Healing Rosewood

Grace's arms ached. Her fingers tingled with remnants of divine energy. She'd been healing villagers for hours, and the strain was starting to show.

「Villagers Healed: 12/100」

She took a deep breath and moved to the next patient, a young boy with corruption veins creeping up his neck. His mother sat beside him, stroking his forehead with worried eyes.

"I'm Grace," she said, kneeling beside them. "I can help him."

The woman nodded tearfully.

"Please, angel. He's all I have."

... No pressure or anything.

Grace placed her hands on the boy's shoulders, channeling her energy once more. Golden light spread through her fingers into his small body. The corruption resisted at first, then yielded to her cleansing power.

The boy's eyes fluttered open.

"Mama? I don't feel cold anymore."

The woman burst into tears, pulling her son into a tight embrace.

"Thank you," she sobbed. "Thank you."
