Scouting

"Lord Liam, if it pleases you I could wait here with Lady Alex until she recovers and guard her." Elira offered her services seeing that Liam was still standing at the same spot, even extending her arms to carry the lady in his stead but Liam firmly shook his head.

He wanted to hold her himself. He continued waiting for a few minutes, half an hour to be precise, and then took out another pristine pearl-like pill, pushing it into Alex's lips and feeding her.

Eldrin's eyes widened again as this pill too seemed abnormal. 

He looked at Liam, at the weak ordinary girl in his arms whom he wouldn't glance twice, the trash heap he called his world, and the weird world tree plant near them. What the hell was happening? He scratched his head in confusion and continued watching silently.

A few minutes later, the effect of the second pill also became evident.
