And to those that doubt or sit unsure, she waits and offers herself as cure.

Marshmallow root blankets the broken and starts the soothe. She will build a boundary for action against adversaries. A companion who mobilizes for the great comeback. A visionary for the thriving empire within. She is the elixir sought to profess the swallow.
