Medicinal herbs

For a solid minute, I just stood there.

Not moving.

Not thinking.

Just staring at Maeve's unconscious body sprawled across the ground like a collapsed statue of muscle and bad decisions.

What the fuck was I supposed to do?

One second, we were skiing like reckless idiots, then some goddamn portal sucked us into that weird magic-less nightmare dimension, and now… we were here.

Wherever here was.

I took a shaky breath and finally looked around, trying to make sense of our surroundings.

The landscape had shifted entirely—no longer the vast, empty nothingness where that monster had lurked. Instead, we were now in a cave.

And not just any cave.
