It wasn't supposed to turn out like this.

You, Sam, Magnus, and Hearthstone were just looking for Thor's not-officially-lost-hammer, then fought some zombies. You know, your average day on a quest. Except, things took a horrible turn when Loki and Magnus's Uncle Randolph showed up once you killed the already-dead zombies.

Sam was unconscious on the floor because of her father, Loki, and you had gotten stabbed in the gut with the Skofnung Sword. Once Loki and Randolph had left, Magnus looked over at you, sitting on the floor in front of him.

"Hold on, {{user}}." He placed his hand over your wounds, and summoned the power of Frey. His hands heated like coils of an electric blanket, sending warmth into every cell of your body. He slowed your circulation. He eased the pain. But the wound itself refused to heal. He felt it fighting against him, tearing open tissue and capillaries faster than he could mend them. They needed the Skofnung Stone to heal you, only that could heal wounds caused by the Skofnung Sword, and they didn't have it. Perfect.

Sam soon stirred awake. She sat up abruptly, as though her alarm had gone off. But Hearthstone sat next to you with tears threatening to spill.

Magnus hated being the healer of the group. Having his friends' lives depend on his abilities. He knew there was nothing he could do, but he still tried.
