The Medallion

In order to heal his wounds, Rocky had to keep mute as Esteban told him to. Every day, he looked up at Esteban with big eyes and watched the latter use different methods to try and fix him.

His consciousness had returned for a few days and now, he wanted Esteban to repair him completely. Although Esteban's efforts were not obvious to the naked eye, Rocky could feel his body slowly recovering.

Yet, he still didn't feel the presence of the power that had once flowed through his body. It was like it had vanished into thin air. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for that to happen.

In addition, while he was treating Rocky, he discovered that Rocky's physique was completely different than any human being he had treated before. He saw traces of power in his skin. Rocky had been seriously injured, and Esteban figured that he was able to recover because of the unique aspects of him.
