Little Town of Torriden (rewriting off Wattpad)

15 ~ The Ball, Part 3

"Estelle! Wake up!" Aranya shook Estelles arm and the princess slowly regained consciousness.

Eyes adjusting to her surroundings, Estelles vision was blurry and head pounded with a ringing in her ears.

"Are you ok? I woke up a few minutes ago disoriented and I was surrounded by everyone that passed out." Worry filled the woman who was hovered over Estelle.

Finally regaining composure, Estelle nodded her head. "I'm fine now, but what happened?"

"I have no idea. One moment everyone was dancing, the next I felt like a substance hit me, but before I could tell what it was, I was unconscious." The two looked at each other with concern in their eyes. "Next thing I know, I wake up. First thing I thought of was to find you and make sure you were ok, so here we are now."

A moment of silence passed before Estelle was hit with Realization. "My sister. I need to make sure she's ok."
"Yes, let's go looking for her."

It was quite disturbing stepping over bodies as the two walked, but they had a mission. They just had to be careful not to step on anyone. "Should we try and wake them up?" Aranya asked.

"They may take too long to get their composure back and I need to make sure my sister is ok. We can wake them up after we find Aedra." Estelle had seemingly taken a role of leadership with this circumstance, and Aranya, although surprised, liked this side of her.

After some time looking and not finding Aedra, panic set in. "What if something terrible happened to her? What if she was standing over the pond and now is dead? What if I never see her again?" Salty tears ran down Estelle's cheeks, and Aranya embraced her before she could continue.

"I'm sure we will find your sister, just hang in there for a little longer, ok?" a soft voice that calmed Estelle was used, and the princess cried into the woman's shoulder for a good amount of time before pulling away.

Sniffling and with a slightly rigged voice from crying, Estelle stood up straight and spoke to her new acquaintance. "Thank you for that."

Inside was no luck, the front was no luck, and now the only possible area was the back. A few people had woken up, but the two women brushed them off and tried their best to continue without any issues or drawbacks. As Estelle's hand gripped onto the back handle and opened the door, shock flew over her at the sight ahead. She could see a white haired man covered in blood laying on the ground, and this seemed to overpower other issues for the time being.

"Oh my god." Running over with Aranya close behind, Estelle checked the man's body for injuries. She noticed a small stab into his inner elbow, but what drew her attention the most was a deep stab wound in his right shoulder. Blood had engulfed the shirt's fabric and blood loss was immense.

Fabric tore from estelles dress as she ripped the sleeve off of her tailored gown to wrap around the victim's arm.

"Let me help. I have something that can clean and help with his healing process." Aranya reached behind her and plucked a herb from the ground, forming it into a powder with magic emitted from her hands. Estelle did not know or pay attention to how this powder that Aranya gave her came to be, but did not care. Although she had just met this individual, she trusted her.

Sprinkling the dust over Kierens wound, something Estelle had never seen before happened right before her eyes. His wound started to close, the blood flow stopping, and she could see parts of his insides near the wound being moved and altered to help heal.

"How can something like this happen? This is something abnormal. Did Aranya make this? How is this possible?" Thoughts rushed through Estelles mind as she watched in awe of the man before her being healed.
