In your hands

The group of warriors was wounded and defeated, but they were still alive, and above all, eager to continue with their purpose. Therefore, the first battle could not be tough enough to make the warriors give up. Only a threat or a large-scale tragedy could put an end to the justice spirit of these good warriors! Although they wanted to keep fighting, the wounds of this battle left them badly injured, enough so that they had to rest and heal these wounds.

It was a risky situation, considering that they still needed to stay on guard in this arid and unreliable forest. So Alexander and the other warriors decided to take Lyra, who was still unconscious, to a deeper part of the forest, away from the path they needed to follow to reach the castle.

"We must heal her immediately. If she continues like this, she will lose her life," says Marcus, who is with the other warriors surrounding the injured Lyra.

"Her wounds are deep, but she has me. I am the best healer that the tribe could have, so step aside! I will save her," says the warrior Rogelio.

Everyone was anxious about what was going to happen. They could not afford to lose their current captain, so Rogelio had all the pressure on him. But that didn't matter to him. It was not enough to distract him from concentrating and performing the ritual.

This ritual was a calm and not very powerful one, since there were still some materials and especially potions that would have made it even better, but since the tools were limited, Rogelio simply used all his inner power to perform this process.

Green lights began to emanate from his hands that were near Lyra's skin, and they required so much energy that Rogelio began to sweat. His fatigue was evident, but it was worth it since the wound was closing.

Yes, this wound in her abdomen was a deep cut, but with Rogelio's power, it was gradually closing until it was completely sealed.

"Look...she seems to be more alive, she's improving," says Marcus.

"Yes, the power of our comrade is bringing her back to life. This is the power of the tribe," says Alexander in a more serious and profound tone.

After a few moments, Rogelio stopped and stopped healing Lyra, as she was already waking up, and as that happened, Rogelio fell to the ground from exhaustion.

"What...happened?" says Lyra with a slightly tired voice.

"Oh...Lyra, how do you feel?" says Alexander, helping her up.

"I'm fine...I no longer feel pain in my abdomen," says Lyra confused.

"Yes, our comrade Rogelio exerted himself to heal your wounds," says Alexander pointing to the tired Rogelio, who only smiled to indicate that everything was fine.

"Oh, thank you so much. Are you okay? We should take a break," says Lyra, getting up from the ground.

"Yes! That sounds good, but I hope there are no more enemies. I won't be able to fight like that again! I'm afraid I'll lose the way," says Marcus dramatically.

"Don't worry, by defeating those animals, it is clear that we are not people who should be attacked. That is why we can take a break, at least for a few hours," says Lyra as she looked at the horizon.

"Of course. It makes as much sense as the fact that you are our leader. I'll be calm...but at the same time alert so that you can rest peacefully, Miss Lyra," says Marcus.

"Thank you for your loyalty, Marcus. We'll all be alert before we can continue our journey," says Lyra.

For a few hours, the group was healing their wounds and eating a bit. There were no major problems, so they were able to gain energy and keep it to continue their long journey towards the castle.

As they were riding their horses, Alexander became curious about what had happened earlier in the battle. It was hard to believe that Lyra could defeat the big minion without much effort. So, he asked her the following question:

"Your power is immeasurable, Lyra. You must have had a pretty tough training," says Alexander, trying to start a calm conversation.

"Well...not really. Why do you ask?" Lyra responds with some doubt.

"You know, it's not surprising that I'm amazed by the strength you have. That minion was quite strong," Alexander replies.

"Yeah! That was epic. You put him to sleep in an instant," says Marcus.

"Well, you are trustworthy. I hope that when we arrive at the castle, the plan you have in mind serves to protect us," exclaims Alexander.

"Yes, don't worry, everything is more than planned. In the worst case, you guys flee and I sacrifice myself," says Lyra.

"What!?" says Alexander.

The warriors were already about to reach the castle, they had to cross through the small village ruled by the kingdom, but in no way would they be stopped by any adversity. These warriors were prepared for whatever came their way. Thus, the story of this unparalleled group continued, facing the worst to achieve the best.

"Well, I was just lucky that he was distracted," Lyra says, laughing subtly.

"Sure...I feel more relieved knowing that I won't have to protect you, although that was already clear when you were at war against the vampires," Alexander says.

"What do you mean?" Lyra asks.
