Drabble Challenge #62

Prompt: sacrifice

“Why have you come to help us when no one else would?”

“Because I took an oath to serve as a healer.”

“But you have made such a great sacrifice! You know that our sickness means you can never leave.”

“Yes, I know. But it was either come here or serve in that senseless war. In this place I am doing something beneficial. It is extremely important for medicine to find a cure for this disease.”

“Others have tried and failed. What makes you think you will be successful this time?”

“I must – my wife and children have the sickness.”
