Look for a plant called, 'Plantain' which is similar to dandelion
but does not flower like it. Chew a very small amount of it, and place
as a poltrice on the sting. It's an old herbal remedy, and is very

It is that which is stronger than the strongest armour. It is that which is sharper than the sharpest blade. It is faith, forged from mercy and honor. Do that which is honorable and just, in the most compassionate way that you can, and it shall never fail you.
