In the dulling light of dusk, Eldritch had been in a meditative state, uttering softly in Icelandic - prayers for the Gods, that the missing would be returned home.
As soon as she was finishing, Jaxxon's howl pierced the air - a summons for help, almost immediately followed by the wafting tang of blood and sour note of infection.

Cursing under her breath, the Gydja hastily closed her prayer, immediately moving to her gardens to pluck several herbs into another rabbit skin - Fireweed, Osha Root, Elder and Mallow Blossoms, Gentian Root, Yarrow-

These would have to do for now, she could not bring the entire garden in one trip!

Eldritch gathered them all into the rabbit skin, plucking the makeshift pouch into her teeth as she raced down the slopes to get to the newly arrived party.
The willowy wraith eventually saw Abaddon and Magnolia rushing to meet her, but she barely even slowed, skirting them both with nimble legs - from here, the tang was strong enough to follow.

She assumed Abaddon and Magnolia would run with her to rejoin the group - she had a feeling she might need all of their help soon enough in getting Saga to her den for further aid!

The Witch continued on regardless, only beginning to slow when she saw the group - and a very, very bloody Saga.
She wished to speed faster, but she could not further risk her herbs, instead sufficing to slow into a loping trot until she finally got close enough to do her job - "Make room. I must inspect every injury. I can work here for now, but she will need moved to my den sooner rather than later."
