Callie, with her remarkable healing abilities, worked tirelessly to tend to their wounds. Her hands emitted a soothing, magical aura that closed wounds and eased their pain.

She began to recount her own journey, sharing tales of the enigmatic sword Kaldor and the purpose that had driven her into this perilous quest. Leo listened with rapt attention, his curiosity piqued by the story of a warrior's relentless pursuit of truth.
