When I saw all these wounds and all these injured people started to stand up for me and for their own sake, I felt bad. I don't know why but I just felt as if they would get even more hurt or would aggravate their illness and so on. This was somewhat necessary but the conditions of most of the people who were not nobility here were just not that good. I felt sympathy towards them and it broke my heart seeing even kids and young adults being there with broken arms, legs and other kinds of open wounds. It was devastating.

I wish I could heal up a whole area at once!

They need it!

I want them to feel better!

If things won't change they will get hurt even more!

There are just too many people around the area....

They will hurt each other.

The knights which were now dragging the pope away were also not scarred and one of them even had an eye patch. Something inside me urged me to just heal them all. I couldn't really describe this feeling. It was as if I knew this was possible and necessary as if I was the answer to this all. I know this sounds selfish and I hated that thought but I felt power surging through my veins. I felt it all. It was just so sudden for me to control it.

What should I do?

Micheal is also still laying on the ground?

He is not moving...

What should I do?

I started panicking a bit but then it hit me. I couldn't stop that feeling of power, I couldn't detain it at all. It was too much for me and before I knew it, there was a faint dragon-like pattern on the ground. I could see it very clearly and I think Micheal did too. He was not moving but he was breathing and when the dragon-like light emerged on the ground it was covering a wide area and just slithering around. It reminded me of a chinese dragon but it was large and it was just a pattern on the ground which was moving around all the injured people.

What is going on?

What is this?

Maybe it was my desire to heal everyone or it was just a power I didn't know I had but this dragon pattern was healing the people it touched. First it went towards Micheal and healed him. Then moved on and started slithering in a huge circle healing the people close to me first and then every other one. After it touched Micheal, I could see him move and as I was relieved, I ran towards him and hugged him. He was the one who wanted to shield me and got in the way of the pope's anger getting the full brunt of it.

"Vi- Saintess... how?"

"I don't know..."

"Are you doing this?"

"I think so..."

I was sure he could see the dragon which started to return back to me but not before it touched even the last person at the far back. The longer it stayed out, the more and more I felt exhausted. I never felt like this before at all. Right now, I feel as if I could fall asleep at any moment.

"Saintess!"

"..."

I am sorry....

I am soo tired...

"SAINTESS!"

It may even have been too late for me. I wanted to reply to Micheal but all I could see was the faint vision of the pattern returning to me before I completely dropped to the ground. I was too exhausted to stand and thankfully Micheal managed to catch me before my head would have even touched the ground.

Of course I could hear the people around us as well. My body was just not reacting to me anymore. I could hear his voice and everything else as well. I could even feel his touch and how he picked me up. Micheal was even slightly shaking as he picked me up off the ground and hurried somewhere.

"Move!"

Oh how I wished to tell Micheal that I was fine. He was freaking out and I could hear his heartbeat as he was carrying me in his arms, my head against his chest. I was quite sure that Micheal was actually princess carrying me.

"A wonder happened!"

"LONG LIVE THE SAINTESS!"

"OUR SAINTESS!!!"

"A DOCTOR QUICK!"

"SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!"

"WE NEED A DOCTOR!"

These people started all panicking and again, I started to wish I would wake up from this paralysis faster. However it seemed as if this was the price of the power I just displayed. At least I managed to heal everyone who needed healing. I was quite proud of this fact and was about to regret nothing!

I am really fine... I wish I could tell them that... I just need some rest... I don't have any strength at all.

"I am a doctor! May I check upon her?"

"Please...."

Micheal's voice was shaking and while he was still having me in his arms, I felt someone other than him touch me around my neck. I believe that this person was checking my pulse and even if this felt weird and threatening, it was one of the fastest methods to check up on me after all. I might not know much about medicine but this is what I believed that was happening. There was nothing I could do nor see at this moment. My body refused to listen to me but I was still able to sense things around me as well as feel and hear everything that was happening.

"It seems the saintess just fainted slightly. I suggest laying her down and letting her rest till she recovers."

"Thank god, it's just fatigue...."

"Your Eminence, if I may, I have an inn... I would like to thank the Saintess for saving my wife and my child first. Please let her rest there."

"How absurd! My home is close by, she should rest at a noble place where she can get the finest treatment."

