REBOOT SIENNA

Chapter 16: Live To Sienna Pt.16

Kelly had a surprised look on her face. She knew that there were only a few priests who could perform prayers of healing.

Roy approached Kelly’s bedside and greeted her, “I am Roy Whist, of the Goddess of the Earth.”

“I am Kelly Grinnie. I should be getting up properly to greet you…”

At Kelly’s words, Roy put his hands up and said, “No, it’s fine. If you lie down comfortably, I will try to cast my prayer of healing from the Goddess of the Earth.”

“It’s already an honor for this old one to have been offered a humble prayer of healing. There are very few priests who can perform the healing rites. But for such a precious person to be here…”

“No, it’s alright. The Goddess of Earth gave me this ability so that I could use it to help people. It is also the Will of the Goddess to have met miss Kelly and to pray for your health.”

Roy gave Sienna a nod and took Kelly’s hand. Roy’s fingertips began to emit a bright light. The glow looked extremely sacred. Moreover, the light seemed to be moving with a sense of purpose and determination. Roy mumbled out a series of unintelligible words from a language that did not sound like human words.

The light that had begun at Roy’s fingertips became more intense and lasted for a long time. Sienna watched the rite, feeling as if Roy had been possessed.

Suddenly, the light scattered all over the room.

“Wow…”

Sienna could not even give a proper exclamation after seeing that massive and incredible ordeal.

By contrast with those who could save people from death’s door, and those who could heal hundreds at a time, the priest had said that he could only offer a bit of consolation through his power, but his words seemed to have been too modest. Though Sienna had not checked on Kelly’s condition yet, sure enough, what she had seen with her own eyes had not been a small talent.

“Sir Roy, you’re really…”

Sienna tried to tell Roy of how amazing he was, but Roy staggered and dropped down to the ground on his butt, sitting as if strength had left his legs.

“Sir Roy!” Sienna ran to him and held him in her arms. “Are you all right?”

Roy opened his mouth with difficulty and said, “With all due respect, I think I’ll… If I fall asleep like this… I don’t think I’ll get up… for a while. I leave the temple to you… by request. The key in my pocket…”

He closed his eyes at last, unable to finish his speech. He seemed to have passed out.

“Sir Roy? Sir Roy?”

Even though Sienna called for him many times, he didn’t respond.

“Miss Kelly! Miss Kelly?!”

Jane approached Kelly and looked at her, so Sienna raised her head and asked, “How is my aunt doing?”

Jane scrutinized Kelly very meticulously and told her, “Unlike before, the blood and jaundice in her eyes are gone. It’s hard to say that she is still sick just by looking at your appearance. For now, it seems she has fallen into a deep sleep. He’s really amazing… To do that for miss Kelly… She needs to wake up first for us to be certain of anything, but from what I can see of her condition so far… She seems to have made a complete recovery.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes, that’s absolutely amazing. When miss Kelly got sick, I went around asking for who could heal her illness, but most of the people who could do it were senior cardinals of the Holy Empire… I never imagined that the young priest Roy was hiding such an ability.”
