Anne
Anne blinked, tears of pain welling up from her eyes. Two climbs since she had come to this new world and two failures. Had the fates allied themselves against her, placing unstable footholds along her way? Should she question her own ability? On her homeworld she had scaled similar and even harder cliffs with just minor scrapes and bruises.
Through the thick haze of pain disturbing her sight she saw the blurred shape of Bas healing her. Again. The pain lessened and her senses started returning to normal. Her eyesight cleared and her hearing resumed its normal sharpness.
She smiled feebly at Bas.
"Thank you Bas. I'd probably be in a dozen different pieces by now if it weren't for you. I hope I can repay you when the opportunity comes."
