Rui smiled with anticipation as he watched Arastia grow stunned at all the blood that floated around her with astonishment in her little blood-red eyes. Max and Mana stood frozen as they watched her blood adhere to her will, revolving around her in a strange manner.
"What…" Arastia's tone was frightened. "What is this?"
Rui approached her with a soft expression, kneeling before her as he gently patted her head with warm reassurance.
"I'm sorry for the pain I caused you, but you wouldn't have been able to draw out your true power without it."
Arastia's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement. "True power?"
"Big bro, just what is this power?" Max frowned as he took a closer look at Arastia's floating blood.
Mana's expression grew illuminated with dawning realization. "This must be an ability of the Blood Goddess."
