Thalia's Ashen Fate
"What happened?"
"Their companion, Liora—she’s a healer. Someone was badly burned, and she saved them." Amelia paused, her eyes dark with the implication. "She's missing now."
Frustration flared, hot and sharp. "Fools," I hissed, the word escaping before I could stop it. "Any magic in the deep tunnels is a death sentence. Healing is a signed confession."
"They knew the risk," Amelia countered, her tone soft but firm. "But if it were you, Thalia... if you were watching an innocent burn, could you have simply walked away?"
