Brand

I winced as the writing brush made its way over my hip, slowly and deliberately, the power-infused ink fusing itself with my skin. It felt like lightning.

“Sorry,” Närcyssa whispered as she made the final stroke. She set the brush down on a cloth next to the ink well and gingerly brushed two fingers over the rune she had drawn, whispering a healing word.

The pain subsided in an instant, and I whirled my head around to look at her, eyes wide, speechless. “How did–?”

She gave me a small smile. “The Light forgives more easily than you, sister.”

Note: The rune that Närcyssa drew can be seen on the major glyphs for paladins.
