415 Healing Proposition

Ella smiled at the lying wastes of human flesh that were Sophie's parents. "Well, if that is the case, then we have the perfect solution. We have a powerful Fae back in our village that can help heal her mind and soul the way that I healed her body.

"Well, yes, I can see how that would be to her advantage. But she is far from awakening. She's just a girl." Sophie's father stammered.
