"Tell me Alec, where am I now? what happend to thoses who were travelling with me? Where are my parents? Why am I having so much pain in my abdominal area? Why am I feeling that I have lost something inside me?" Helen started bombarding Alec with questions looking panicked.
"Calm down Helen, take rest for now I will explain everything to you later. You had been injured severely. And you were in a coma for more than 5 days. This is your Master's place. He is treating your injuries." Alec was unable to control his emotions while talking. Helen saw his eyes filled with tears.
"Please tell me everything Alec I am feeling something bad had happened. Where are my parents? I want to see them now." She tried to lift her head but felt dizziness and let her head fall back on to the pillow again.
Alec stroked her head gently and said, " I will take you to them but you have to rest for now. Once you are able to stand, we will go to them." Hearing Alec's reassuring words, she breadthed with a sigh of relief and drifted back to sleep due to the exhaustion.
She slept for 2 more days and was recovering quickly in the care of her master, who was considered one of the best healer in the entire kingdom. Once she woke up this time, she felt her state of mind in somewhat normal condition. Alec and John were sitting and discussing something about going back to Green Town.
When they saw Helen open her eyes and smile at them. They felt relaxed. Alec came to her and asked, how was she feeling.
"I feel much better now. But I am still feeling something is missing inside of me." After hearing this both Alec and John exchanged a look between them. She was about to ask Alec further about that day's incident but Helen's master, Regan came in and smiled warmly at Helen.
"How are you child?" He asked Helen. Then he came to her bed side, took her wrist and checking her pulse. "I am feeling much better master Regan. Can you tell me what had happend and why am I feeling a sense of loss inside me?"
Regan looked at Alan who noded his head letting out a deep sigh. Regan the old master of Helen took a stool from the corner, took it to the bedside where Helen was laying and sat on it.
He always treated Helen as his own daughter, as he never got married and dedicated his whole life toward the art of healing.
"My child, I will tel you some bad news. Before that please calm your heart down and try to relax your mind." Regan told her.
Helen felt like her heart skipping a beat. She took a deep breath and nodded her head.
Regan held Helen's hand and looked in her eyes with a serious gaze. " Your energy core is damaged and you will not be able to use your internal energy anymore to heal. I am truely sorry my child. I tried to heal it, but it was completely shattered and beyond recovery."
Helen was silent for a long time. She looked at her master and then at Alec and wispered in a low voice " I am not a magical healer anymore". Hearing this, Alec was heartbroken.
"You have only lost your ability to use your internal energy and not your healing abilities Helen. Even without that you are as knowledgeable and effective healer as me." Regan tried to console Helen.
