He woke several hours after taking the blood into his body. His form now settled as the horns caused him pain growing back to full length as he woke up fully. The morning sun greeted him as it illuminated his dark bathroom.
'Argh! What the hell is the pain in my head… Huh? When the hell did I grow horns?'
Lucian felt a little confused and expected a reply from Siesta. He stood rubbing along the horns, their soft texture like a smooth jade, and the rings that magically floated felt rough like the edges of stone.
'Siesta, what are these weird rings?'
However, there was nobody to answer his call.
'Siesta?'
He asked again, only to hear silence.
However, her voice that would comfort him was no longer there. His mind considered what could have happened. Thanks to his stronger emotions, he also began thinking the worst.
'She finally discovered I was a lost cause and unbound me, right?'
