Darren - Healing

"How bad … am I … burnt?"

"Very bad," Mr. Crepsley said.

"You look … like an over- … cooked sausage," Harkat joked.

I laughed weakly. "I sound … like you … now," I told him.

"Yes," he agreed. "But you … will get … better."

"Will I?" I addressed the question to Mr. Crepsley.

"Yes," he said, nodding firmly. "You have suffered a terrible ordeal, but the damage is not permanent.

Your feet suffered the worst of the punishment, but the medics have saved them. It will take time to heal, and your hair might never grow back, but you are in no immediate danger."

"I have discussed things with Vanez," Mr. Crepsley said, "and we both agree that you would be better served in preparing for your next Trial by rest rather than practice. There are no special skills required in the Trial of the Blooded Boars. You simply have to face and kill two boars that have been infected with vampire blood. It is a straightforward fight to the death."
