Seiya - Paying the Price

I walk over to Seiya as he stands completely frozen.

“Don’t worry, Seiya! I’ll save you again!”

I was able to save him once, so I’m sure I can do it again!

I start casting my healing in preparation, but...

“...Huh?”

No cuts or wounds appear on Seiya’s body. Instead, his cheek starts to crack.“Wh-what’s going on?! This is different than last time...”I touch his cracked cheek, immediately healing it. But his arms, legs—every part of his body starts to crack. No matter how many times I heal him, another part of his body begins to crack until they spread all over his body.

A-am I not going to make it in time?! His body is being destroyed faster than I can regenerate it! The second gate laughs at me as I panic.“Guhaaa-ha-ha-ha-heh-heh-heh! I hope you don’t think a pathetic human can avoid paying the ultimate price twice in a row!”
