Redtail Rise power of the saber blade

She did not know how to explain in better words.  It was only a fact of life that things happened, many good and many bad.  And sometimes the bad were the things most needed to learn peace.  She would not have found this without pain.

She was not.  Though she had not gotten sick, the wounds Riley had torn in her had been neither cleaned nor treated.  Infection still riddled them, preventing healing and sapping her strength.  She did not remember what it was to not feel pain.

Instead of answering she attempted to stand.  Her legs barely pushed her from the ground before they buckled and she was back where she’d started.
