question, Leeha! “A large one such as, say, an open wound, will use more as it not only requires repairing the opening but also kills off something that is called germs.” Again, germs is said in English. Turning to me, she asks, “What’s a germ?”

“Well, it’s a word from my world, I can tell you that much. You don’t know about little things in your body that make you sick?” I ask, surprised. I look over at Leeha, Lahana, and Maxil, and they are all shaking their heads.

“Seriously? Wow. Where do I start? So, when you get a cut, you get an infection, right?” I ask around. At everyone’s nod, I ask, “What causes that infection?”

Everyone looks at each other, unsure. “Is it because you have an injury?” Leeha asks with a frown.

“Ah, but something is causing it, right? What is causing it is something that is so small you cannot see it with your eyes. On my world it’s called a germ. It causes the body to get sick. Do you have things like diseases or plagues here?”

“Yes, though the last plague was a long time ago,” Maxil says.

Nodding to him, I say, “Well, a germ causes plagues and diseases. When someone is healthy, the body is able to fight it off, but if they are sick or injured, it’s harder. Take, for example, Marken’s hand. If it’s left to fester, the germs will cause an infection, and he can actually lose his hand, or even worse, it can cause fever in him, and he can die.”

Leeha grabs my arm forcefully and says, “Then you need to heal him, Alex. He might be annoying at times, but he is my little brother.”

“Don’t worry,” I tell her, putting a hand over hers. “I will try to heal Marken with the help of Bridget.”

“Yes, we will!” Bridget cries, jumping up into the air and pumping her fist.

I look at her oddly and ask her, “Are you sure you’ve never lived a life?”

She looks at me and blushes. “As I said, I have the experiences without the contexts. That just felt like the right thing to do. Was it wrong?”

“No,” Leeha says, laughing and hugging her close. “That was the exact right thing to do.”

Watching them both, I can’t help but notice that their two large chests are squished together, and in my eyes, that is a beautiful thing to see and puts a grin on my face.

Leeha looks over and sees my grin, and she throws a kiss my way as if to say soon. Bridget, on seeing what Leeha did and probably guessing at the reason, blushes. Who knew that an Elemental could blush?

Chapter Twenty-Six

Once we are all gathered around Marken, we see that he is still sweating heavily, and his breathing is labored.

“Shit,” I say, crouching down next to him quickly. I put my hand on his forehead, and he is burning up. “Crap, let’s hope we aren’t too late. He is already burning up.”

Marken has his hand tucked into his stomach. I slowly pull it away from his body and even out cold, he is trying to fight me. Once I do, I turn the hand over, and I hear gasps from behind me. The hand is swollen to twice its normal size and some of the blisters have opened up. Shit, I can see dirt in them.

“Fucking hell,” I say. Turning to Lahana, I say to her quickly, “I need hot water. Not too hot. Can you use your magic to heat water to just above room temperature? I need to clean his wounds. I also need a large bowl to pour the water out of—” but I stop as I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and it’s Bridget.

“Alex, you can use your magic for that. Or me. What are you trying to do?” she asks me.

“I want to sluice water over his hand, so that I can clean it from the debris that is there. I know we can heal him, but it might be a good idea to clean the wound first. Maybe, I don’t know, it’ll use less of my power?”

“Then call up what you need using your words,” Bridget says reassuringly.

I nod, close my eyes, and take a deep breath, and imagine what I want. Once I think I know, I say, “Earth, Fire, Water. Oh, and just in case, Mind.”

Then, I say, “Water, use Fire to heat up to just above the temperature of the surrounding area and then run over his hand. Earth, absorb the water and purify it before running it over his hand again. Mind, put him into a deep sleep.”

You have used a Spell command. You have used 1,000 points of power.

Bridget, who was standing next to me, is suddenly gone, but in her place is a fountain pouring water into a small Fire Elemental globe and then gently pouring over Marken’s hand. The water then hits the ground but gets absorbed before it can splash him, even though Marken is still on the sleeping mat, as we had not felt comfortable moving him to the area with the packed earth.

Suddenly, another water line flows from the ground and connects to the water fountain, but its introduction makes me jerk in surprise as it comes from over my shoulder.

“Do not worry, Alex. That is me re-feeding the water through the dirt as you wanted, to be purified through the earth. How did you know to do that?” Bridget says in my head.

“I figured we could use the earth as a filter. I am glad it worked, since we need pure water for this,” I tell her.

“Well, because it is going through Earth magic, it’s as pure as can be,” she says proudly.

I look at Marken’s hand and see that the dirt is starting to clear from the open blisters. Once it’s all gone, Bridget speaks before I can say anything.

“Now is the part that we need to do together, Alex,” she says cautiously.
