Chapter 446: A Forgetful Conversation
Aurelia walked around the unconscious patient lying on top of the stone table. Elayne of the Storm Howler tribe was the daughter of their chieftain, Lykos, who also happened to be the Warrior Elect.
Her son had clearly already worked on Elayne’s body. The skin across her chest and abdomen was a bright fresh green, the telltale sign of recently healed flesh. Still, even if he had knitted the flesh back together, the dark splotches forming over most of her body hinted at the sign of internal bleeding. Judging by the faint bumps and indents across her ribcage Aurelia noted 9 broken ribs and 8 fractures. It was a miracle she was still breathing. And she hadn’t even begun to examine the extent of damage that had been to her four limbs, all of which were bent at odd angles.
“God dammit…” Aurelia muttered. “Stryg, you didn’t have to beat her half to death.”
“M-Ma’am?” an acolyte squeaked with uncertainty.
Aurelia glanced at the young woman in the corner of the room, standing at the ready.
“Bring me fresh towels and two basins filled with water, one hot, the other warm. And tell the Silver Mother to send over the herbs in the red jar with the green lid, she’ll know the one. Now go.”
“Yes, Ma’am!” the acolyte nodded and hurried out of the room.
Aurelia poured white mana into Elayne’s chest and let it seep throughout the rest of her body. Even with her skills, it would take quite some time to heal the damage, but at the very least she could cover the patient’s internal organs in a protective healing spell.
Elayne’s chest suddenly rose and she gasped, then fell into a coughing fit.
