Zen Master Thina

...Thina drags herself from her knees, where she dropped after she finished Jabba the Hut off, and she wipes her palms across her tear stained face and rubs them together, pressing her hands palm out towards the burning trees. Water erupts from her hands to douse the flames and as she moves from tree to tree and bush to bush you can hear her softly sobbing: "It's ok, my friends, I'm here to save you. I'll save you. I promise. I promise, Elion"...

Thina kneels in the grass, rocking back and forth animatedly in a reflexive, self-soothing rhythm. A strange and otherworldly calm gently settles upon her. The smell of new grass and the sound of songbirds fill her mind with childlike wonder and curiosity, and her rocking slows to a gentle stop. Her pain fades away entirely. The feeling of spinning, of being unable to stop whirling like some dervish cursed to eternal dizziness, ceases entirely. A soft voice fills her entire being, and Thina starts tingling, all over, as she realizes she is in the presence of a Goddess. Eostre.

You are being addressed by Eostre of the Dawn, while spinning slowly in a calming, cosmic display of stars and galaxies and the interminable march of time settles upon you like a heavy blanket warmed at the hearth. She communicates with you, in a series of visions and emotions that ease your mind and spirit. Somewhere behind it all, the lilting melody of regrowth strains the edge of hearing. You know the song well; the mushrooms and mosses in your underground home taught it to you many years ago. It revitalises you, and recharges your flagging reserves, as you realize she is coming to give you encouragement; that she knows of the struggle you are encountering, and that she appreciates it, and blesses it, and you. You get a vision of what could be; a vision of a new Druid Grove and enclave, full of and surrounded by enormous trees of all kinds and scented with wildflowers that want nothing more than to grow here, with you and your folks. The scent fills your nostrils, and your mind.

Sarathina Jaelryn Nar gains the benefits of the Eostre's Embrace spell, and learns to cast it with Eostre's tutelage. Thina can cast it twice per day on up to 2 creatures she can see, as a storyline award. It does not take up spell slots, it is an ability. If the target does not wish to garner these benefits, they can contest the cocoon with a DC20 Cha saving throw.
