Millie stepped closer to the bed, her hands shaking slightly as she hovered them above Axelius's wounded body. She took a deep breath, her eyes squeezing shut, and the green light brightened, spilling over his skin like flowing water.
The cuts began to knit together slowly, the bruises fading just slightly as the magic worked its way through his body. Axelius's breathing steadied, his face losing some of its pale, strained look.
"It's working...She's healing him" Andrius whispered, watching in awe.
"Good," Vivienne said, her voice softening just a bit. "Keep going, Millie. But remember...only enough to stabilize him."
Millie nodded, sweat beginning to form on her brow as she concentrated harder, her green mana pulsing steadily.
