Erin Clover Novels & Stories

His wolf is furious, not at Clover but at him. -You fool,- his wolf growls. -You've wasted years.- "Shut up," Milton mutters, but there's no conviction behind it. For the first time, doubt creeps in, unwelcome and uncomfortable. Outside, Clover slips away from the main paths, taking a hidden trail that winds through the oldest part of the Kirkwood forest. Here, ancient pines tower overhead, their branches creating a natural cathedral. The afternoon light filters through in dappled patterns, illuminating patches of wildflowers that grow in defiant clusters.

"Okay. Yes, I'm very close to the bloom of peonies." I hung up shortly and walked into the forest, a light, bitter wind circulating through the woods. I tried to remember the way to the peonies, walking on the path for a bit before turning and walking off it, stepping around the small shrubs growing on the slightly uneven terrain. I finally arrived at the bloom of pink flowers, the color of their petals nearly fluorescent pink even in the dark of the night. Eric stood beside a tree a few feet away, his map in his hand. "You got here pretty quickly," he said.

Before he can react, I stood up and ran for the herbs. I giggled when I heard a growl but I know he wouldn’t had let me go. I was looking for that special herbs, chervil, they’re known for their properties and are used for centuries. I found chervil, took them and cobnuts. I made an ointment by pounding them in stones.

The four of them made a supplement for Pernwél to take made of four different plants with beneficial properties. Evening Primrose oil, Chaste Tree Berry which is a dietary supplement for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle, infertility, and other conditions; Red Clover, that contains chemicals called phytoestrogens that are similar to the hormone estrogen and the last plant added to the mix was False Unicorn which contained chemicals that stimulate the uterus.

I don't even know if Cora told Rick about her younger brother, or even her family. Elder Ellie came forward. "Kindly explain the use of both plants to everyone in very simple terms" he requested. "Alright. Let me clarify something first," Elder Ellie began. "Although both plants look a bit identical, they are quite different when you touch them. Clovaris is a bit rough, while Blightweed is smooth when you touch them with your hands," Elder Ellie clarified. "Concerning their uses, Blightweed is used to prevent a miscarriage, while Clovaris induces miscarriage."
