Chapter 23
I knelt over the unconscious woman, inspecting the back of her skull. The helmet had thankfully absorbed most of the blow, yet her head was split open pretty bad. Her breathing was weak and shallow, but fortunately she wasnât bleeding much from the injury.
âShould we administer a potion?â Higgins asked as he leaned over us, wiping poor Gloriaâs neck with a handkerchief.
âWe should get out of here,â Trig countered. âThat kind of explosion has probably caught the attention of every Titan in the world.â
âWe canât move her,â I said, as I pressed fingers against the top of her spine. âHer neck might be broken.â
âAvery, if it wasnât broken when I dropped her down a 30 foot pit, it wonât be broken if we carry her out of here,â Trig said. He was bouncing up and down, glancing around nervously. That fearful energy was starting to carry over to me and I began to worry greatly about what could be coming next.
âWe canât risk a neck injury,â I replied. âOne wrong move and she could be paralyzed for life.â
âSo what? Weâll give her a potion, thatâll fix it,â Trig argued.
I didnât have time to explain the limitations of potions to the boy and instead looked at Higgins. âWhat should we do?â
âThe boy is right about the noise,â Higgins murmured, looking around. âAnd Iâm not up to snuff with my abilities yet. I donât think thereâs a chance we could injure her any more than she has been. Worst case scenario, sheâs out of commission until we find a way to heal her nerve damage.â
âYeah, Iâve seen you regrow a hole in your stomach,â Trig said as he knelt down to help pick the woman up. âIf you can do that, you can fix paralysis.â
They had a point about regeneration. Potions might not fix the issue, but there were other types of ways to heal a person.
âFine,â I said, âletâs get her out of here. As quickly as possible. Trig, you need to hold her head tightly, and I mean tightly. Keep it in place no matter what. Higgins and I will carry her, as nice and evenly as we can. Damn it, we should have brought a stretcher.â
âIâll add that to the list of gear weâll need,â Higgins said as he helped me lift the unconscious woman. She moaned and swatted a hand up at us. That was a good sign.
Together, the three of us began to move the body back towards the Home Cave. It was difficult, for her gear was heavy and Higgins wasnât as strong as me (thanks to my bone charm), making us move quite slowly.
As we left the clearing, I heard the skittering noises of little stones moving across the ground, as if the wind were blowing gravel. Yet, there was no wind.
âHold up,â I said, stopping in my tracks.
âSheâs way too heavy. We should have taken her armor off,â Higgins grunted as we stopped. I glanced behind us to see that the corpses of the gembeasts were beginning to shake.
