There was a quiet silence before the bird morphed again. A woman now stood in front of him.
She was absolutely charming, with orange flaming hair and eyes, a beautiful figure, and a face that would cause wars.
She still had her wings, made of fire, flapping behind her as she leaned forward and cupped Lucian's cheek.
"My name is Athena Firefox, of house Sunfire, of the name of old Sicilis, I am the phoenix god daughter and I swear to you those who would harm you will die screaming."
Lucian smiled then burst into laughter. Gold, he had picked up gold. How did someone so powerful end up among mortals?
"My name is Lucian Bloodmoor, from the Bloodmoor family, Son of Lilith Bloodmoor and I swear to you, I will protect and nurture you as long as I'm alive."
She leaned back a satisfied smile on her face and turned into a bird again. From their bond, she seemed to prefer that form.
