Healing Training - Short Deadline

Dread · 09-15-2022, 12:49 AM

Dread won't voice it, but he's attached himself to Halo... at least today. She was a healer, they said. She could make others better. She could fix them. Dread wants to fix his sisters, his brother. He wants to absorb what he can from Halo's brain so that maybe he can make them better too. He can fix his sisters' sight. He can fix his brother's leg. He can fix them all... as long as he learns enough. As long as Halo teaches him absolutely everything that he can possibly absorb from her brain. In the end, Dread would save them all. He was sure of it.

Saving them all, fixing them all, started small. The boy, with his not quite cooperative joints and slightly awkward gait, brought Halo a sprig of... something. It smelled nice. It seemed to smell just the same as Halo did, or maybe... maybe Halo smelled like this? Something like that. The prince brought the plant forward, looking to the healer for answers. "What does it do?" Instead of an answer he got a knowing smile, a request for him to wait just a moment. She called for help. It took Dread a moment of thought to realize that this wasn't a rejection. This was an invitation for more of them to come... was his help not good enough? Would they need more?

But Dread chased the thought from his head, and he waited for the rest to arrive. Right. Learning.
