The healing chamber was nothing like Elara expected.
Soft amber light filtered through windows made of what seemed to be living crystal, casting a warm glow that softened the clinical white walls. Delicate plants with translucent leaves grew in strategically placed alcoves, their roots visible through glass containers that looked more like art installations than medical equipment.
Dr. Aria Sunweaver looked exactly like what Elara imagined a Solarian healer would be – impossibly graceful, with skin that seemed to glow from within and eyes the color of liquid gold. Her white healing robes were embroidered with intricate patterns that shifted and moved when she walked, as if the fabric itself was alive with magical energy.
"Blood trauma is complex," Dr. Sunweaver began, her voice as smooth as honey. "Especially for someone who has experienced transformation as profound as yours."
