Kyra opened her mouth to speak but again nothing came out. She felt weak and fragile, like she'd broken every part of her body. Instead, she just let her head flop against Eliza's shoulder, feeling the warmth of Eliza's breath against her cheek.

Eliza sighed, trying to conceal her anger. She hated seeing her girlfriend like this and wanted whoever hurt her to pay but at the same time, ensuring Kyra was okay was a priority. And right now she knew Kyra was weak, both physically and emotionally. Although she didn't know the truth, she did know that whenever Kyra went to the tavern, it usually meant she was trying to hide something. So she focused right now on trying her best to stay calm and help her girlfriend.

Eliza gently ran her fingers over Kyra's rough scales in an attempt to sooth her and lightly kissed her forehead. "You're alright now. I've got you. You're safe here"

Kyra gave her a weak smile and was able to mumble the words "thank you" before her world turned to black and she fell limp in Eliza's arms.

Eliza let out a small gasp, immediately thinking the worst. "Kyra? Kyra! Stay with me please" she allowed a small tear to trickle down her cheek. She glanced at Kyra's chest and saw that it was still, refusing to rise and fall. She choked back tears as she yelled for help. "Help! Someone please help me! Oh god please help!"

Her cries and pleas for help quickly attracted a crowd who surrounded the two, shocked by what they saw. One of the bystanders happened to be proficient in medicine so rushed to the front. He gently placed his hand on Kyra's chest and let out a sigh of relief when he felt her faint but steady heart beat. "She's alive" he gave her a small smile.

"Can you do something?" She sniffed, wiping away the tears.

He nodded and closed his eyes, casting a spell. The wounds slowly started to close up as Eliza watched, holding her breath.

Suddenly, a sharp gasp of hear was heard as Kyra opened her eyes and glanced around the room in a daze. "What happened?"

Eliza stayed silent but flung her arms around her girlfriend, her tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy. Kyra giggled and happily returned the hug.

Then Eliza playfully slapped Kyra's arm. "Don't you ever do that again to me! You frightened the life out of me"

"I won't"
