In One Breath

“What makes you ask?” Andrev asked.

Rastaban gestured vaguely. “You’re not really human. You’re stronger and faster. It stands to reason that you heal faster than most humans and are harder to kill. Perhaps Dalinor, who has fine-tuned his power, survived the attack.”

“I doubt it,” Andrev said. “For all their cruelty and idiocy, Kir and Savva are skilled hunters. They have slain many fierce beasts.” The first of his kind he had ever met, and the people who claimed to have saved him, the people who called him blessed and cursed in one breath - they had killed him.
