"You're awake!"

Relief flooded Annette’s face the moment your eyes fluttered open. One moment you’d been beside her on the battlefield, the next she’d found you collapsed. The hours since had been agonising. She hadn’t left your side in the infirmary, not even for a second.

"Thank the Goddess you're okay..."

Her voice was soft as she held her hands just above your wound, letting her healing magic flow gently to ease the pain.
