Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
"What happened?" I asked Marina as I stood beside Lucia's bed.
Alwin sat on the bed with his hand holding hers. Aydalia and the others had also gathered to check on Lucia. Ty looked concerned, but then again, I think all of us were.
"Your energy is very different from magic. It can be converted into magic, and it can be used as a substitute, but we haven't tested long term effects it might have on someone." She then gestured to Lucia. "This was the outcome. Lucia should be fine though." Marina added. "Your energy was acting more as a placebo than a replacement towards the end. While it may work, doing so is not the best alternative to actually resting." Marina explained. "I'm honestly surprised she lasted as long as she did." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"I did this?" The words left my lips in a whisper.
"What are you even basing this on?" I inquired. "I don't want to risk Lucia's health just because we're working off of assumptions."
Shaking her head, Ayda answered. "This is no assumption. I have been through something similar with Priestess Arceana." Answered with a sigh as her brother and mother looked at her in surprise. "It only happened once."
Aydalia frowned deeply at that before she looked at me. "I also had something similar happen with the Priestess." She admitted. "Arceana nursed me while I was unconscious by giving me small amounts of her magic. It was more of an insurance than anything, but losing magic, or energy in this case, would be more of a hindrance like Marina suggested."
Turning back to Marina, I asked, "How did you come up with this?"
"Our father spoke of his battle with Original Magic often at times with Mara. It seemed there was a similar case of what Lucia is going through."
"...Then I will stay with her. I can emit a small amount of energy throughout the room so it's more ambient than being poured into her directly." I looked at Ayda. "Will that work?"
The Elf paused in thought. "It might, but you should check on her often in the beginning to make sure. Alwin, my mother, or myself can help verify as the days pass."
"You have my thanks."
