"There's a shaman here," Jeshua said.
He turned and motioned for another one of the orcs in the hall. An orc dressed in fur robes appeared. It was apparently a shaman, though not the one from earlier. Seeing Kilisha, it kneeled down and examined her closely, placing one hand on her forehead for a moment. Then it looked back up to speak.
"She under lots of curses," said the shaman in broken Common. "Most... old. There long time. Cannot cure. But new one, cure easy."
He reached into a pouch and produced a skin filled with a slimy, stinky liquid like the one that had been used to repair Xiao Long's broken arm the night before. He then gestured his hand in front of Kilisha's face. A second later, the succubus's eyes blinked open.
At first, Kilisha's eyes widened at the sight of the orc. But then she noticed Seryntas, Xiao Long, and Jeshua nearby and realized that these were the friendly orcs.
"Drink," said the shaman, holding the skin out to the succubus.
Weakly, Kilisha took the potion in one of her hands and started to drink it. Her face immediately contorted into an expression of disgust, but she kept drinking until she was finished.
Kilisha immediately felt her strength returning. She sat back up, and started to stand. Then she suddenly reached around to her back, her face contorting again, this time in pain. In the next second, actin on impulse, she hastily pulled her leather armor up over her head and quickly removed it.
As soon as the armor was out of the way, something tore out through the back of her shirt. It was... a pair of wings. A pair of black-feathered wings had appeared on Kilisha's back.
"That... not supposed to happen," commented the shaman.
