+ | One day, Ama took a three-hour journey to visit the monastery in [[Cho-Lung-Se]]. She gained an audience with the great healer [[Pagdzin tulku]] by bribing the porter with some honey-[[bread]]. She asked for the healer's help in curing a male relative with a sleeping sickness, and she felt clever about changing the gender of the sufferer to make sure she didn't give anything away about the holy woman. After lying further about the circumstances, Ama asked for a medicine to take back to her village. The healer mixed together a powder and when he handed it over, the healer admonished Ama for being untruthful with him. |
The next evening, Ama hurried to the cave with the holy woman and her daughter. She was excited to deliver the medicine to the woman so she could wake her daughter, and Ama hoped they could be friends. When she arrived at the cave, it was empty aside from the sleeping girl and Ama entertained the idea of waking the girl herself and surprising the holy woman. Before she could entertain the idea further, Ama heard someone outside and she hid behind a rock out of guilt. She initially felt wrong for spying, but she witnessed a terrible scene. The young girl was waking up and the mother had brewed a sleeping potion. The young girl fought the mother and tried to stay awake, [[Pantalaimon|the girl's dæmon]] battling [[Marisa Coulter's dæmon|the mother's dæmon]], but the mother slapped her daughter and forced the potion down her throat. Soon, the young girl was asleep again and the woman trimmed her hair and let her dæmon rip apart a bat. It was all very strange to Ama, and as soon as the woman fell asleep, Ama crept out of the cave and ran away. Once back at her village, she consulted with her own dæmon about what to do about the deceitful woman, and they agreed to go back when the woman wasn't there and use the medicine to wake the girl.<ref name="TAS4">{{ref|book|TAS|4}}</ref> |
