Twenty minutes after we began to rest, Anise’s {Phoenix's Last Stand} ended. Imdiately afterward, her stats dropped two grades. Her ability to control flas and conjure fire dropped to almost nothing. She also suffered a huge amount of backlash. She scread in pain once the backlash started, and then fell unconscious.
I had prepared for that. The mont Anise collapsed, I threw every speck of alteration essence I had into another renewal while Felix soothed her parents. Felix's excuse was that Anise had overextended herself during the battle - which was accurate, if misleading.
After my healing, Anise still looked like she was in pain. I got worried and spent a few minutes verifying that she still had a pulse and a heartbeat.
She did.
After a few minutes of gut-wrenching anxiety, I started to relax. Anise’s condition wasn’t getting any worse. She would live. She was still missing half of her arm, and wasn't waking up anyti soon, but I could fix everything later.
I said, so that Sallia would know her death wasn’t in vain.
said Sallia sleepily.
