Hearing my question, she pretended to be calm, but her grip on my hand tightened. "I do purification magic often," she said, and suddenly she didn't look all that hurt anymore.

"The black witches took them all away," she glanced back uneasily, her brows furrowing together when she turned back at us. "Please… you have to help them. I'm in no condition to help them anymore." She then looked at me, pleading with her eyes.

"But… what about the key?" I asked, but took a step back away from her. I'm sure she noticed as she rose to her feet, limping forward with her wounded legs.
