"Stop," Allen declared.
The shock that filled the room was as if the word shock had multiplied itself by ten. Hearts beat in disbelief, and even the air seemed to grow hotter as the once-unconscious bodies of Caelen and Garric sat up at once.

"H–How did we get here?" Garric muttered, completely shocked, as the last thing he remembered was standing in a place surrounded by bushes, while overseeing the Goblin Clan.
Allen hadn't just reversed their wounds—he had reversed their entire body systems: their digestion, their energy, and even their memories.
