The Count is amazed and amused in that it only takes her a month or two before the people of the village accept that she is genuinely interested in their health and general welfare; nor does she hold a grudge from being set up. She is willing to speak to the Count on their behalf if there is something that REALLY needs to be brought to his attention.

She has set up a bird contact system at the village Inn. If she’s really needed they send a messenger bird.

She teaches Lyla medicine as she goes and a few of the more intelligent castle mutants are trained as aides including Laska and Luuridos, her door guards, turned bodyguards.

Laska looks like a cliché yeti except that her fur is pale pink and her eyes are crystal like and bright blue. Only her palms and the soles of her feet are hairless. She ‘speaks’ telepathically even with these who are ungifted. She has great physical strength but more importantly from the Count’s point of view, she has a natural and impenetrable mind shield.

Luuridos on the other hand has overwhelming short-range psychic power. His physical body looks a bit like a green scaled, hairless monkey, including prehensile tail, paws and jumping ability. He has sentient intelligence and also communicates telepathically. He normally rides on his partners shoulder so it looks like a yeti with a pet monkey. Hampered as she is by the Count’s demands, Ellie can’t counter the combination of Laska’s physical strength and Luuridos psi abilities.

Ellie and Jarad, the brown haired, brown-eyed local doctor (once he unbends enough) get together and compare notes. He’s good but doesn’t have her psi boost when it comes to healing and there are a number of injuries and illness that are beyond him.
Ellie, with his backing, deals with these though he is always in attendance to reassure the villagers… not that any of them would dare to lay a finger on her but unless she forced the situation nor would they allow her to help without him being there.

He helps her sneak a message to her father saying she is well but probably indefinitely detained and to send a message to the town her job was in telling them likewise.
