Lidia screamed in pain. Her skin started glowing with a faint yellow hue. Slimo started to panic, but when he tried picking her up, she pushed him away.
"D-Don't touch me! I think I'll be okay."
Lidia cursed and clenched her teeth. Her skin glowed more and more, illuminating the dim room around them. Slimo listened and gave her some space to go through the process herself. Suddenly, the glowing faded under her skin. Lidia was left heavily panting on the ground, staring up at the ceiling in silence. Slimo looked through the lenses at her in awe.
"L-Lidia... you-"
Before he could finish speaking, Lidia stood up and touched her face lightly.
"I feel different. It feels like my very soul is has been strengthened in some way."
She looked over at the broken tail of the serpent.
"I heard... a voice call to me."
She finally looked at Slimo. His silver eyes were still widened as he looked at her through his lenses.
"Do you see anything different about me?"
