115 Indignation and Change

Astarto Village, at the village clinic.

"Welcome to the village clinic, how may I help yo—?!" Sensing a couple people enter the clinic just a couple of hours before sunset, Vera was left at a loss for words as she looked at the sight before him. Though battered and bruised all over, Tristan carried Valyr on his back, who seemed to be in a far worse state than the former.

"What happened to you two?" With slight panic in her voice, she rushed over to where the two were, aiding Tristan in carefully transporting Valyr. Placing the latter down on a nearby bed, Vera could not help but look at the two with an expression filled with worry.

"We got ambushed on the way back to the village," Tristan said in response, making Vera cover her mouth in shock as she felt tears start to well up in her eyes. Just as she was about to ask Tristan further regarding what happened, the latter reminded her that there was a far more important matter at hand.
