"Duke Lotus...please, it's no use."
The Grand Duke says to me as he coughs up blood. He holds onto my arm as I try to slow the bleeding with my healing magic. I curse under my breath for not studying better healing spells when I had the chance to. The other mages who are attempting to heal him look desperate. The expression of despair is visibly shown on each one.
I am not giving up.
I keep my hands as steady as I can as they continue to produce light magic to purify and heal the damage. We just need to keep the loss of blood to a minimum until we can get some rare potions down here to stabilize him. A couple of people rush off to find some potions while the other mages and I try to keep him alive.
Nothing is working though.
