Now the balance had been broken, allowing the virus to gain the upper hand.
John sliced open his palm, and blood tinged with gold dripped from it into Martha's mouth.
The wound quickly stopped bleeding. John took out a bottle of green potion and poured it into her mouth as well.
The color rapidly drained from Martha's face, leaving her as pale as a corpse that had been dead for days.
