ALL NOVEL Chapter 26: Lan of the Four Winds

"Yes, it is a unique ability even among the Minor Ones that only the Children of Argos possess." She smiled. "You were out for a month. But, never fear, I can now go much faster since you have awoken. I was worried about the consequences of trying to restore your lifeforce too quickly." Then, she added, "I'm sorry. This will hurt very much."
