The medic quickly pulled a two large pieces of what looked like quartz out of a satchel and struck them together, causing flash of light where the two made contact.

The medic continued to work away, and eventually the light stayed somehow, a small glowing spot on either crystal. He struck them together one final time, and the quartz dissolve in his hands. He touched the bleeding man's head, and the cuts, breaks, and bruises all just... vanished. In an instant. Julie let out a long sigh of relief, and slid down against the wall of the alley, burying her face in her hands and breathing deeply. @Ookla the foolish Edited December 17, 2023 by Ookla the Abstract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
