When Elizabeth was brought to camp, she was given a healing potion that stopped the bleeding and recovered the vital injuries from the demon's surprise attack. Recently, they discovered that the demon's weapon was capable of slowing down their natural healing, which explained why Lyra's bleeding couldn't stop once she had been stabbed in the shoulder by the spear's head.
After thirty minutes, she started seeing results, and her shoulder wound had began closing up.
Ryne on the other hand hadn't said a word since they got here. The gloominess on his face said it all.
"Never run away from your enemies."
That's what he usually told himself each time before he engaged in a fight with anyone. He would charge into a fight with pride and courage knowing that even though he loses, he would never be called a coward for running away from a fight.
