab them as they fall to the ground. Once the 4th wolf fell I jumped back and let my master handle the last one.
admiring Rattech's quick reflexes and combat skills Impressive, Rattech! Your instincts are impeccable.
But master, why did you choose me? I know that while I am strong I may not be the smartest?
takes a deep breath, placing a hand on Rattech's shoulder Rattech, being strong-willed and determined is just as important as intelligence.
pauses for a moment, thinking You know, Rattech, there's something I haven't told you yet. Raises an eyebrow I can bend water.
How impressive. It's cute and I love it. But i actually saw some water near the river earlier while I was out here. It seems that there may have been a gigantic snake.
eyes widen in surprise A gigantic snake? Are you sure, Rattech? That sounds dangerous! We need to investigate and make sure everyone's safe.
Yes Master I lead her to the spot and as we get closer we see the largest Anaconda anyone has ever seen
quickly takes out her waterbending abilities, creating a powerful wave to knock the snake off balance Stay back, Rattech!
