Taji was the happiest of all women.
She not only led the tribe she loved who was made up of family and friends, but worked the Alchemy she loved.

Of all her children, it was her youngest child and only son by Elf, Taj that took the most interest in his mother's work.

"What are you working on, now, Mama." Young Taj, once asked.
Taji smiled at her little boy.
The only of her children with curly, ginger colored hair. "Where did you come from, love one?" Taji would often smile. The girls, mostly grown and the eldest girls by she and Elf were now wed. Her daughter Allie, named after her late father was also wed and had two children, Tashi and now little Hashi. Since they all loved the Science and Research, it was Taj who was interested in the Alchemy.
How he longed for the day to prepare his own potions.
But for now, Taj had to be contend gathering herbs for his Mama and learning as he watched his Mama, Papa and older sisters.
But then came that sad day that changed all their lives.
