I added a new aspect of Obsidian's gift

Chapter 4: A Second Chance at Life

As Obsidian finished her first semester she felt a slow pain in her chest, she traveled her portal but to no avail; then one day she was with Minty and Vapor, she noticed Vapor seemed unwell. Vapor was energetic and hyper, and also a big eater and yet somehow stayed at a healthy weight. Now Vapor seemed weary, her mane was thinning out, and she was getting thin........ unhealthily thin. As the days drew on, the pain got sharper.

It was in the middle of the night when Obsidian sat up and got out of bed and went up on her mirror an recited the spell. The portal opened in Vapor's room and she saw Vapor sitting on her bed crying; she stepped through she walked up. She saw a small foal, beside coughing and sputtering out blood; Minty was on the phone telling someone to hurry. Also in the room was a fallen book case, the scene was obvious and it was heart wrenching. She asked if she could hold the foal and she was permitted to do so.

Her horn lit up as she closed her eyes and hummed. In her father's journal it was written that even though she couldn't prevent death but her special gift had the power also to slow death down to give a pony a second chance to live. Vapor and Minty watched in awe as the blood coming from the foal's mouth slow to a stop and medical ponies ran up the stairs and rushed the foal to the ER.

After some tense hours the doctor in charge came out, "It is a miracle, we were able to stabilize the youngster, he'll be fine. The internal bleeding stopped long enough by some use of magic or something but it was enough to give him a second chance at life." As he was thanked and he walked out. The trio breathed, Vapor's parents arrived from out of town and we're relieved that their son was gonna make it.
