Shut up and let me save you

Approaching Anna's motionless figure, Ethan knelt down in front of her, his gaze fixated on her still body. A keen discernment allowed him to perceive the presence of Valerie's command magic, a force that had restrained Anna's movements.

With a sense of purpose, Ethan retrieved a small vial containing the same herbs he had encountered earlier. The delicate bottle glimmered in the dim light, its contents holding the promise of liberation.

"This may not restore you completely, but it should grant you some mobility," Ethan murmured, his voice infused with a mixture of determination and compassion. Carefully, he uncorked the vial, its scent carrying hints of earthiness and herbal potency.

Time became a fleeting concept as Ethan poured the herbs into Valerie's mouth, ensuring that every precious drop found its way past her lips. The elixir, infused with a hint of hope, mingled with her senses, its transformative properties unfurling within her.
