The medical room at the Divine Temple was quiet except for the soft light from the healing crystals that were set into the walls. Carmilla was lying in the recovery bed, her body completely healed thanks to Liora's powerful divine magic and Sylvia's aggressive dragon healing working together.
The wounds on the body were gone, where the bruises went away, bones healed, and cuts closed up without leaving scars. But Rick could tell through their restored Spirit Bond that something else inside her was still broken, something that healing magic couldn't fix.
He had pulled a chair up next to her bed and wouldn't leave, even though Liora gently told him to. That was twelve hours ago, and now the sun had set, night had come, and dawn was coming again. Rick stayed and watched Carmilla's face in the soft light of the crystal.
She was acting like she was asleep. Her breathing was too steady, and her body was too still.