Sounds lovely but I wonder what the nobles will say....

Guess this is Micheals choice to make....

But they called him his Eminence!

That means they approve of him!

This is a huge milestone!

I am happy for you!

I could tell it was getting hectic around me but it was Micheals call to make right now. For once, I still had the veil on and my identity was still intact. I feared that this was over. That I had made a huge mistake here but I was really relieved to see that this was not the case.

"If I may suggest, why not try to use holy power on the Saintess?"

"It won't work."

I wonder why...

He never told me about this.

"I see. Excuse this old doctor for not knowing this."

"It's fine. How far is the inn?"

"Just over there."

"Viscount, you home?"

"Right behind us."

Guess we are going to the Viscount. That is the most logical choice here after all.

"This settles it. I want her to rest as fast as possible. I am sorry but Viscount, may I trouble you for the time being?"

"That is no problem."

"I understand your choice, your eminence. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to repay the saintess."

Hurried footsteps could be heard and a door being thrown open. The next thing I could hear was the Viscount shouting around at his servants to quickly prepare the guest room and also get a wet towel for me. Then everything started to quickly move and next thing I knew I was laying down on the bed.

"It is my responsibility to make sure you are alright... and I failed...I am sorry."

At this very moment, I wished I could tell him how much it was not his fault but m y very own desire. To top that off, I never had this ability before. I didn't know I could heal a lot of people in one area. This was just soo new to me. I couldn't control the power I had at all. However I knew that I would use this power as a last resort from now on. It was powerful enough to heal everyone but at the same time knock me out and leave me in a dangerous situation. It was definitely something I had to use sparingly and very carefully.

"I should have made sure that you wouldn't do something like that.... I should have stopped you somehow... Don't get into any kind of trouble please... This land needs you soo desperately. You can't do anything reckless and die... please... get well soon."

No matter how I was looking at this situation, there was just nothing I could do right now at all. I was helpless. I felt like a newborn baby which needed to learn to walk. I had no idea about my powers and when I first discovered them, I thought it was just healing by touch but it started evolving before I even knew it. Was this the power of the dragon blood? Maybe this was something else? I couldn't know what's what anymore. I still faintly remember that moment when I used wind magic around me. It happened once again when I was flying away and I don't know what this was. Was this normal? Was I normal? Was I an abnormality? Or was it just super rare to have more than one ability? Was I in danger because of this?

Well the last question was obvious since the king still wanted me dead after all. As for the other questions, I didn't know what it was but I could tell that things were not right here at all.

"Is there anything you need, your Eminence?"

The door got opened and closed once again and I could hear the Viscounts voice again but this time I felt someone place something around my neck. This was probably an alternative to the forehead since I was still having this veil on. It may be inconvenient but I couldn't risk people recognizing the daughter of the Underwoods just yet.

"I am fine."

"We prepared the room right next door for you. You might want to rest as well."

"I'll stay with the Saintess. I don't want her to be scared when she wakes up in an unknown environment."

"How thoughtful."

"Can you leave us alone?"

"Very well. Please make sure to rest as well."

The door once again opened and closed but after this what came was just silence. Nothing else followed but silence and it was such a heavy silence that it felt awkward and pressuring. I could tell that Micheal was blaming himself for what happened but it was not his fault at all. He couldn't stop me nor could he know that I could do something like that. I didn't even know about this at all.

After a while, I could feel Micheal's hands again. He was squeezing mine as if to make sure I was still alive and there. What was going on in his little mind, I could only imagine that. From what I knew he was a person who took a lot to heart. Perhaps he simply thought he was too weak but that was not the truth at all. In fact he was very strong and powerful but was hiding his strength since his position was yet to be determined. Once could refer to him as a sleeping tiger cup between kittens.

"Oh Vivi... I am so sorry. I should have stopped the Pope from approaching you. I should have known that this would happen with what kind of personality you have.... We may not know each other for long.... But I find it easy to understand you."

Same here!

You are smart, strong and very kind hearted!

You just want the best for everyone and this world!

I simply wished to do that too!

I don't know if I could get back to my world but if I am already stuck here... might even do the best I can to make this world a better place....

It might even be my role... or the role I am supposed to play... I don't know...

It just feels right to do this...
