Aeron's healing hit Fin like cold water poured over a third-degree burn, spreading down his ribs, sealing the gash in his side, knitting torn muscle back together with a precision that his body accepted and his mind completely ignored.
He had been gutted before. Stabbed, broken, dragged through fights that should have killed him twice over. None of it had ever made his hands shake. They were shaking now, but not from the wounds. From the image seared into his skull of Serena standing alone on that mountain, surrounded, with Gavriel bleeding out beside her and no extraction coming.
Next to him, Hyran was pouring healing magic into Dexmon. The bleeding had stopped, but there were more stab wounds on his body in comparison and worse than Fin's by a factor of 'a vampire king tried to kill him personally.'
