Lying on a wooden bed that was now completely broken, Darian calmly opened his eyes.
He felt a gaze and a warmth close to his body, and, when he looked at his own arm, he saw a pair of amber eyes softly staring at him.
They exchanged intense looks and feelings for a few seconds, in silence.
Then Darian took a deep breath and felt a strange burning sensation. Looking over his own body, he noticed it was covered in sharp bite marks that still caused a faint pain; now, he was sure that everything that had happened before hadn't been a dream.
Niara, on the other hand, had white skin and was completely intact as before… or almost, because now she gave off a different glow, as if she had light of her own.
Her aura had also changed, with a Yang presence three times greater than before. That had come from Darian and had been fully absorbed by her body, along with many other things.
