In one bed lay a young man. His legs were completely crushed, likely from a terrible rockslide. Above his bed, a thick glass pipe pumped the glowing blue liquid. A soft blue light shone down from the pipe, bathing the man’s broken legs.

Rick watched in shock as the bones under the man's skin snapped back into place. Crack. Snap. The purple bruises faded away to normal skin color. The deep cuts sealed shut without a single drop of blood spilling. It took less than a minute. The man's legs were p

    It was Luna. She slid into the dirt beside him. She ignored the fighting all around them. She only looked at Rick.Her crystalline arm was glowing with a bright, pure white light. She pressed her crystal hand firmly against Rick's chest, right over his wildly beating heart."Rick, look at me!" Luna yelled over the noise of the battle.Rick slowly turned his head. His eyes were wide and wild. The veins on his neck were bulging and turning black.Luna gasped. She could feel his energy through her crystal skin. She was deeply connected to the magic of the world. She knew immediately what was happening to him."Your pulse!" Luna cried. Her eyes filled with terrified tears. "Rick, you are slipping! Your soul is losing its shape!""I have to fight him," Rick ground out through clenched teeth. "I have to destroy the blue light. I hate him, Luna. I hate what he is doing.""No!" Luna begged. She squeezed his shoulder tightly. "Listen to me! If you fight his Hatred with your own hatred, you wil

    The blue glass fell like rain. It was a terrible, beautiful storm. Millions of sharp, glowing blue pieces dropped from the broken ceiling. They cut through the dark air of the cavern. They hit the dirt floor with a loud, crashing sound. Crash. Tink. Shatter.And right behind the glass came the Enforcers.Hundreds of them dropped from the bright hole above. They wore their thick, spotless white armor. Their blue visors glowed in the dark. They did not scream as they fell. They did not yell a battle cry. They landed on their feet with heavy, perfect thuds. They were totally silent. They were machines of flesh and bone, emptied of their souls, ready to clean the "dirt" from the world.Rick stood in the center of the Hollow Clinic. He held his old wooden staff tightly in both hands. His knuckles were white. His chest was covered in his own dark, poisoned blood. He was exhausted, but he did not step back."Protect the patients!" Rick shouted. His voice was hoarse and broken, but it echoed

    The outcasts in the clinic lowered their weapons. They understood this pain perfectly.Rick slowly lowered his wooden staff. He walked over to the bed. He looked down at the smiling, empty woman. Then, he looked at Elias. Elias was the enemy. Elias had probably forced the cure on hundreds of innocent people.But right now, Elias was just a broken husband begging for his wife's soul.Rick knelt beside the bed. He placed his hands over the woman's chest."Hold her hand tightly, Elias," Rick instructed. "When she wakes up, she is going to be very scared, and she is going to be in a lot of pain. You must be her anchor."Elias grabbed his wife's hand with both of his hands, pressing it against his forehead. "I am here, Elara. I am right here."Rick closed his eyes. He gathered his Qi. His energy was low, and his chest burned with the black poison of the plague he had already absorbed. But he pushed through it. He found the blue chains inside Elara's heart.Rick sent a sharp wave of green,

    The people in the slums began to whisper the name. The Saint Below. They brought him their sick, their hollowed, their empty children. The dark tunnels were filled with the sounds of crying, groaning, and laughing. It was the loud, messy symphony of true human life.Luna stood near the warm fire in the barrel. She watched Rick work. Her eyes were full of love, but they were also full of deep worry.Inspector Vane stood next to her. He was wearing an old, dirty brown coat now. He helped around the clinic, bringing water and holding patients down when they struggled. He looked tired, but his brown eyes were sharp and alive."He is killing himself," Vane whispered to Luna.Luna nodded slowly. She looked at Rick's hands.Rick was pulling the Heaven's Cure out of a young girl. As the blue light shattered in the girl's chest, a wisp of the dark blue energy traveled up Rick's arms. Rick coughed heavily. He turned his head and spit onto the dirt floor.His spit was thick, and it was swirling

    Vane threw his head back and screamed. It was a loud, ugly, messy scream. It was the sound of a heart breaking into a million pieces.As Vane screamed, a miracle happened.The blue light in his right eye flickered. It flashed brightly one last time, fighting to stay alive. But the raw, powerful human sorrow was too strong. The blue light shattered like glass.Vane’s right eye faded to a normal, bloodshot brown.The glowing blue lines under his skin turned gray, and then they disappeared completely. The Heaven's Cure was gone. Vane fell back against the dirty floor, panting, sweating, and crying. He was weak. He was in emotional agony.But he was free.Rick sat back and wiped the sweat from his own forehead. His arms ached. Pulling the cure out of a high-ranking Inspector had taken a lot of energy.Luna walked over and placed a hand on Rick’s shoulder. She looked down at Vane. "He is human again.""Yes," Rick said softly. He looked around the large, damp tunnel. "We cannot go back up.

    The red alarm lights flashed in Laboratory Seven. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. The loud sound hurt Rick’s ears.Inspector Vane was on his knees in the doorway. He was a man who used to be a perfect machine. But now, he was broken. The tiny wisp of dark gray smoke from Rick’s bag had entered his eye. The smoke was pure human sorrow. It was the tears of a dying man.Vane’s left eye was a messy, chaotic human brown. His right eye was still glowing, solid blue."Please," Vane begged again. He grabbed the front of his torn black coat. "Teach me how to bleed."Inside the room, the woman possessed by Yuren laughed. It was a smooth, beautiful, terrible sound. "Oh, Vane," Yuren’s voice said through the smiling woman. "You let the dirt inside you. Enforcers! Cleanse him! Cleanse them all!"Rick did not wait. He moved faster than the wind.He grabbed the heavy iron mask from the table and shoved it into his bag. He grabbed the sleeping little boy with his left arm. With his right hand, he swung his wooden
