Clyde and Asqa remained in the bedroom. The silence wrapped around them. Despite their exhaustion they had begun to tap into the healing potential nestled within their altered bodies from the power granted by the Ancient One himself.
They sat cross-legged on the massive bed with eyes closed in perfect stillness. They channeling the residual dark energy that now flowed through their veins combined with healing power.
Threads of light and shadow weaved around them, drawn from the magic of the cosmos and the alien essence of their benefactor, the outer god.
It wasn't an instant recovery but the process was vastly faster than any natural healing.
Five minutes passed.
Clyde's breathing steadied. The burns on his arms were gone. The aches faded. He slowly opened his eyes and glancing sideways at Asqa.
Her body was enveloped in a swirling aura of white and dark energy like moonlight and void dancing together in perfect rhythm.
