The silver really ate away a good chunk of her side. It looks like a creature took a bite out of her.She notices me watching. “Worth it,” she
EvelynI call for a healer, sending him to fetch Dr. Zorinski, to let her know that Emma has woken up.By the time my mom enters the hospital wing, Alexander and Dr. Zorinski have helped Emma up into a sitting position. Her eyes are open, and she’s called her brother an idiot twice, which has made h
