I observed, with a sense of powerlessness, as Akira assessed Tanya. Her complexion was ashen, and her heartbeat remained faint.
"What is the matter with her?" I inquired quietly, barely speaking above a whisper.
Akira had a serious expression on his face. " she wasn't sure." But we should keep an eye on her. She has lost much of her magical powers and her physical strength is dwindling.
I agreed, experiencing a sense of remorse. If only I had been quicker, more powerful. If I could have only kept her safe.
While watching over Tanya, I couldn't stop pondering about our journey up to that point. We had experienced numerous obstacles, but now we were confronting yet another challenge.
I considered the pool and the enchantment it contained. I considered the pearl, and the strength it possessed. And I reflected on Tanya's resilience and bravery during our adventure.
