Milose's Breath

Although he kept saying time was pressing, Brando's party still delayed for another day by the Nuga River. Fortunately, the hunter girl Peya was in excellent physical condition. Her fever quickly subsided, and her wounds recovered at an astonishing speed.

Brando did not know whether this counted as a special talent of hunters, but on the morning of the third day, he insisted that the party set out no matter what.
