Bosom of the Almighty

She turned back to Tien and placed her hand on his temple. She closed her eyes and soon light started to shine on Tien's temple. After 1 minute or so, she stopped and shook her head. "The curse is more powerful than I had thought. I will need to expend more magic for this."

She took a deep breath. She placed her arms under Tien's back and under his legs picked him up. I stared at this scene in shock! Why is this small and delicate looking priestess picking up this huge man? She did it so easily too!

After picking Tien up, she held him in her arms and closed her yes. Soon light started to shine from all over her body. After a few seconds, Tien also started to shine with the same light. After half a minute, Tien finally moved and then opened his yes. He looked up at Eliena and muttered

"An Angel?"

Eliena smiled and said "I am not an angel. I am the high priestess of Tiaanway city."

Tien was still being held in Eliena's arms. When he realized that he said in embarrassment "Uh.. can you put me down?"

Eliena smiled and gently put Tien down on the bed. "Just rest for now. I am going to heal the girl as well"

Tien looked at Nina and said "Nina! She is still alive?"

Eliena walked towards Nina and picked her up. "Yes, she is alive but she is cursed. I am going to cure her now"

"Cursed?"

Holy light enveloped Eliena again and half a minute later Nina woke up.

"What? Where am I? Who.. who are you?" Nina seemed scared.

Eliena reassured her "I am the high priestess of Tiaanway city. You are safe now. You have been healed."

Nina relaxed a bit when she heard that. Suddenly she realized that she was in Eliena's arms.

"Umm… why are you carrying me?"

"It was the only way to heal you. I had to use the highest level magic available to me called 'The bosom of the almighty' to heal you two."

"Two? Do you mean me and Tien?" Nina asked.

Eliena turned around and carried her over to Tien. "Yes he is here as well. I have already healed him"

"Tien! Tien, I … I … didn't…" Nina started to tear up.

Eliena suddenly turned back and placed her on her bed.

"You two can talk later. You need to rest for now. Your body is very weak after the effect of the curse. I will send you some food over. "

"Ah… yes high priestess. I thank you for saving our lives" said Nina meekly.

"Instead of me, you need to thank these brave four over here. They are the ones that brought you here. My job here is done. I need to rest as well. Take care you two." Eliena said this and left.

As soon as Eliena left, the nun said "High priestess Eliena is the youngest ever high priestess in the Saren Kingdom and blessed with incredible talent for healing. She could have stayed in the Capital but moved out of there since she wanted to help people in other cities as well. You two are very lucky that she was here."

Everyone was surprised after hearing this new information. Indeed, Nina and Tien were really lucky if this was the case.

The nun took her leave after making sure that Tien and Nina were comfortable.

Edwards suddenly started talking with Tien and Nina

"Tien and Nina, I am Captain Edwards of the city guard. Please stay here for the foreseeable future until I come back. I need to ask you two questions about the bandits. I will not disturb you for now since you need rest. If you do need to leave, please leave an address where I will be able to contact you."

Once getting the confirmation from the two, we left the healing center.
