Chapter 6:The Cursed Wound

In the sanctuary of the Southern Kingdom's clinic, Princess Esperanza, with a furrowed brow, watched over Captain Corvin as he reclined on a bed, his right shoulder still smoldering from the dark flame lance unleashed by Princess Lysandra. The haunting flames defied the conventional remedies, its curse-like essence making it stubborn and resistant to healing.

Corvin, with a mixture of pain and concern etched across his face, looked to Esperanza. "I fear this wound is unlike any we've encountered before. The dark flame seems to persist, resisting our attempts to quell its infernal burn."

Beside them, the kingdom's esteemed doctor and a cleric engaged in a hushed conversation. The doctor, a master of earthly remedies, exchanged words with the cleric, a wielder of holy magic, their faces looked with concern.

Esperanza, her eyes reflecting the weight of responsibility, approached the duo. "Can anything be done, Doctor? Cleric?"

The doctor sighed, "The nature of this curse is complex. It's like a relentless ember, consuming the very fabric of his shoulder. We've applied holy magic to slow its advance, but the dark flame's curse is still there."

The cleric nodded in agreement, "Indeed. It's as if the dark flame is not merely a wound but a malevolent force. Holy magic can only do so much to slow its effects. We must find a way to counteract its curse."

Corvin, suppressing the pain, intervent, "Everyone every moment feels like a slowly burning me. We need a solution, and quickly."

As they deliberated, Esperanza's mind raced with possibilities. She, too, felt the urgency of finding a remedy for Corvin cursed. The cleric suggested a combination of holy magic and sacred rituals to subdue the dark flame's curse, but the challenge remained formidable.

Inside the clinic, a collective determination emerged. Esperanza, Corvin, the doctor, and the cleric found themselves entangled in a battle against time. The small hope of healing Corvin flickered, and the race to save him from the curse begins.
