Chicken Soup
After returning from my night ride, I was exhausted. Cook prepared me some chicken soup and packed me off to bed. While the rest of you traveled on to the Hermitage, I took to my room in the House of the Serpent to recuperate. Cook took wonderful care of me, with the curative powers of her chicken soup. The Gorgons checked in on me regularly to see that I was improving. Now I am feeling much better and will join you on the journey to the Gypsy camp.
The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.

Wise decision Megan. If that Enchantress did not have me by the scruff of the neck, working me to the bone I would have joined you. I love chicken soup.
love Heather
Chicken soup for the body and for the soul--hope you are feeling better, Megan.
