Especially since he was the only one bothered. He tried not to freak out about how awful the process looked. She wanted to sit in a chair right beside Alden’s bed, and since Rrorro didn’t mind, Alden had a front row seat he was not prepared for while the icorlax literally chopped away patches of corruption damage from Kibby’s hands and arms and then slowly regrew clean flesh in its place. Kibby came in shortly after that for what was apparently her own second healing session. The med room was full of way more equipment than it had been when he’d first arrived, and he had a couple of IVs. He woke up completely pain free and feeling like he had solid-ish bones. The healer left to rest for a couple of hours, came back, and Alden went under again. All great choices, in Alden’s opinion.īut even though he understood, it was still disturbing to see himself looking like an infected, broken, and partially-skinned monster. Rrorro explained that she’d used their first healing bout to deal with the strain on his heart, his dehydration, and his dust-abraded eyes and lungs. Being desperate and unable to register pain had kept him going long after nature would have made him lie down, but it had also let him demolish himself. He’d been in bad shape before he took the magic pill. Stress fractures, broken ankle, broken toes, swollen knees, torn muscles, missing skin, missing nails, giant oozing sores on his ribs and back… Until then, Alden got to feel all of the damage. Very apologetic, the icorlax gave him something that worked about as well as an aspirin and explained that some of the wizards were trying to track down and/or brew serious, human-approved meds.īeing healed was a process. And whatever overkill mind-altering drug LeafSong had given him had finally worn off. It was her main magical pain relief method, but she couldn’t safely keep him under indefinitely. Rrorro had knocked him out with a spell while she worked on him. When Alden woke from his initial healing session, he hurt like hell.
