Call My Name

Rain began healing Valeria using the blood essence that she stole. Although she had enough to revive the dead, it worked very little to heal Valeria's giant wound. Kar's blood was preventing her regeneration. 

"You are the same as before," Valeria said with a smile as she averted her gaze, looking at the ceiling. "Always placing others before you." 

Rain bit her lower lip as she pouted. Kar was screaming something from the other side, but Sapphire rushed to stop him. She pulled the harp's strings to send countless blades of force. 

Spade began creating a portal to let them escape, but Rain knew that Valeria would not survive the trip. The spatial strain on her fragile body would kill her. Therefore, she could not leave. 

"I cannot leave her here," Rain said to Spade, who turned toward her with confusion. "Leave without us. We still have a few people coming to save us."
