The master of the house was called Ferran and he devoted more time to the business, and he was good at carpentry and was an expert at building things with wood as buildings, objects, tables, etc. His daughter, Saurina was 19 and could always help his father in carpentry. Saurina was a cute young girl. She had a nice long dark hair. Her eyes were green and beneath them could see a small nose. She was beautiful! She was very concerned about I
taking the black plague because at that time it was easy to suffer it, and as her family was poor and did not have much hygiene they could take it. She was one of the best officers in the business because his father, as he was the teacher, helped her a lot and was very grateful to her.

Once in the palace, the girl was still very bad but his father knew the Black Death and he knew the symptoms of this disease and all corresponded with the Black Death. She vomited many times, she got lumps in her feet and groin, and she got temperature. Because of her bad luck, the doctors came with their white coats and their face masks; they confirmed that she had the Black Death. The doctors said that the Black Death began with a flea’s bite, and this disease was caused by the absence of hygiene. Everybody was down in the dump, but nobody throw in the towel, and they asked the doctors for what to do to get her better. At any rate, Gerald’s family were very rich and, surely they could pay the treatment and they asked the doctors and the alchemists: - Is there any treatment to improve her health?

- We don’t know if it would work correctly, but to make the symptoms improve, we know a ritual with fire that would not make her any damage. At least, she will feel better and she will keep on doing a normal life, but she will have to improve her hygiene. Saurina thanked a lot Gerald and his father all the things they were doing for her. Then, they did the ritual. The doctor danced his hands around her feet and with the hit of the fire inside a glass. After that, he put a powder on her feet. After few days, she became to feel better, and she could pass more days with Gerald.
