The Magical World of Livy

The heat was so intense in front of their faces. The twelve nurses in black gowns with white patterns on their necks tried to find people who could still be saved. Unfortunately, almost all the houses here have been destroyed by fire.

"Is there anyone else here?" a nurse shouted.

There was barely any sound to be heard other than the sound of fire slowly consuming the wooden buildings. Although it's part of the Wallenstein District of Telhi City, the village is still too far from the downtown. The help had also not arrived because it had to go through quite dense jungle.

"Is someone here?" another nurse shouted again.

Despite risking their lives, these nurses were willing to do it just to save the remaining people from that horrific event. The smell of burning materials mixed with the smell of blood and corpses, all in this place.

"This is terrible," a silver-haired nurse muttered.

Armed with only minimal equipment and no weapons, these nurses tried to help anyone who was still alive. They didn't seem to care if there were still enemy witches ready to attack them at any time.

In the midst of the uncertainty, the sound of a crying baby was heard from the direction of two o'clock. The silver-haired nurse immediately approached the sound, followed by two nurses behind her.

"This is ..."

That's right. a year-old baby was seen lying in front of them. While behind her was an adult woman who was crushed by building materials. There was also a blaze that began to devour everything around it.

The three nurses immediately tried to help them both. The silver-haired nurse immediately carried the baby, while the other two nurses tried to get the woman out from under the pile of wood.

"M-My daughter is still alive, huh? Thank goodness," the woman said haltingly.

"Hang in there, ma'am. We'll save you soon," the silver-haired nurse said.

As if she had given up, the woman just shook her head and answered with a soft voice.

"No. Just save my daugh-ter. My time will come soon."

"What are you talking about, ma'am? We'll be right-"

One of the nurses encouraged her as she tried to get her out of the woodpile. But her words stopped when she saw something sad in front of her.

The adult woman's body was already in a very critical condition. Her left leg was broken, rotating almost 180 degrees from its original position. Not only that, its depth was also badly damaged. The fresh blood had soaked almost her entire body.

"Ma'am ..."

With such conditions, it seems natural that the adult woman had resigned herself to her fate and waited for her death to arrive. But the nurses thought otherwise. They continued to encourage the woman and tried to get her out of that place, even though the flames were ready to devour them at any time.

Almost a minute passed and nothing changed in that critical condition. The mother still couldn't be removed, while the baby continued to struggle and cry. The adult woman then spoked again to the silver-haired nurse.

"P-please. P-please take care of my daughter. Take care of h-her."

The silver-haired nurse just nodded her head without saying a word, because that was the purpose of their coming here, to save and treat people who could still be saved. The mother continued her words.

"Her-name is, A-Alisa Garbareva."

The mother mentioned her daughter's name. But when she heard the name, the silver-haired nurse was immediately surprised. A name that seemed familiar to her.

"Alisa Garbareva? Wait, Garbareva? So you are-"

Before the nurse could finish speaking, a large tree beside the woman fell towards them.

"WATCH OUT!!"

BRUKK

The two nurses who were trying to save the mother immediately jumped back. But unfortunately, the large tree trunk hit that adult woman. The flames grew bigger.

"MRS GARBAREVA!!" shouted the silver-haired nurse.

There was no more answer from her. That woman's voice was no longer heard.

"Mrs Garbareva ..."

"HUAAA!!"

The baby cried even louder, whether because of the sound that startled her, the increasingly scorching heat, or because her mother was no longer there. No one knew for sure.

Saw that, the nurse immediately hugged her tightly and left the place to find a safer place. The nurse's warm hug managed to calm the baby. She stopped crying.

"Mrs Garbareva, I will do as you wish. I will take care of this baby for you. May you rest in peace."

The silver-haired nurse looked at the baby's face, then kissed her lovingly.

"Don't worry, Alisa Garbareva. This Weiss Karny will always take care of you until you grow up. I promise to you and your mother."
