"Whispers of the Goddess"

The battle ended, and a heavy silence fell, laden with consequences.

Mikaela, with visible effort, laid Leonard's unconscious body on the muddy grass, remnants of the storm that had passed. The cold, damp earth contrasted with the heat radiating from him, a residual, unnatural heat.

"What was that, Leo...?" The question, a whisper directed more to herself than to the unconscious Leonard, carried worry and a hint of admiration. A dangerous mixture.

Her own pain brought her back to reality. "I need to close this wound... fast..." The thought, urgent, echoed in her mind.

She'd lost a lot of blood, and weakness was starting to set in.

With a sigh, Mikaela focused. A silent prayer, a plea for help to the Goddess of Light. Her ELEV activated, and the ability flowed. It was "Holy Healing," a warm and comforting energy that emanated from her hands, now enveloped in a soft yellowish light.
