The world was turning black. "It hurts. It hurts." The bag seems so far away, despite it being just a few inches away from her grasp. "I-... I have to stay awake. I can't fall asleep." But her eyes proved to be too heavy. "Stay awake. Stay awake."
Just as she was about to give up, somebody came to her aid. She was brought to her feet and was handed her bag of medicine. The pain was still unbearable however and her legs gave out, she manages to catch herself by dropping to her knees. The shock of being brought up and dropping has shook her up enough to stay wide awake.
"M-my medi... -cine..." With shaky hands, she quickly opens the bag and grabs one of the pills at the top. The girl brings her hand up to her mouth to swallow the pill she took. The medicine is meant to calm her heart down as quickly as possible, being infused with a special kind of healing magic, and the effects are immediately making themselves known right as the pill goes down her throat.
The pain slowly went away, as her heart gradually returned to its normal state. Elisha's strength was returning, and she takes several deep breaths to help.
After a few moments, Elisha opens her eyes again, this time having recovered from her short lapse of an attack. She quickly looks upward to look at the person who saved her. The person was tall, probably a head taller than her. Elisha shakily gets back up.
"I very much humbly thank you." The girl bows as low as she could, just enough to not topple over again. "I am in your debt."
The tall woman asks her if she was alright as she directs them towards the palace. "Yes, thank you for your concern." A slight pause. "...I happen to have a heart condition." Her head drops a bit, perhaps in shame of her condition. "I didn't want to be late, so I took the risk of sprinting all the way over here." Elisha lets out a gentle chuckle. "A very dangerous risk at that."
It's subtle, but Elisha could tell that the woman next to her is nervous. Perhaps a little stiff. "Is there something bothering her?"
Before she could ask about it, the woman continues her questions. "My name is Elisha Marluxia. I live a little bit south from here. About two hours away. And no, I don't need to go back there right now. I'm here about a quest that my parents asked me to take part in."
Elisha couldn't help but notice that this quest has attracted a rather large and interesting group of people. A lot of different types of adventurers were present. An archer, a beast tamer, swordsmen, fencers, and others. But she was wondering if any of them were actually going to partake in it.
