"Ready to move!?" Maria's shout came out with a lot of rough tones that made every single healer being gathered behind her stand taller than before. None of them had expected that she had so much force in everything she did.
Most of the whalers believed that they were weak. That they should be weak. That they had absolutely no chance to be strong enough to survive alone. Yet, that had all changed just recently.
Many of the larger families had immediately been pushing against the rumors and the proof brought that Maria, a healer with a healing beast, had managed to win battles in the academy tournaments.
The idea had started to affect the healers that worked under them. The healers that would work for very little pay because they were too weak to fight against the families. Too weak to demand more. Too weak to go off and work for themselves. The whalers were always taught that they ended protection.
