"It actually worked."
Zee was surprised at the fact that the bond actually formed, because despite her trust in Alrik, it still wasn't supposed to be possible. She had no idea if it was a good sign or a bad sign. It could be good, because it meant he would advance in power level much faster and be able to handle more abilities. But bad because it could mean the danger in the future was more than she anticipated, and Alrik was being prepared to face it. Either way, they would worry about it when the time came. For now, completing the bond called for celebration.
Alrik opened his eyes, and smiled as he saw the sunrise. He had no idea Eliza was beside him till she moved closer. He turned to face her, still with a smile on her face. She gasped.
"Alrik! Your eyes. They're golden, and not because of the reflection of the sunrise."
He frowned as she said that, then stood, and moved to the mirror. She was right. His eye colour was golden now.
"Umm, Zee. Is this normal? My eyes changed."
