The moment Evena arrived, Rina started explaining what had happened. His eyes narrowed when she explained, but he did not argue. “Take me to them,” he said simply.Rina led him into the safe room.

His brow furrowed. “This is no ordinary sickness,” he muttered. “It is poison. Dark, deliberate, and strong. I do not know if even I can heal him.”Rita’s voice broke as she sank to her knees beside the stretcher. “Please,” she begged. “You must try. I don’t care what it costs, please just save him.”For a long moment, Evena studied her, his eyes unreadable. Then he straightened. “Very well.
