Growing up in the swamp, I learned from the Woman. She helped me to understand the benefits of different herbal teas.
Info about Allie: I inherited special gifts from Blue Eyes, who was not of our world. He came through a portal. He wanted to keep a watchful eye over my training with the Woman, but that did not happen. He was of an advanced alien race. The Light Dwellers from another realm.
