“ Crystal ?”  Kory repeated her name slowly because it wasn’t anything like the harsh sounding names that people had in the north country  he’d  originated from. It seemed to dance off the tongue ,  and as he watched her sleep on the bed of moss he kept saying it over and over to himself , relishing in the sound. . Her dress had fallen down and he gently pulled it back up and noticed all the scratches and slap marks from the brutal men. Kory stroked her  chin with one finger and talked to her. “ Crystal .. what happened to you ? Your hurt so bad .... Please don’t die .. let me help you “<br/><br/>Kory dipped water from the pool in the palm of his hand because he wanted to sprinkle a little on her forehead. The blue water began to shimmer and silver sparkles emitted from the surface. The sparkles drifted over Crystal and began to settle on her skin and dress giving her healing energy.  “ Crystal ? Please be ok .”
